    Free Pattern – Hugging Tree

     Celebrate the "tree huggers" in your life today, by making them this cute little tree to hug! The pattern is designed in Lion Brand Vanna's Choice yarns, which I received free from Lion Brand for this project. It's squishably soft and durable, and the tonal Taupe Mist colorway adds a great textured look to the trunk. If you prefer to use natural fibers, Lion Brand's 24/7 Cotton is a great choice as well!
