Meet Sabina and Henry, Blinky the Bear’s cousins! Like Blinky, they are knit in one piece with the Magic Loop Method. Their finished size is approx. 18” tall worked with worsted weight yarn using the same techniques as the original Blinky the Bear. Sabina and Henry are safe gifts for all ages since their faces are embroidered and they have no loose parts including their clothing and shoes!
