General Steps For Bunny
Body:
Using pink yarn, the pattern progresses from creating a magic ring to forming the body of the bunny, including increases, straight rounds, and decreases. Specific rounds include instructions for inserting safety eyes between rounds 12-13 and sewing on the nose at round 13.
Ears (Make 2):
The ears start with a magic ring in pink yarn, followed by increases and a series of rounds without increases. These are to be sewn on the bunny head between rounds 2 and 7.
Feet (Make 2):
Start with a magic ring in pink yarn, followed by increases and a few rounds without any increase. The feet are then flattened and sewn at the bottom of the body.
Tail:
Made in pink yarn starting with a magic ring and completed in a few rounds before being sewn to the bottom of the bunny's body.
Strap and Bow:
Both are made in red yarn. The strap is a simple chain with single crochet stitches, and the bow involves joining into a loop, followed by half double crochets to create the bow shape, which is then sewn onto the bunny.
Additional Notes:
- There's a tip regarding the body shape when using chenille or velvet yarn; it may appear oval during crocheting but will adjust once filled.
- For different sizes, adjust yarn and hook sizes accordingly.
- The pattern includes recommendations for video tutorials on basic stitches for beginners and specific parts like sewing the nose and creating the bow.
