It’s the crocheted chum you never knew you needed until now!
How adorable is this little fella? Looking super relaxed and ready to begin a box-set binge, this slovenly spud by HANNAH COOPER has his own sofa complete with fur-edged cushions. We’re envious!
He’d make a cheeky gift for someone who loves to watch TV. The sofa pieces are worked separately in rows with shaping on each corner, so read the instructions through carefully first.
