About this pattern
Gumdrop is a grey koala with two big fluffy ears and a dark, oval nose. Pale grey on the tummy makes him look ready for a hug. The pattern is seven parts in three shades of grey, so it works up quickly. Pair him with a kangaroo for an Australian animal set.
It makes a sweet baby shower gift, a birthday surprise or a little shelf friend, and you are welcome to sell the toys you make from it.
