Danger Crafts – Penelope the Empathetic Monster’s snuggly, huggable body makes her the perfect friend for anyone in need of cheering up. Knit up a couple of Penelopes to have on hand for sympathy, get-well soon, or just because gifts and you’ll end up wanting to keep them all for yourself!

A little bit about Penelope:

“Penelope feels strongly that all of life’s problems can be fixed with a big hug. She is a very compassionate monster and is always willing to sit and listen. Penelope works hard at finding the silver lining to every tough situation and is the most up-beat monster you have ever met. She loves daisies and sunny days and giggling for hours on end. She also really likes tea parties and rolling down grassy hills.”
