Materials:
VARIANT 1 (for beginners):
* Yarn:
* Safty Eyes:
* 2 little buttons
• pins
V-Design:
The V-Design is used for the “rabbit version 2” when crocheting the body and
arms.
First crochet 1 sc in white, then pull up a loop with the blue yarn.
This started sc is completed with the white, not the blue, yarn.
In this picture you can see how this sc (at first blue, then white) looks
finished.
Now you crochet 1sc again in white. (Then you take the blue thread and
complete the sc with white yarn again)
V-Design (2w, 1b) means the same with the difference that between the blue
“V” there are always 2 white sc and not 1 white sc only.
Body:
If you crochet „rabbit version 1“, you need CL1 for the whole body. Please
ignore the colour instructions.
1. CL2: 6 sc in MR (6)
2. inc x 6 (12)
16. 66 sc (66)
24. 60 sc (60)
26. 54 sc (54)
29. 45 sc (45), put some fiberfill on the bottom of the body. Place the music
box on it. Turn the toy so that the drawstring is in the direction you want to
pull it. Use a sewing needle between the 16th and 17th round to pull the
drawstring to the outside.
31. 40 sc (40)
33. 35 sc (35)
Leg x 2:
If you crochet „Rabbit version 1“, you need CL1 for the whole body.
1. CL3 6 sc in MR (6)
2. inc x 6 (12)
8. 22 sc (22)
Arm x 2:
If you crochet „Rabbit version 1“, you need CL1 for the whole body. Please
ignore the colour instructions. Also crochet round 8 without FLO and don´t
crochet the round 9.
1. CL1 6 sc in MR (6)
2. inc x 6 (12)
13.-14. CL3 12 sc (12) (2 rounds), fill the tips with fiberfill Leave the yarn CL3
long enough to sew the arm opening together and then sew it to the body
Tail:
If you crochet Rabbit version 1 don´t crochet round 9.
1. CL1 6 sc in MR (6)
2. inc x 6 (12)
6. 26 sc (26)
8. (2 sc, dec) x 6 (18), place the plate, which is already tied to the drawstring,
into the crocheted hemisphere and continue to crochet. You can pull out the
drawstring of the music box so it‘s easier to crochet.
9. 18 sc (18), if the rabbit should not be a music box, then stuff now with
cotton wool
11. (dec) x 6 (6), Cut the thread and sew the opening very tight. Sew the
remaining thread. Instead of a small plate, a non-glazed wooden ball can be
attached to the string.
The knot must be very thick and tight and must never come loose, so that the
babies do not swallow the ball.
If you do not make a music box, then attach the tail in the middle,
approximately on rounds 11-14.
Head:
1. CL1 6 sc in MR (6)
8. 42 sc (42)
10. 48 sc (48)
24. 60 sc (60)
26. 54 sc (54)
27. (7 sc, dec) x 6 (48), now you should embroider the nose and attach the
safety eyes. The exact position follows on the next page. (If you want to
embroider the eyes, this will not happen until the head is completely finished –
instructions below)
28. (6 sc, dec) x 6 (42)
Cut the thread, pull it through the 8 stitches with the sewing needle and close
the opening. Sew in the end.
To get a better idea of the shape of the head and the position of the nose and
eyes, stuff the head losely with fiberfill.
The nose covers up the stitches of the magic ring (round 1). It’s wider on the
top, than on the bottom. All threads should run from top to bottom or the
other way round, not sideways or diagonal. The nose is finished when there is
no more of the brown colour shining through. Make shure the nose is not
wider or reaching up higher than the stitches oft he magic ring. This effects
the appearance oft he rabbit. Leave a long thread to sew on the eyebrows
later
Melt the back of the safety eyes with a lighter and press them flat. There is
also a video on
Please take care that the yarn does not catch fire !!!
A long needle and a wool thread in the color of the body is needed for this.
(The pictures here show a dog, but it is absolutely the same principle with the
rabbit
1) Enter where the neck will be. (It is about the height of the ears)
2) Go out with the needle to the right side of the right eye.
4) Go out with the needle down at the bottom of the head again – a stitch
apart from the starting thread.
5) Then skip a stitch and go into the head again and come out on the right
side of the other eye.
6) Go back on the other side of the same eye and get out on the bottom of the
head again, leaving another stitch between the threads.
Here you can see how the thread runs along the eyes. On the next photo you
can see how the thread comes out at the neck.
This last step is made at the very end when the head is finished: Now pull all
four threads at the bottom of the head at the same time to reach the desired
depth of the eyes. Make sure that the threads at the eyes, disappear under the
eyes and are no longer visible. Knot the threads at the bottom of the head as
soon as the desired eye depth is reached. Now the head can be sewn to the
neck.
Cut out 2 circles of 0.9 cm diameter from felt. Attach them about 0.5 cm
below the eye, slightly tot he back of the head, with a fitting sewing thread
(see picture).
If you do not have felt, you can apply real rouge on the cheeks or leave them
out.
Ear x 2:
If you crochet „Rabbit version 1“, you need CL1 for the whole body. Please
ignore the colour instructions.
1. CL1 6 sc in MR (6)
14.-15. CL2: 6 sc, CL1: 12 sc (18) (2 rounds) Leave a long thread and then cut
it off. Fold the ear on the bottom side and sew it together.
The ears are sewn onto the head between the 17th and 21st round with a
distance of 6-7 stitches. It is helpful to first pin them with needles and then
sew them on. Make sure your ears are facing tot he front and that the tips are
touching each other, like in the pictures on the next page.
To make the face even sweeter, the eyes must be slightly deepened in this
version.
The principle is the same as in the “rabbit version 1” – with a small difference:
(I purposely used a pink thread here to make it easier to see where the thread
is going – use the same color as the body for deepening the eyes)
1) Pierce where the neck will be. (It’s about the height of the ears)
About a stitch over the embroidered eye come out again and stab a stitch
further, so that the thread runs exactly over a crocheted stitch and turns
unnoticeable.
Directly one stitch further (along the eyelid) come out again.
And again a stitch further (along the eyelid) pierce, so that the thread
runs exactly along the crocheted stitches again.
The individual course of the pink thread does not have to look exactly
like this. The main points are: the thread runs along the eye and is
unnoticable on the stitches.
Come out again on the neck. Repeat this fort he second eye. Pull on all
4 threads until you get the desired depth. Make a Knot.
The head is sewn along the neck. It is important to make sure that the
drawstring is in the back.
Fix the arms and legs with pins, before you sew them on.
The legs are sewn over rounds 8-14. Just before a leg is completely sewn on,
fill it with fiberfill.
Scarf:
Crochet Hook 4.0
Crochet in rows.. That means, after each row, you have to turn the work.
It is advisable not to crochet too hard with this wool, so that it is easier to see
the stitches.
If you overlook a stitch here or there or crochet too much, it‘s not that
dramatic because you do not recognize the flaws with this wool. Of course
you should still try to make as few mistakes as possible.
10. In the second ch from the hook: 9 sc, turn the work
