Calvin and Hobbes

My neighbors have a baby named Calvin. It seemed only natural that I make a Hobbes doll to compliment the baby's name. I made the stuffed tiger version of Hobbes, instead of the imaginative version, because I thought it was more fitting to have a Hobbes and Calvin together in the 'real world'.

Like most of my patterns, I found this pattern online for free. The author of Calvin and Hobbes, Bill Watterson, did not believe is selling his work. Any of it. That's why you can't find any Hobbes dolls for sale in stores, and that's why the author of this pattern posted it for free. 

Here's the link to the pattern I used. The only difference in the pattern, is that I made the white belly oval larger. If I followed the pattern exactly on that piece, it would have been too small.
