Toopy & Binoo

So I LOVE this Toopy and Binoo pattern from The Whole Knit and Caboodle on Craftsy.

Best Buddies Duo Pack by Sarah Horrocks

The instructions are SO BEAUTIFULLY CLEAR and totally worth the $10 Canadian I spent on it. I've always struggled with *joining* colours neatly and this pattern even explains that, and I've since mastered it! There were some techniques in this pattern that I had never encountered before (the joining of the individual toes and fingers and attaching the arms to the sleeves) but everything was laid out so clearly that it didn't even matter that these things were new to me.

Basically everything you need to know about making these guys can be found in the pattern. It's one of the first patterns I've encountered online that I didn't need to change in some way or another!

Here are the pictures of the finished products I made from this pattern. I've been asked by a few people with kids to make these (apparently Toopy and Binoo are kind of a big deal!) and so far I've had some satisfied customers. I just love the way these work up.
