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

Thanks to Fawn Pea for sending through the links to two endearing and completely soft and huggable, free knit softie patterns on her website: Cris the Star-nosed Mole and George the Octopus {image credit: both Fawn Pea}
Both of these softies are knitted and then felted. Instructions are very clear and easy to follow, and there are some great tips along the way also.
