So sorely tempted by this pattern!

Tempting, LRavenscroft, but TBH I’ve got too much ‘stuff’ already, inc. a lot of dds’ old soft toys, kept for the Gdcs when visiting.,
I know I’d get a great deal of satisfaction out of making them, but it’d be even nicer to think of them ending up with someone who’d really love them.

I know what you mean. I love crocheting blanket projects but all members of the family have one now so I make blankets as hugs for different charities. For me the pleasure is in making them. As the others posters have said, perhaps children elsewhere would treasure them. They really are cute!

Many charities would be happy to receive them. Either for raffles , sales or to give to children in need.

How about for refugee children?

How about a child in need at Christmas, the local school on my road were taking donations of new toys etc for orphans they would love to receive something like this for the younger children maybe churches / community centres might do something like that too 😊

Oh! They are adorable. If you feel passionate about them, why not make them for yourself?! I knitted a lovely Rupert Bear from an old pattern I found from decades ago and it gave me so much pleasure just to make.
