Colin is a very silly little sausage with a very serious job to do. While traditionally his kind would hunt badgers and rabbits, Colin’s job is to protect his owner from the postman as well as any furry or feathered intruders that may dare to invade his garden. This makes for very exhausting work indeed. In his free time he enjoys playing with his toys and draping himself around his owner’s neck like a scarf.

This pattern includes step-by-step images and written instructions.
