10 favorite kid books and matching free softie patterns
If you’re looking for a special gift for a child, you can’t go wrong with a book and a handmade softie that looks like one of the characters in the book. Stephanie from Swoodson Says has rounded up 10 of her son’s favorite kid books and paired each with a tutorial for making a handmade softie that goes with the book. For example, she pairs the book The Pout Pout Fish
with a free pattern from While She Naps for making a fleece fish softie. Or Llama Llama Red Pajama
with a free pattern for a stuffed alpaca.
