Benjamin Bunny is a faithful sidekick to his cousin Peter, helping him to get up to all sorts of mischief. His Tam O’Shanter hat is very distinctive, and his hankerchief is perfect for carrying Mr. McGregor’s carrots!
NOTES
Benjamin Bunny is made in the amigurumi method, working in a continuous spiral without closing off each round with a ss. You may find it useful to mark the first st of the round, moving the marker up as you work. Pieces are worked separately and joined together.
