As you can see, he looks really cute without the scarf, so it’s not necessary. But he also looks awful cute with it.

Just a note here. I used Red Heart Soft for Randall because I wanted him to be soft and cuddly. As you can see, Red Heart Soft has quite a bit of stretch to it so it may leave gaps in your work. You can minimize this by using a smaller hook and making sure your stitches are really tight. Or you could make him using a different yarn if you’d like.

Keep an eye out for my Marty the Moose pattern. The two of them are so cute together.

I hope you enjoy this pattern! You’re welcome to sell items that you make using my patterns, as long as you don’t post the pattern anywhere else, and link back to my page if you’d like to. If there are any mistakes, or something is unclear, please feel free to message me on Facebook.
