Here’s what makes this project extra special:

A quick make despite its size, thanks to chunky yarn and simple stitches.
-
Completely customizable — just add rows to make it longer or shorter.
-
Kid-friendly and teacher-approved as a silly, sweet, and memorable gift.
📏 Finished Size
The pattern is designed as one size, but is easily adjustable in length.

It’s big enough to use as a statement pillow, prop, or room accent—without being too cumbersome to handle.
