I just wanted to say thank you for all your free patterns, they are just the cutest and I’m going to make this bunny next. I have made so many of your free patterns and cannot say how much I enjoy making them and the instructions are really easy to follow. When there is a video, even better. I have been crocheting for a little over a year now and love your patterns. Some of them I have made using the chenille yarn even though the pattern calls for sport weight and they still come out so adorable. Thank you!!
