One of the most popular patterns I've seen is McCall's L9547, it's only available at Walmart. It's $5. I couldn't find it at either Walmart in my town, but my friend Cindi found it in her town 2000 miles away, so she bought a couple and sent me one. I've made one bear and one bunny - I just changed the ears on the bear from little round ones to big long ones, and then I made a poofy bunny tail out of minkee. The pattern is simple and fairly easy.
