Free pattern: Flying Squirrel softie

How cute is this flying squirrel softie!! He was designed Abby Glassenberg from While She Naps, and she shares a free pattern at Wild Olive for making him. Made from fleece, he’s soft and huggable. And because his body is left flat (no stuffing), he’s also infinitely poseable. The construction is fairly simple and it should only take about an hour to make one.
