This version has slightly different proportions to the original blanket- due to the differing tension for this yarn.
I like it, but the blanket does not have the “body” and shape of the first tweed version,this is baby yarn- much softer than standard DK.
I’ll go back to my old favorite for toys - Stylecraft Special DK for the next one.
Yarns
Needles & Hooks
Single Point 4.00mm (US 6) 25cm
Measurements
Size 33cm/13” long x 33cm/13” wide cm
Notes: The length was slightly less than one made with the recommended yarn but it was not a problem, There was more than enough yarn left over to knit it longer if I had wanted too.
Love them!!!
My niece wants these for her "babies" when she gets round to that sort of thing!!!
Agree that the original yarn holds the shark shape better.
Where can I find the pattern for Jesse doll, thanks?
Hi,great to hear your niece likes these. As Jesse and Josie are best friends you can find the first pattern I wrote for both of them here.

If you pop Jesse and Josie in the pattern search you can also see their bedtime and hiking sets ( both come with the doll pattern :) )
I hope you enjoy making Jesse and maybe his best friend too!
@Claire Fairall Designs:
Thanks Claire. Have a few things on the go at present but I can see several "wee" projects for some point in the future and looking forward to them.
