Little Pocket Muggins

This little fella can be
made in many colors and kids will love to carry them in a pocket so
that
can play with them while they travel in the car or even at home. Make
them
in different sizes with fewer sts. Make a whole family!
From a reader: "Dear Bev, I want to
thank you for the Pocket Muggins pattern. I have made hundreds of them
to be taken
to the local childrens hospital here in London, Ontario, Canada. They are really
welcome in the Oncology Dept. I knit them in
bright colours to put a smile on the childrens faces. Thank you once again
& God bless you! Shirley, a Yorkshire lass.
