This version Pocket Buddies is meant to help replace the Bee from Pocket Buddies No3. It has been completely reworked and includes an adorable little Skep.

The doll is worked flat like other Pocket Buddy patterns, includes several familiar techniques and a few new ones. The Skep is worked flat using super bulky (or two strands worsted) on large straight needles. The garter stitch pattern makes it easy-peasy to seam down the back. How to make a little mini version is also included.
