Tutorial and pattern: Beaver sock softie

I don’t know that I’ve ever looked at a sock and thought, “I should turn that into a beaver softie.” But then Joanne from Craft Passion went and created the cutest little beaver sock creatures and now I want to make some! Not only do they have adorable little beaver faces and little beaver tails, but they’re wearing hooded sweatshirts! She’s got a free pattern and tutorial showing how to make them.
