This is Gonzo. He's my version of Gonzo, anyway. :-) My brother and sister and I all love the Muppets, and Gonzo is Heidi's favorite. Mom has a puppet pattern, so, years ago, I started making this little guy as a Christmas present for Heidi. Many hours later, post-Christmas, I finally got his body done . . . then pants . . . then found little baby sneakers for him at a garage sale . . .
But he sat in her closet, shirt-less, for the last couple of years.
He's finally clothed! I knit up a little sweater-vest this winter with some leftover yarn. I found a basic pattern for an American Girl doll sweater online (but I don't remember where) and just added some length. It has a 3/4 opening in the back with a snap-closure, and I'm so glad it fits! Gonzo is finally complete! :-)
