I've started a discussion "What's Your Favorite Pattern?" I suggest that instead of using the comment wall, we add discussions. Otherwise it is harder to follow what has already been listed. I have added all the links below to the discussion.

Purchase pattern

I bought this years ago.  I made several table decors for gifts and individual gurumis for decoration.
Instead of felt I just made the extras crocheted.

Diana, if they like being outdoors, maybe you should try some hats, scarves, and fingerless gloves for them....

I don't have the url or link handy, but the Crochet Baktus is one of my holiday gift item this year.  My guys aren't fans of handmade, knit or crochet, they prefer store namebrand items.  Things the hunting, fish type stores sell. ie Cabelas  I've already tried sweaters(never to be worn),socks(ditto...never worn ended up sending to PRR along with the sweaters) bwg  Oh, I did crochet camo curtains for both and afghans and those items were actually used.  So I focus on the gals. I was thinking of making some holiday gifts for the local young children.
