This is really cute! I saw your dog outfits with the tutus as well ~ super cute! I grabbed your button!
Oh thank you so much for the pattern - it is so cute - I make lots of water bottle and cup cozies and this has never even crossed my mine - I will be making up lots of these for my childrens classmates (since they bring bottles of water to school so they dont have to leave the classrooms to go to the water fountains)
they are going to love love love them!! ;-)
really a nice one.thanks a lot for sharing.
Thanks for the pattern. It was very clear and easy. Came out really cute.
What yarn did you use? I've been searching for sock monkey yarn.
I use Vannas Choice, Taupe mist yarn. There is also a Jiffy yarn that is similiar, but I think its scratchy.
Thanks again for sharing your pattern Sara! :D Here's a link to the roundup it's featured in: http://www.mooglyblog.com/10-free-crochet-sock-monkey-patterns/
Thanks Tamara! I love Moogly's blog!
