Who would’ve thought teddy bears love playing dress-up! This little one refuses to take her costume off, being the graceful butterfly she is.

This teddy bear is not difficult to crochet, but the small details do take some time and patience. 4-way jointed with moving arms and legs.

Includes one PDF file, 20 pages.
Pattern is written in English, using US crochet terminology. I included detailed instructions, many step-by-step photos and useful tips and tricks.
