You can't have Canadian animal patterns without a moose. Their big noses are the cutest part in my opinion! The tiny ears have to be a close second, though.The antlers can get a little tricky, especially for beginners and if you're not used to working with chains, but don't let that deter you!

Ladybugs are a huge help in the garden, and cute, too! This one might not eat your aphids, but you can still make your own little garden helper with this pattern.

I based my marmot off the Vancouver Island marmot, but you can use this plushie pattern to make any kind of marmot you'd like! The Vancouver Island marmot is a super cute animal that is unfortunately critically endangered, so I'm hoping that this pattern will help spread the word about them, at least a little bit. Look them up when you take a break from crocheting, they're interesting little guys! For more Pacific Northwest native animals, try out my chestnut backed chickadee , or  harbour seal !

June is pride month! As you may already know, swans have been known to have same sex relationships (about 20-25% of them, in fact!), so let's celebrate by making a crochet one! Same sex swan partners will adopt cygnets from other swans and raise them as their own. This stuffed animal has a rainbow scarf to go with it! This is an alternate version of my free duck plushie pattern here , which also has a free Canada goose version here !
