Introduction
Meet the Bunny “Sunday Brunch”—a soft, pastel amigurumi bunny dressed in a blush beret, a peach cropped cardigan, a striped gingham-inspired dress with scalloped hem, canvas-style sneakers, and a tiny caramel crossbody bag finished with a waffle charm. This pattern focuses on clean proportions, gentle textures. Keep your stitches snug for the plush and a touch looser for the clothing to achieve the same drape and silhouettes.
Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.
