Isn’t she lovely? Meet Bettie Badger…
All dressed up and ready to go, you'll love Erinna Lee’s adorable amigurumi character Bettie Badger!

Our beautiful badger will make the perfect gift for bridesmaids (or even the bride!) at autumnal weddings or peep out of your shoulder bag on a trip to Anthropolgie (she’ll fit right in). But be careful, little ones will really, really want one, so you might end up making Bettie, Belle, Bonnie, Brooke and Bea…
