Swaddle Pals 2
Swaddle Pals Vol. 2 is here. This is a sweet little collection of characters that are fairly simple and quick to make. Vol. 2 includes a Koala, Puppy, Piglet, and Bluebird, and their squishy garter swaddles. It’s a good assortment if you ask me. The Swaddle Pals Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 make the best gifts around for anyone who loves a charming handknit toy. Each toy contains a tiny rattle insert which is great for little ones, they love it, but of course, this is optional.
As I said last time, gifting, keeping, loving, squeezing, shaking, wrapping, unwrapping… Swaddle Pals are the epitome of simple toy-knitting fun. More to come!
