Imagine a Hat could do all that…
This is a downloadable PDF knitting pattern
Inspired by the lovable characters in The Wind in the Willows, each Imagine Friend has a number of different features which are mostly knitted in stocking stitch-a very small feature of Muse the Mole is knitted in garter stitch. With Tilia the Toad you will start with her feet. The rest of the gang start at their ear flaps, working up the head and decreasing to shape the crown. The features are knitted separately, sewn together then attached to the head. Some of these features are then stuffed with toy stuffing which will give each of them a fantastic 3D effect.

What We're Reading
The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame
This book has always had a special place in my heart. I love this beautiful classic! Growing up near the New Forest I loved exploring the woods and even now that is where I go with my dogs to get away from it all. The illustrations are beautiful and immerse you into the funfilled stories played out in the book. So be brave with Muse the Mole and set out for new adventures. River the Rat can help you as you relax along the riverside. Bartlett the Badger can accompany you as you venture into The Wild Wood and Tilia the Toad can get into all sorts of mischieve and madness.
