US English pattern by Kurumi. Includes step-by-step pictures.

DON, THE ELEGANT TREE, is the fifth character in my Matundas collection. The Matundas are beings created by a sorceress, called Amal, from her favorite plants and fruits.
The Matundas live in community, in a small secret town in the middle of a forest that has not yet been touched by humans.
Don loves his job, which consists of making socks, scarves, clothes, blankets —and whatever is needed in his community— with the help of his needles and his crochet hook. He also spins and dyes fibres to make his own yarn for knitting and crocheting.
Don is loved in his community thanks to his healing hugs. Whenever someone feels sad, the best medicine is to visit Don to receive one of his hugs...
