There are a lot of free toy patterns on ravelry.com...Spud&Chloe is great..also check out the designers Frankie Brown...and Midnight Knitter...(she has Blanket Bob and a little ghost that children love......I always have several of these very simple toys in my "go" bag.....they are great to hand out to frightened children visiting the oncology floor..) And keep in mind that designers sometimes put a pattern up for free that they once sold....

I don't have grandchildren to knit for, but I can see knitting blanket bob and giving it to the abused children charity I've been donating things too. And Julie, I think you're great to make these simple toys to give to scared kids at the hospital.
