Embrace the free-spirited bohemian vibe with this “Boho Macrame Artist” Puppy pattern! Inspired by the popular boho-chic trends in Australia and the USA, this adorable Chocolate Brown Poodle is a master of fiber arts. With her fluffy textured ears and soulful eyes, she is ready to create beautiful knotted masterpieces.

She is dressed in a stunning Creamy White maxi dress featuring an elegant shell stitch pattern that mimics the texture of macrame knots. Layered over her dress is a stylish mesh cardigan adorned with long, flowing fringes. Her accessories are perfectly on-point: sandals decorated with wooden beads and a simple braided headband. To complete her studio look, she holds a miniature handheld macrame wall hanging and sits beside a lush potted pothos plant with trailing vines and a roll of cotton rope. This pattern is a celebration of creativity and cozy style.

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