from pattern website:

I like to recycle everything I can, so I’ve been collecting all my swatches, convinced that I would find a use for them. Just as I was reaching my storage limit, I thought up a way to use them all: Swatchies are little creatures made out of swatches, using leftover craft materials and a little imagination.

Materials:

• Two swatches of similar size
• A handful of Polyfill
• A tapestry needle
• Crochet hook of choice
• Scraps of yarn and felt
• Any other crafty materials you have left over from other projects (ribbons, buttons, beads, Fun Fur, etc.)

Notes:
There is no set pattern for making a Swatchie; everyone’s will be different. Following is the way to make the body of a Swatchie and ideas on how to fancy it up. Be creative, and most importantly, recycle, reuse, and re-purpose!
