Each of these little animals are quick to knit little mascots, or could be used as pincushions. The pattern includes four animals: Cat, Puppy, Mouse and Owl.

Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the toys are knitted in acrylic aran yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). Each of the animals use the same head and body pattern but are worked in different colours. The animals are knitted on single pointed needles; the crochet hook is used only to make the single crochet chain collars and the mouse’s tail.
