Bright Ideas: Sunshine Tester Makes

The Sunshine testers showed up and fully understood the assignment ☀️ I always say patterns hit different once real crocheters get their hands on them, and this one is no exception. So many fun color choices, different eye designs, and personalities coming through in every single make. Huge thank you to this group for working through the pattern, giving feedback, and bringing these suns to life.
