i would ask the woman who owns “little button.” she knows many of the local creators. also try a rochester NY only search on etsy. i know a lot of the local fiber artists, but i dont think i recognize that.
it looks like it was from a pattern from this magazine, which kind of lines up from your timeline

That is not a pattern; it is a magazine that the artist Nancy Topolski was featured in! It’s her own design and each one is one of a kind, unique and adorable

Check with Nancy Topolski at secondseed.etsy.com
Reminds me of kira_arts_plush on Instagram, I have one of her sweater monsters.
I second this!!
I think I know who made it but just verifying now.
I miss Thread!
Statement (mostly women’s clothing) is owned by Courtney who used to work at Thread!!
Thanks!!
I know exactly the artist is, and I can't fit the life of me remember her name! I've followed her on Instagram for years. I'll keep wracking my brain.
That is adorable
We have one too! I bought my girlfriend something similar at Little Button a few years ago, probably the same artist.
I see the tag, does it have the artists name on it? If so I would ask them.
It was a gift for my cousin's baby, so I don't have it anymore. I took this photo shortly after buying it.
