Have you ever tried bubble tea before? It is a truly delicious tea-based drink that originated from Taichung, Taiwan in the early 1980s. If you google bubble tea, you will be able to see a wide variety of flavors ranging from milk tea, honeydew, peach, and even coffee. Besides the amazing flavors, one of its trademark toppings are the boba which are yummy chewy tapioca pearls.
Since boba is my favorite topping in bubble tea, this yummy tapioca inspired me to share a free pattern with you! Today I wanted to introduce you to Bonnie Boba! Bonnie is the type of friend who will bring you happiness on days that you are feeling a bit down and matches your glee on days where you can conquer the world! She is truly the best companion and I wanted to share a pattern that can bring so much joy to anyone who creates her.

Body
Starting at the top of the head, using your black yarn:
R1) Work 6sc into a magic circle [6]
In R2-R5 you will be working on increases
R2) 2sc in each st, *6 [12]
R3) 1sc then 2sc in next st, *6 [18]
R4) 1sc in next 2st then 2sc in next st, *6 [24]
R5) 1sc in next 3st then 2sc in next st, *6 [30]
R7-R8) 1sc in each st for 3 rows [30]
Safety eyes are placed in between R6 & R7 with about 5-6 stitches between them.
In R9-R12 you will be working on decreases
R9) 1sc in next 3st then 2tog, *6 [24]
R10) 1sc in next 2st then 2tog, *6 [18]
R11) 1sc in next 1st then 2tog, *6 [12]
At this point start stuffing and shaping the body with the stuffing
R12) 2tog in the remaining st, *6 [6]
Next you are going to f/o, leaving an approximate 5 inch tail which you will use to weave in & out of the remaining stitches, pulling tightly to close the small gap. Then you will knot off and hide the tail inside the body. Using white string, you can work on creating the nose and mouth, making it into a cute T shaped.
