Either with the glow of summer or of winter, enjoy this Solstice as our Earth seems to pause at the extreme of its orbit.

This is a pattern for a medium sized stuffed toy animal. There are 3 ear pairs and 2 tails to choose from: bear, mouse, and rabbit, but the body is worked the same for all 3 animals.
This pattern includes instructions for a couple small outfits with 2 motifs to choose from (wintry & mushroom): jumper, dress, & trousers.

Place all 8 Solstice Glow patterns in your cart and use code pre-book. The full set is $29.99 (previously purchased items apply).

The toy is worked from the feet up through the body and with the head, arms, ears, and tail worked separately before being attached. The majority of this toy is worked in the round.
