As a designer, I encourage the use of my finished patterns for charitable projects or by hobby sellers, provided you include my designer details alongside your creations. This way, we can share the joy of knitting while supporting good causes!

While gauge isn’t critically important, it’s essential to maintain a compact tension so that the stuffing remains hidden from view. This ensures that your gonks not only look great but also hold up well over time. For this pattern, I used a variety of popular yarn brands, including Robin, King Cole Moments, Hayfield, and Marriner yarn, allowing for a wide range of color combinations to suit your personal style.
