Buddy - a puppy softie pattern
Meet Buddy.
He's huggable and soft and wants to be your best friend.
He's looking for someone who will play with him a lot. Like - all the time. Do you know any kids like that? Buddy sure would like to meet them.
I think you need to make Buddy and welcome him into your home. You can do it!

Difficulty
This one's a skill builder because there's a gusset under his chin and that's going to be a new skill for most beginners. There's a video (of course) showing you how to do it. I think you'll be surprised by how easy it is - especially if you're using fleece fabric!
You can find links to sources for many of my favorite tools and supplies here.
You'll Need. . .
- 1/2 yard fabric (I recommend cuddly fleece)

- plastic pellets (I like Fairfield brand Poly Pellets)
