About this pattern

It’s been said that if you love your job, you’ll never truly work a day in your life – and Carl the Construction Worker here couldn’t agree more.

Jumping out of bed every morning with a smile on his face, he pulls on his denim dungarees, straps on his toolbelt, and grabs his trusty hammer before skipping out the door. When it’s time for a well-deserved break, there’s nothing like a simple cup of builder’s tea to really quench his thirst. Allow your own little helper to get involved by asking them to select the outfit colours and facial features – potentially add a pair of spiffy glasses or even a cool moustache!
