Information:
Time to work: about 2-4 hours for each toySize: about 10cm (depends on yarn / crochet)
Materials:
These toys are great for using up leftover yarn as they do not require a lot of yarn. I prefer cotton yarn. Tie a bunny in any color, I used white. Select the correct crochet size for your yarn (use the smallest crochet size recommended for your yarn).
Suitable yarn: DROPS Safran – DMC Natura Just Cotton – Schachenmayr Catania- Dale Vipe
Hook: No. 2.0-2.5 (-3.0) mm
You will also need: ready-made eyes, filler (polyester), a needle and pink blush or something similar if you want to make a blush.
Abbreviations:
Arr – 2 sb are knitted in one sb
Ub – 2 sb are knitted together.
Stuff the details as you knit. Legs (handles) are sewn to the body at the end of knitting. Leave the long end of the thread after knitting and hide it inside the toy, cut off the end.
