According to the internet, the wendigo is a cold climate creature that’s been spotted in Canada and in northern states like Minnesota. Some locals who’ve encountered the beast consider it a relative of Bigfoot, but reports describe the beast as more of a werewolf than a Sasquatch. The wendigo is often described as a creature with owl-like eyes, large claws and an emaciated body. Others describe it looking like a skeleton with ash-toned skin. This strange being is said to live alone in the forest and feeds on human flesh. (Wendell thinks that is GROSS!)

Here in PA, I was lucky enough to find one as an infant. I named him Wendell, and though he may look menacing with those gnarly teeth, he is really quite gentle. He uses his fangs to help open cans of cat food and cut my yarn if I can’t find my scissors. He is quite helpful, and loves hanging out with Nom the Gingerbread Man, Kris Kringle, and Eldrich the Elf. All 3 patterns are available in an E book, Christmas Buddies at a discounted price.

Wendell is a beginner friendly pattern, and a great stash buster. He only takes a few hours to make.
