These Tooth Fairy Pouches are great for kids that are starting to lose teeth and need a safe place to keep them until the Tooth Fairy visits! They can also help bring comfort to an experience that can also be scary for kids (like getting teeth pulled at the dentist). On the back of the Tooth Fairy Pouch, you'll find a perfectly sized little pocket where the teeth can be safely kept. The pocket is also large enough to put a small treat, some coins, or a folded bill, depending on what the Tooth Fairy's going rate in your home is (*wink).

Please note that all my patterns are written in standard American terms.

This is a raglan style cardigan which means it is worked from the top down all in one piece. The sleeves are added at the end. I only added one button to the top of the cardi but it would be super easy to add more. Luckily, the buttons fit through the holes created by the edging. Bonus! The Willow Cardigan should fit with a positive ease of 1-3 inches. This means it should be 1-3 inches larger than the chest of the child you are making it for.
