Sleeping Dress Up Bunny With Patterns For The Dress And The Tutu

This cute sleeping bunny toy can be made just by it’s self or you can make the dress and tutu so your little one can dress it up and change the style of the bunny. I also have two other patterns on my YouTube channel for this bunny they are crochet shorts and a crochet vest. While this pattern is available for free here on MummaJ Crochet, a PDF version is also available (low cost and print friendly!)
