Russell Rat Downloadable Pattern

This is a downloadable pattern. Downloads are sent immediately after purchase.

What a cute rat! That's not a statement I ever thought I'd make. I used to work in a place infested with very large, very fearless rats - and I've never thought of them as cute.

But I saw lots of cute rat illustrations when folks were celebrating Chinese New Year, and I know lots of people have pet rats - so I thought I'd join in the fun.

It turns out rats can be cute! For extra, extra cuteness, take a look at the glasses and bowtie (from the Fancy Doodads pattern) that Sally added to hers!

With detailed instructions, step by step photos, and video tutorials, this versatile pattern is easy enough for beginners.

Use it to make quilts, pillows, wall hangings, tote bags and more!
