Introducing Lenny the Lichen!
This cute woodland creature was inspired by a playful doodle I sketched some time ago. Dressed in a red polka-dotted mushroom hat, cozy overalls, and a cape to fend off the autumn chill.
Lenny enjoys nothing more than snoozing in piles of fallen leaves and splashing in muddy puddles.
Lenny is knitted flat and seamed. Please note: you are buying a PDF knitting pattern - not the actual toy.
