Are you a very beginning knitter looking to make something more fun than a potholder or a scarf? Do you have a kid itching to take up needles and yarn? Give these two a try!

If you can knit garter stitch, you can make yourself a new little friend. The pattern is written out, and I’ve included step-by-step instructions, including pictures!
