I'm excited to share with you my sweet, little fairy doll design! Meet the Woodland Leaf Fairy, an adorable fae that is quick and easy to crochet.
This shy faerie lives deep in the woods. She has long, red hair, a forest green dress, a pair of magical butterfly wings, and two headpiece accessories to choose from – a leaf crown and a flower crown. Doesn't she look adorable in both the leaf and flower crowns?
This fairy makes a lovely gift for young girls and children who adore mythical, fantasy, and fairytale creatures. Adults with a penchant for folklore will also love this cute and whimsical design. She's such a dainty, little thing!
