The Tiny Teddy Maker Bunny is a vision of “double cute” sweetness, featuring a soft pastel palette perfect for spring or a nursery. She is a creative soul, wearing a stunning patchwork knitted dress with alternating squares of soft pink, mint green, and light yellow. To keep warm while she works, she wears a crisp white Bolero jacket. Her outfit is topped with a playful beanie hat featuring two large, fluffy pom-poms. She wears matching mint green ballet flats. Always busy, she holds a miniature brown knitted Teddy Bear, while her faithful companion—a tiny white Dalmatian puppy—looks up adoringly at her latest creation.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.
