It's the little things in life....A Cricket

 Looking for hope in the little things of life – this pattern came about to coincide with major events that rocked the world this year, namely Covid 19 pandemic year two, the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan and subsequent overtake by Taliban, and the 20th anniversary of 9-11.

Crazy times call for crazy creative endeavours, and I'd just watched a series of all the fairy tales (in lockdown) and spotted this little character, which inspired me to see if I could make something like it! I call it 'Dapper Cricket', but you can call it what you like - just not out loud!

Dapper Cricket stands at 17 inches tall, and is all cloth but for his hat. The pattern is 19 pages long with plenty of step-by-step photos to guide.

This pattern could be any gender dressed in many different ways! It could even just be a green grass hopper! Imagine!

Give a little whistle - and always let your conscience be your guide!

Times like these, you need someone to talk to! Dapper Cricket is qualified
