Notes

This is a delightful design. In my queue a long time.
Adapted head to make a dog and pony as well.
Modified the bunny head also.

a few issues:

  1. The directions for the heads are the same for all three. The bunny head appears wider than the other two and taller than the bear. Pattern states to put more stuffing in the cheek area, hence creating that shaping. I didn’t get that result.

  2. The bear head appears smaller than the cat head. This might be because the cat head has the color changes. Perhaps the bear head should be designed a little bigger or use a hook one size bigger for the bear head.

  3. There are no directions for tails on any of the animals. One must fashion tails on one’s own.

Erratum:
Finishing Head:
Directions state to attach muzzle 11 r down from top of head.
Correction:
Attach muzzle so the top of the muzzle is 11r from the base of the head.

Modifications:
Elected to knot the arms and legs because they are very long and unstuffed. Before long, they’ll stretch out and be way too long. One can omit 10 rows or so from each arm and leg and stuff them gently as an option.

Each animal (no stripes) used about 200 y MC and 40 y CC.

Made embroidered eyes so these can be given to kids under 3 years old.

One can make these ragdoll style by leaving the body unstuffed.
One can make a dog by making the bunny ears shorter.
