New Grover Doll pattern!!!

Hey guys!!  I have a new FREE pattern up for you!!  My nephew LOVES Grover from Sesame Street and my sister wanted me to make him a Grover doll that he could take to pre-school with him.  I couldn't find ANY patterns online for him so I attempted to make one myself and I'm so pleased with how he turned out!!  Hope you enjoy too!
