Meet Oakley, the second character in my “Meadow & Friends” crochet series! This charming handcrafted bunny is Meadow’s good friend, always ready for adventure by her side. Standing at 27cm tall, he’s dressed in his little blue dungarees, cosy half cap, and holding a carrot, his favourite snack! With his playful nature and curious spirit, Oakley loves exploring the meadow, collecting carrots, and keeping Meadow company on sunny picnics. Every stitch is made with love, from his fluffy tail to his embroidered features, making him the perfect cuddly companion, keepsake, or gift.
