Tiny Tulip Fairy (Reversible)

Thought this was cute. I started a more challenging version of this pattern, and I loved it so much that I wanted to share it with my peeps. I found a free one online (right-handed, of course).

* Choose your hair color, keeping in mind that the fairy reversed into a tulip; therefore, the hair color is also the center of the flower*

So begins the left-handed journey of the adorable Tiny Tulip Fairy.
