St Jude and Nurse Chansey

DSC_7991

In November we did a Gotta Stitch Em All Stream to make a Nurse Chansey for St. Jude. It took a few days and we had so much fun, but also raised over $250 for St. Jude! So here’s your official Chansey pattern. Thank you all so much for hanging out and making the cutest little nursey lady!

  1. Simple pattern to follow, I love my little Nurse Chansey! She sits on my shelf, taking care of all my other creations until they get adopted. ♥ Can’t wait to see more patterns from Hare!

  2. This is so adorable. Going to make for the nurses at our hospitalto relieve stress.
    Thanks so much for the pattern

    1. It will depend on your gauge and yarn choice, but she should be around 6-8 inches tall with the same hook and similar yarn.
