Tutorial and pattern: Bunny, cat, or bear softie

This softie pattern is made for giving! Cintia from My Poppet has designed it for the Make It For Giving theme at Spotlight for National Crafting Month. You can make it into a bunny, bear, or kitty. They’re all super cute, but being a crazy cat lady I know which one I’d make first. 🙂
