Welcome to a whimsical project that captures the purity and cheerfulness of a sunny meadow. The “Daisy Puppy” is a heartwarming creation, featuring a golden-brown Cocker Spaniel with those signature long, drooping, textured ears. She is the embodiment of spring joy.

Her outfit is carefully curated to match her sunny disposition. She wears a pristine white flared dress, cinched at the waist with a bright yellow ribbon, featuring a unique crocheted hem that mimics round flower petals. To keep the breeze at bay, she layers a short, leaf-green cardigan over the top. Her accessories are just as delightful: yellow ballet flats, a white beret crowned with a massive daisy, and a matching daisy-shaped crossbody bag. To top it all off, a tiny, friendly bumblebee perches on her hand. This pattern is detailed and designed to bring this adorable scene to life.

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