Winston and Myrtil are best friends. They have known each other since they were very young and have always felt inseparable. And yet they are so very different: while Myrtil loves being at home, Winston is a wanderer at heart.

This pattern is a revamped version of Winston Leon, in fresh new clothes, and is part of my second book “Chez Myrtil” published by Laine Publishing.

Une version française de “Chez Myrtil” sera disponible prochainement, au plus tard en janvier 2027.

Also included: patterns for the jacket and the trousers.
