Free 'Hey Duggee' Crochet Patterns

Hello!  Our summer break began last week and we've been off on the first of many legs, visiting family around the country.  First leg was to my identical twins for a few days.  She has two boys of similar ages and dispositions to mine so it's always super easy.  On unpacking the car they saw this very beautiful bag - it was hand sewn by an epic friend (go find her at Sky Meadow Bakery, she's an exceptionally talented baker too!), and I always use it to carry my yarn about with me.

Them: "What's in that bag Aunty Em?"
Me: "Wool"
Them: "Ooooh, so ANYTHING?!"

Each nephew had a request, actually one nephew and an identical twin had a request, so by the end of the hols, these scrap-yarn, 'Hey Duggee' characters were left behind and tucked in to various beds.

The shorthand versions of the patterns are on the pics, but here are the longhand versions too (using US terminology).
