A sweet little squirrel is hard to resist, and with Simone Gooding’s cute squirrel softie pattern, you can create your own version, complete with embroidered nose, decorative ribbon and novelty or vintage button for embellishment.

• Full materials list included in instructions
• Pattern sheet included with all of the shapes needed to create your own version of this pattern
• Have fun selecting your fabrics – you can choose more realistic squirrel-coloured fabrics, or opt for a cute fabric print for the tail like with Simone’s version, where she used a woodland-themed print fabric and soft pastel for the body
• Satin stitch is used to embroider the nose
• Detailed step-by-step instructions and colour photographs take you through all the steps from cutting your fabrics, construction and completing with embellishments
• Makes a great soft toy for a child, but not suitable for children under the age of three due to potential choking hazards
• A great pattern for beginner-level crafters looking to try out softie and doll making
