Happy Tuesday my fellow crafters!
I’m thrilled to introduce a new little friend to my amigurumi collection — meet Bianca!
Bianca is an avid reader who loves to spend her time at the library, completely immersed in a novel. With her tiny book in hand, she’s sure to inspire a love for reading in everyone she meets. I can’t wait for you all to meet her and follow her literary adventures!!
I'll be sharing for free the crochet instructions to create the cute little Mouse here below. If you want to crochet the BOOK as well,
