Notes

An amazing assortment of yarn animals.
Realistic, yet, not complicated.

The elephant download, listed as errata on design page, has the stitch directions for all the animals, but not on how to do the seaming. One needs to know a little bit about folding and sewing all-in-one designs.

Made a bunch.

Issue:
Had to make a gusset for the chest area of the giraffe and impala/ deer.
