I absolutely love Hello Kitty, which is why it's a total no-brainer that I would try and make a pattern (and fill my house with these fun little plushies) so, here you are, a fun little pattern for a very kawaii kitty!
You can customize this pattern in so many different ways! Want a zombie themed Hello Kitty? Change the color of the skin and leave off an ear! Do you want a winter themed Hello Kitty? Try making the dress blue and instead of a bow, make a snowflake! It's so fun to see just how many different kinds of Hello Kitty you can make! I can't wait to see all your variations, so be sure to tag me on Instagram with your finished creations!
