According to Becky, these Summer Travelers “are around 9″ tall. They are perfect to snuggle with, laugh with, and to show the world too. They love to be tucked into bags, blankets, suitcases, and little people arms. They find the world facinating and want to see and experience it all.“.

Okay, these can’t really qualify as softies but they are too cute not to post up (and they are based on Soto Softies’ softies anyways):

Problem is . . . it’s not real! It’s made of felt. Simply amazing. And it’s not hard to put together. American Felt and Craft provides the template and instructions for this delicious felt creation - all you will need is felt, thread, glue, and felt balls.

I previously linked to a free pattern for a chipmunk softie made from the “Happy Gloves” book by Miyako Kanamor. Miyako also published a book called “Sock & Glove“, which provides step-by-step instructions on how to turn socks and gloves in to lovable softie characters.
You can now find the free pattern and instructions for the dog AND the bunny from the book on the Martha Stewart website:

Great step-by-step pictures and instructions. And a clever way to recycle socks and gloves of course
