I’m absolutely smitten with this pretty mother and baby bunny set made using the large and small Blossom Bunny patterns.ĭownload the free PDF ePattern for Blossom Bunnies and dress in A4 size HERE.ĭownload the free PDF ePattern for Blossom Bunnies and dress in letter size (USA) HERE. so I’ve added the medium and small sized bunnies and a new simpler dress pattern. Now a few years down the track, I’m answering a request for different sized bunnies…. The first Blossom Bunny came with extra patterns for a dress and shoes. The large Blossom Bunnies have been quite popular and I’m always excited to see others using my free pattern to make their own. While they are not exactly the same, they do still ooze that lovely simple Scandi style that I love. Unfortunately, they were hard to get in Australia, so I resorted to making a similar version of my own. I had long admired the gorgeous Danish designs from Maileg and in particular, their rabbits. Almost three years ago I released my first Blossom Bunny pattern.
