Christmas Whales
This Christmas Whale pattern bundle is fun, cute, and fast. There are 5 different whale options included.
Some options are low-sew, while some are entirely no-sew.
With Himalaya Dolphin Baby, it will stand between 5-10cm tall, depending on the whale you choose to make. It’s great for scrap yarn since it doesn’t use much, and great for last-minute gifting or market prep.
You’ll need some yarn, 12mm safety eyes and stuffing.

Christmas Chickies
These cute little chickies are perfect for brightening up your Christmas – or for that last-minute market prep!
They take about half an hour to work up; so, they’re quick and cute!
They end up about 5-10cm in size, though if you use bigger yarn/a bigger hook, they can be double that size.
This pattern will work with cotton, DK, chenille, velvet, or blanket yarn, but you might have to adjust where you place the wings.
You only need a splash of each colour for this pattern, so it’s great for stash-busting!
