The idea started when I would get questions about turning my backpack plush patterns into a big cuddle plush. And it definitely works, especially if you use the belly pocket to store weighted beads or a heating pad. But it always made me want to design something with a better body shape and pose, since the backpacks have a very wide, flat body to maximize storage 😅

So what better way to warm up for the rest of the (northern hemisphere) winter than with this cuddly plush that comes with matching hooded pajamas! It has a belly down pose and you can fill the arms and legs with poly pellets for a nice weighted feel. At about 16″ long (20″ for the dragon), it’s a great size for flopping on your chest for snuggles.
There are 5 animals you can make, though it’s definitely adaptable for more! Included is a fox, tiger, rabbit (or jackalope), dragon, and unicorn. The pajamas zip up in the front and have openings for any wings or tail (or a really big tail, like the dragon), and slots in the hood for horns and ears.

As usual, the pattern comes with applique templates for the different eyes and body markings. But if you have an embroidery machine, you can buy the embroidery files separately. I hope you’ll give it a look, and I hope they’ll get to join you in some pajama parties!

Thank you everyone for an amazing 2022 and for all your support and love! 💖 I couldn’t be making all these fantastic designs without your input and encouragement. I hope you all have a wonderful and prosperous 2023!
