Who needs patterns? If I have a pattern to begin a project, I can adjust it to make it into my own. It is easy and fun. I have started with a yolk and made my own design for the body. I had a pattern for the new "Cuddle Sacks" for infants. I readjusted it and now have one for a preemie. Check out the picture! Isn't it cute?
