What I made with this yarn!
The pattern I used is designed by Antonina Naimonova, and her store on Etsy is ToyStoryPatternsAU. I bought this pattern because I wanted to make a puppy for my friend's kiddo for Christmas, and here it is!! I messed up on one of the bottom paws and made it too long somehow, however it still looks okay. The pattern instructions were very easy to follow and I didn't have much trouble putting all the pieces together.
