Piper the Pixie || Creator Challenge Intro
Dear fellow crocheters,
Welcome to Sweet Softies' third annual Creator Challenge, featuring Piper the Pixie! She's the perfect amigurumi doll to make during this uniquely crazy, shelter-in-place time because she will surely bring some magic and smiles to your home!
She is very excited to meet all her sisters (and maybe brothers!) very soon. Interested in making one of her siblings? Read on for the FREE pattern, rules, and important information pertaining to this Creator Challenge!
You can also PIN this pattern for later!
