Possum Bob may think he is in charge, but it is Bobbi Lulu who wears the pouch in the family! Look around and you may spot these two along with Lil’ Bob and Bobiña hiding out in the woodpile eating ticks and other creepy crawlies!

Here’s an adorable and super quick pattern for that last minute gift or for your sale event! Make a few or make a huge family - mix and match as needed! Mom is a pouch and can hold a baby or two which makes this extra fun for those little ones.
