nightwear, this cuddly companion would make a wonderful gift for the little one in

your life. Using a straightforward stocking stitch and super-soft yarn, even novice

WHAT YOU

NEED TO

KNOW...

This April, Pancreatic Cancer Action is

asking people to wear their pyjamas

to work or school. The goal is to say

goodnight to pancreatic cancer, the

cancer that has been kept in the

dark for far too long. Why not raise

awareness for this important event by

knitting yourself a matching bedtime

bunny? You could also create

personalised pyjama pals for your

friends and family. To access your

free Pjs for PanCan Pack, visit
