Hop Along To Easter
28 02 2013
I found this adorable pattern on Pinterest and changed it just a bit. Really fun and easy pattern and the little bunny is done in a very few minutes.
You could decorate it for your easter brunch table, put it up the wall, window, door, cabinet, shelf...make a few for a mobile or a garland...also very cute year around in a nursery or kids room!
Who doesn' t like the company of a dear bunny, right?
You can find my inspiration here at Love the Blue Bird. Thank you for this great pattern!
And here is how I made it:
Again - I used fabric yarn - simply because I have so much of it and plus i really like it, too.
Start with a magic ring. I have always read about this magical ring thing in tutorials and finally looked it up on you-tube...
Make 6 single crochet stitches in that ring and pull the yarn ending - magic!
A perfectly nice ring!
Join with a slip stitch. I always marked the slip stitch with a little piece of thread so I knew when I finished the round.
Round 2:
Chain one - then 2 single crochet together in each stitch, join with a slip stitch.
Round 3:
Chain one - then one single crochet in the first stitch, then 2 single crochet together in the next one, repeat until round is finished.
Join with a slip stitch.
Round 4:
Chain one - then one single crochet, one single crochet, 2 single crochet (in one stitch), repeat until round is finished.
Join with a slip stitch.
Now comes the little head:
Somehow I miss pictures for that part - SORRY!
Chain one - then one half double crochet and a treble crochet in the next stitch, two treble crochet in each of the next two stitches, one treble crochet and a half double crochet in the next stitch.
There is your little bunny head!
Now - no additional chain - just start going around with slip stitches until the first treble crochet on the other side.
Chain 7 for the first ear.
Make a half double crochet in the second chain from the hook and then 4 treble crochet.
Slip stitch in the third treble crochet from the head and then chain 7.
Make a half double crochet in the second chain from the hook and then 4 treble crochet.
Slip stitch in the sixth treble crochet from former round - leave a bit of tail - cut and pull your yarn right thru.
NO additional slip stitches here.
Take your ending and weave those holes close. With this fabric yarn I just use my fingers to do that and place a knot when finished.
Now decide on a little bunny tail to add.
I actually like the simple floppy one best 
Plus - it is so much less work than a bobble...

Happy Hopping Day,
