Lately I have been tickled with these super cute little pocket bunnys.
Just in time for Easter!
Materials:
yarn
knitting needles
little fiberfill
needle
1. Cast about twenty stitches. Knit with white for about 6-7 rows. switch to the "dress" color and knit about 12 rows.
( All my instructions are about, you really can't go wrong with few extra stitches or few extra rows.)
2. Using you needle , stitch eyes.
3-4.Continue with needle and gather top of the bunny's head , pull it tightly.
5-6.Take a little bit of fiberfill, fill in the head and sew it shut.
7-8.Create a neck by threading your needle along the color change.Pull it tightly.Knot the remaining threads.
9. Fill in the body and close it.
10. Stitch bottom of the body closed.
Attach limbs and ears.
If you want, you can crotchet few rows on the bottom of the dress to create more fluffy look.
Add eyes, nose and a bow to the head.
Who wouldn't love one of these in their Easter Basket?
Not a knitter?
please visit our Etsy Shop where you can find these cuties!
Super cute!!!! what yarn and what size needles did you use? thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteHi! I used Bernat brand Handicrafter cotton yarn for bunny parts are dress parts were scrap yarn from other projects. ( wooly socks and mittens mostly)
ReplyDeleteBernat Cotton calls for size 7 needles, I'm a "loose knitter" my stiches are funky, so I used one size smaller needles to make everything nice and tight .
You can really use almost any yarn for these. Just make sure that both colors are similar weight. Hope this helps!
