(PATTERN INSTRUCTIONS only, NOT finished product). This moon bunny and stars baby mobile is the perfect project to decorate a baby room, as a baby shower or birth gift. You will learn the basis of amigurumis with basic shapes and simple stitches, and move on to more adventurous challenges with the stars and bunny amigurumi. Detailed explanation on how to assemble the mobile. A very complete project to dive into the world of amigurumis for a poetic nursery. You could also use the stars and moon for another sky-related project!
