Clarence is a tiny fisherman friend that you’ll love to knit! He’s happiest spending time by the seaside, fishing, collecting shells and taking brisk morning walks - even if it’s raining! After he’s had fun on the beach he loves nothing better than coming home to his seafront cottage. grabbing a cup of tea and a blanket and snuggling up in front of the fire. Complete with a cute yellow sou’wester and sardine, Clarence is ready for a day of fishing and fun.

The perfect gift for any seaside dweller or beach lover, this pattern is a great introduction to knitted toys. Its small size allows you to practice simple shaping techniques, and work in the round in a quick and satisfying way. Clarence is extra-tactile, smooth and cute to hold and looks super sweet as either a decor item or a small soft toy. Have fun creating a truly unique heirloom that any child (or big kid) will treasure!
