    It's the perfect size for little ones to hold (without the treat). The pattern is easy to follow. The outcome is delightful. I haven't been disappointed with any of your patterns. I am not a new knitter but I am not a big time knitter either. I find these patterns very easy and understanding. And I just love the size.
