Meet Elliott! He's cute and cuddly with big, soft ears and long, flexible arms and legs that are easy to make and so much fun to play with. :-)

Look at this gorgeous grey version that Dee made.

I love the added bow tie! (There's a free pattern for that here.)

You Get. . .

• A digital pattern delivered by email. (If you're not sure what a PDF pattern is, you'll find more info here.)
• full-sized pattern pieces – no enlarging needed

Size

He's about 13 inches tall when sitting - not counting his legs or his super tall ears. His arms and legs are about 7 inches long. That's long enough to hug a friend. :-)

Difficulty

Easy! 

There's nothing tricky on this one - just cuddly cuteness. :-) If you can use your sewing machine, you can make him.

You'll Need. . .

• 1/2 yd. purple fleece fabric (I love using Cuddle Fleece)
• scraps of contrasting fabric for his ear linings (optional)
• 2 9mm safety eyes
• plastic pellets for filling (I like Fairfield Poly Pellets)
• polyester fiberfill (I love Fairfield brand Soft Touch Poly­fil Supreme)
• sewing machine, thread, basic sewing and embroidery tools

You might also want. . .

• small piece of Soft & Stable if you want his ears to stand out instead of being floppy
