Cuddly Jamie
"The Cuddly Jamie crochet cat rag doll pattern is a perfect companion for the kiddos! Cuddly Jamie can easily be packed into your bag for an adventure, or laid next to you for nap time. This beginner-friendly pattern is an easy weekend project. One of the stresses I’m keenly aware of for new crochet toy makers (and even experienced ones) is getting everything to line up and look cute. I know that folks aren’t necessarily toy experts and that’s how the idea for a cat rag doll took shape. Rag doll style crochet toys are a bit more forgiving, they need less stuffing, and overall they are more beginner-friendly projects."
