It’s another beautiful day here in the UK and there is absolutely nothing better on a hot day than a cold can of something refreshing. So I designed this little cutie to stop your fingers getting cold and wet from the condensation on the can. Its a really quick make and is great for using up scraps. I’ve also got plans for making some holders featuring other animals so if there are any in particular that you would like to see, let me know!
You will need:
-pink DK yarn
-small amount of black DK yarn to embroider the nostrils
-4mm hook
-small safety eyes
-toy stuffing
