Adventure Time was one of my favorite cartoons growing up. The show never failed to make me laugh and smile with all the witty jokes and hilarious moments in it. I especially love the art style of this show. It's just too charming and adorable!
With such memorable characters, I just had to make at least one of the characters in this show, and what better character than the hilarious penguin, Gunter!
Now you won't have to wish for Ice King to give you your own Gunter, YOU can now make yourself your own Gunter with this free pattern! (you just have to promise me that'll you'll take better care of him than how Ice King does ;) )
