Remarks

This project is working in continuous rounds, do not join or turn unless


otherwise stated.
Use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark the end or the beginning of each
round. Move the marker up every round.
All stitches are worked into both loops, unless stated otherwise in the pattern.
To change color, I worked to the last stitch of the round before the color change.
Yarn over, bring up a loop (two loops on hook). Instead of finishing the sc with
the color you were using, finish it with the new color.

Basic technique

Magic Ring : starting a piece with adjustable loop.


A magic ring is a way to begin crocheting in the round by crocheting over and
adjustable loop and then pulling the loop tight. The advantage of the magic ring
method is that there is no hole left in the middle of your starting round.
If you don’t want to begin this way then use these steps: chain 2 and crochet 6
sc into the first chain and then continue onto round 2.

Materials

This pattern can be made using any yarn you wish. Choose a hook size that
matches the yarn. If you want to increase or decrease the size of the bunny, use
the correct yarn type for your hook.
It is important to make tight stitches. For a nice and satisfactory result make
sure you use a smaller hook than usually recommended for your yarn. This way
you will get a fabric tight enough to avoid small stretching gaps between your
stitches once stuffed, and so the filling doesn’t pop out later.
For stuffing, they are many sorts of stuffing materials and the choice is yours.
For best results I recommend stuffing your project firmly, don’t hesitate to
overstuff as long as the yarn you are using allows it.

You can use:


▪ I Love this Yarn in Rosy Cheeks and White (I used 3.50 hook)
▪ Caron Simply Soft Yarn in Soft Pink (I used 3.00 hook)
▪ Size 3.00 and 3.50 mm hooks
▪ Fiberfill for stuffing
▪ Tapestry needle
▪ Stitch marker
▪ 10 mm safety eyes
▪ Soft pink yarn for the nose
▪ Scissors

The height of this bunny is 20 cm (8 inches) in the sitting position to top of the
head (not ears) and the arms' length is 20 cm (8 inches)
