Insert safety eyes and nose:

Insert the nose between rows 14 and 15 as close to the middle as you can get.

Insert the eyes between rows 16 and 17 on either side of the nose, leaving 4 stitches between
them.

Attach the two panels:

There are a couple of ways to attach the two panels.

For a more defined look as shown in purple above, you can attach yarn with a slip stitch to the
outer edge of one panel and do a round of sc around the outside. Repeat for second panel
(80-85 stitches) and then follow the steps below to attach the two panels together. However, an
almost identical look can be achieved by skipping this step and crocheting the panels directly
together as shown in blue and multi below. It is up to you how you want to complete this bunny!

Place the two panels on top of the each other, with the backs together and eyes facing up.
Insert hook just to the left of the starting chain on the top panel (base of bunny), making sure to
go through both panels. Attach yarn with a slip stitch and sc in the same stitch.

Continue to sc around the entire bunny, taking care to keep the panels lined up and stuffing as
you go. Keep your stitches close and as evenly spaced as you can. Depending on yarn, you
should have around 80-85 stitches. Sl st into your first stitch, break yarn, fasten off, weave in
end.

That’s it! You’re done! Enjoy your new peep!
