Hamsters are undeniably adorable! What makes them cuter? When they’re dressed up for the season! Instead of fruit or a seed, this hamster is snacking away on an acorn and sporting a cute fall hat. He even has little toes, which is by far my favorite part of this pattern! Did you notice his adorable ears poking out the hat? This pattern is easy to do and each piece is fairly quick to make.

Let’s get started!
