I’m going on a bunny hunt but I’m not afraid;
I’ve got my trusty stick,
and my Grandma at my side

A fluttering of butterflies adorn the top of this softly gathered dress. Wide elastisized I-cord straps and a deeply ribbed back yoke help to keep this dress in place.

Bunny Hop is knit circularly in one piece from the top down. The yoke features butterfly stitch accents on the front and is ribbed on the back. Instructions are included for the elasticized I-cord straps which will stay in place as your little one searches for bunnies under the shrubs.
