Mr. Champus Bottulus – Free Pattern

Hope you all had a very lovely Christmas! I had a great time being back home and I actually don’t want to know how much weight I gained after all of this yummy Christmas food ;). Usually, New Year’s Eve is another event I’m looking forward to as I can bake again. Even though this year I haven’t been too lucky and now I’m sort of immobile (imagine a combination of an old woman while walking and a turtle which fell on her back while trying to get up ;)) which makes it a little bit difficult to stand in the kitchen and bake :( buuhhh :( So sadly nothing out of my kitchen for you but luckily I’m still able to grab my crochet hook which results in a new fresh pattern just off my hook for you :) Hope you enjoy my Mr. Champus Bottulus pattern and make one for your New Years Eve Party decoration :)
