“Squeeze me!” says Basil Bunny. You’ll love to hug and
cuddle this adorable stuffed bunny rabbit. He’s the perfect
size for children large and small. Basil is made with just one skein of worsted weight yarn; this project is as quick as a
rabbit. Instructions are included for a solid tail if you prefer
not to make a pompom.
