Used Materials: Hook 5,5 mm (I) and local yarn Saskia (WIBRA), a 8 ply DK yarn.
For the bears I used 2 strands of chenille and 3 strands of boucle. The cat is made from 3 strands of
soft `angora` acrylic.
Left over ribbon. You could also crochet, knit ore sew a bowtie.
When you make a bag instead of a blanket you could also use wobbly eyes or buttons.

If you need a certain size, decide in this last round what you need. A round of dc(sc), htr(hdc) or

I needed a round of htr(hdc) to make a 6 inch square.

The Funny Face
Start with the mouth (black).
Begin and end with a long tail, you need these tails to make the eyes.
Begin between 2 tr(dc) of round 3. See the chart and the photos. This should be exactly half way the
right side of the square. Work 12 stitches to the left and end exactly half way the left side of the
square, dont forget to leave a tail.











You make these stitches by holding the thread UNDER the square and pulling out the yarn at the
right side with your hook. You should get chain stitches that lay on the surface of the square.

make 5 stitches over two tr(dc), all in the same place.

noose to mouth.







Make a twinkle in the eyes with a little piece of with yarn (French knot).
