US English pattern by Janine Holmes at Moji-Moji Design. Includes step-by-step pictures.

Hamish’s favorite treat is a punnet of strawberries. During the summer months he often visits the local farm to eat as many as his tummy can hold. When he’s had his fill he hoards a few away in his roomy cheek pouches and scampers back to his cage to bury them in his bedding - just in case he feels the need for a midnight snack. If he feels like a change of diet there are also instructions to make him a tasty blueberry or a nice crunchy carrot.

Detailed written instructions and complimentary photos are included to help you along the way to making a little hamster of your own all ready to much his way through your fruit bowl!
