Notes

General
Changed my mind about clothes colours halfway through knitting the bodies and decided to make them proper Easter bunnies dressed in yellow, green, and purple.

Bodies: Ecru, leggings: Dark Apple, underskirt: Sunrise, dress: Aubergine, shawl: Sunrise & Dark Apple, bow: Aubergine

Knit bodies with 2.25mm needles and all clothes with 2.5

Polyfill from my stash

Mods

  • using backward-loop increases instead of kfb,
  • used five needles instead of four when knitting body,
  • stopped before last decrease round on face,
  • used four needles instead of three when knitting arms,
  • knit all of leggings with larger needles, using five instead of four for body and four instead of three for legs,
  • knit skirt with five needles instead of four, made 2 r longer, ended with 3 r k2p1 rib instead of garter,
  • knit body of dress on five needles instead of four, knit body one more row stockinet increasing 1 st, ended with 3 r k2p1 rib, knit sleeves 2 more r stockinet and only 2 r rib,
  • wanted shawl much smaller so CO 7 st and started immediately with second set of encreases (without bothering with the set-up r), knit repeats a total of seven times with MC and once with CC, used ordinary elastic BO purlwise,
  • knit them bows from "Some Bunny Loves You" Knitted Wall Art instead of bonnets.
