Finished Toy Size: 12in/ 30cm
Plattie is the first “Aussie Mates” Funky Friend. He is also one of the SIMPLEST Funky Friends patterns so I always recommend this pattern for beginner toy-makers and for children. He is suited to most fabrics but I like making him out of fleece which gives him a warm furry feel! With his cute little upturned bill and squidgy body, he’s bound to get loads of cuddles.
RECOMMENDED FABRIC
The Platypus can made from MOST fabrics – The pattern will work well with both NON-STRETCH fabrics (eg. patchwork and quilting cottons and corduroy)and also with STRETCH fabrics (eg. fleece, stretch velour, chenille and flannelette.)

He is a simple pattern and will look great in all sorts of colors. You can use felt for the spots,or you can use up your scraps of light brown fleece! I like to keep things simple so I used squares for the spots, BUT I have also included some templates for giraffe-shaped spots - based on the spots of a REAL giraffe!
