First go at one of these - he’s huge! I’ve still got a couple of legs to finish/sew up - it’s going to be fun trying to pack him up for the postman!

Oh Witzend- what a very creative lady you are!
Such talent to design and make something so lovely.
Well done!

It’s so nice to know where they’re going and how much they will help children in distress.

He certainly looks ready for hugs. Lovely. You GN knitters are so clever.

Wow! Fabulous!

blue14, somebody else designed the pattern - I honestly wouldn’t know where to start!
But thank you for kind words.

Making it up is the hard part!!

I can assure you that Huggalot is certainly going to get hugged a lot!

I love him! 😍

Before packing him up for the postman, I found that he could stand on his ‘feet’! 😂
