A Crocheted Bernie Sanders Doll Raised Over $40,000 For Meals On Wheels (PIC)
Tobey King crocheted this adorable Bernie Sanders doll and put it up for auction on eBay to raise money for Meals on Wheels and eBay is matching the winning bid amount.
This thing is too cute! I wish I knew how to crochet! Props to Tobey King of Tobey Time Crochet for using his craft to help those in need. According to WCVB-TV, Tobey’s Bernie doll, complete with those now famous mittens, ended up with 167 bids and the winning bid was $20,300. An eBay spokesperson said that the company would match that bid to “help support even more people in need.”
Tobey wrote in his Facebook post about the auction, “Hey mom, I used my super powers for good!”
If you know how to crochet, Tobey shared on Twitter that the Bernie doll pattern is on Etsy and Ravelry. I checked both, and the pattern will only cost you five bucks.
