The weeks are flying by so fast and it’s getting crazy lately. It’s the ‘end of school year’ time and I find myself juggling between so many kids activities in the past few weeks. I’m not a big fan of those ‘end of year’ parties and these millions parents meetings. I’m not very good at such social meetings to be honest. Sometimes I feel it’s a little too much for me. I’m a very homey and ‘small meetings’ kind of person. Thanks God I have this studio. Coming back to my little corner is always such a bliss. A quiet place to host my busy mind.Today  I’m  here  with  a free  crochet  pattern.8532I have so many plans and new ideas to share here with you and I always find myself in such a huge delay. I have a few pretty projects on my hook at the moment, which I plan to share with you soon. One of the things I plan to share here, is more of my Angie bunny clothing and accessorise. This is a free crochet pattern for a baby bunny dress. This bunny addiction is quite fun and there are so many more clothing and additional ideas that I want to share here. I finally found some quiet time to sit down and write a step-by-step dress pattern, a photographed one.8529So, are you ready for a new pattern today? After having the pretty in pink pattern for Angie, I think it’s time to dress up her little one now. I’ve created a step-by-step pattern for you, including pictures for almost every step. If you had the chance to crochet your baby bunny, you’ll be very happy with this one. This mini ‘Pretty in pink’ dress is an easy breezy project. It’s a comfy and removable bunny dress, with a tiny little fabric button at the back so it’s easy to take out. It’s a very fast DIY project. Let’s start with some technical info first.
