9. (sc, inc) x6 (18)
10. (2 sc, inc) x6 (24) – sl st to join, do not FO.

• Loops: with gray, ch 5, sl st to handle tip; make 3–4 loops; secure with glue if needed.

Matcha Scoop (tan + E; 2.5 mm)

• Spoon bowl: MR 6 sc; FO.
• Handle: ch 7; sc back; join to bowl.
• Stitch a small green “matcha mound” in E: MR 5 hdc, pull tight and sew into the bowl. Hang from the lower tool loop.

Finishing Details (to match the photo look)

• Eyes: 8 mm placed exactly 10 sts apart; embroider thin eyelid lines with A and a single stitch highlight in white if desired.
• Nose: peach/pink oval; keep it small—about 3–4 horizontal sts.
• Cheeks: lightly brush on soft blush or use a strand of pale pink yarn to make one small horizontal stitch per cheek.
• Poseable hands: leave the last 3–4 stitches of palms slightly under-stuffed so the whisk/scoop sit naturally.
• Pinafore icons: surface stitch the matcha bowl on the bib; add a tiny clover or leaf near the skirt hem as seen.
• Left pocket should snugly fit the to-go cup; adjust pocket width before sewing if your gauge differs.

---

Customization Ideas (Still on-brand)

• Swap the strap to a removable crossbody by adding small button studs under the bib.
• Add micro “latte art” discs: leaf, tulip, and rosette (same disc base, different cream embroidery).
• Make a reversible beret by lining the inside with a second color panel, but keep the foam pom in cream.

---

Care & Safety

• This project is intended for display or gentle play. If gifting to small children, embroider eyes instead of using safety eyes and secure all accessories (or omit small parts).
• To reshape, steam lightly at a distance; never press flat.

3. Sew head to body, attach arms, sew tail. Dress the bunny.
4. Make beret + pom; put on at a slight angle.
5. Crochet shoes, add green button dots.
6. Create cup with strap, whisk, scoop, pitcher, and latte set.
7. Final touch: embroider bib icon and tiny leaves, tuck cup in pocket, hang tools on loops.
