Introduction
Meet the Bubble Tea Streetwear Bunny—a soft, modern knit plush wearing a mint ribbed beanie (no topper), cream graphic tee with a pixel boba cup, sage cargo shorts with rolled cuffs, mint-and-cream sneakers, and chunky knit wristbands. A matching crossbody boba cup bag with “pearls” and a braided strap completes the look.
Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.
Form & Proportion Notes
- Overall height (standing): ~10–10.5″ (25–27 cm). Head-heavy cute ratio: head ≈ 40–42% of total.
- Head: Round-oval dome; widest circumference ≈ 17–18 cm once stuffed. Cheeks softly emphasized with extra stuffing.
- Ears: Upright, inner curve facing in; bases attached just behind beanie edge, with a slight forward tilt so ears lean into the hat.
- Face: Small black eyes centered mid-head; tiny chocolate-brown nose with short smiling mouth.
- Body: Gentle cylinder narrowing at neck; flat seat not visible when standing but adds stability.
- Arms: Slim tubes, lightly stuffed to the “hand,” upper arm left flexible for drape; positioned 1 rnd below neck.
- Legs: Short columns with shoe bulk at foot; stance just wider than hip.
- Sneakers: Rounded toe, contrasting cream foxing, mint uppers, i-cord laces.
- Clothing fit:
- Tee is boxy with rolled sleeves; hem sits over waistband.
- Cargo shorts sit mid-hip with knitted hem roll and side pocket textures.
- Beanie is snug rib with clean crown decreases—no white stem/topper.
- Accessories:
- Boba cup crossbody sits on left hip with mint/cream body, brown bobble “pearls,” and a braid strap of two i-cords twisted together.
- Fabric look: Dense toy gauge: 26 sts × 36 rows = 4″ (10 cm) in stockinette on 3.0 mm (US 2½). Work firmly so stuffing does not peek.
