Moose - Free Pattern

-

You can't have Canadian animal patterns without a moose. Their big noses are the cutest part in my opinion! The tiny ears have to be a close second, though.The antlers can get a little tricky, especially for beginners and if you're not used to working with chains, but don't let that deter you!

This silly little goose has long legs for added cuteness! If you weigh down his bum, he'll sit politely on shelves or tables with his legs dangling over the edge.

Raccoons are one of the cutest North American animals, in my opinion! Some regions even have blonde ones that are super cute, too!
