You don’t need to be Harry Potter to make the rabbit appear out of this hat.

What do you need? Scraps of any yarn, DK or Worsted, merino or cotton will work. Since it is a toy for a toddler, you might like to use a washable yarn. At least three colors are needed to make this toy. You will need approximately 50 yards of yarn altogether: A lighter color for the rabbit, and a darker color for the hat. You can use any complimenting color for the rabbit’s face, ears and tail. You will also need a bit of fiberfill for the rabbit’s head.

What skills are required to knit this toy? You need to be comfortable using double pointed needles. Otherwise the making of this toy requires knitting skills like knit, purl, increase, decrease, change of color, and I-cord. You will need to embroider the rabbit’s face, and you’ll pick up stitches to connect the rabbit and the hat.
