Enjoy this free knitting pattern for creating your own beanbag bunny blobs - knit one or make a bunch! Created in garter stitch using only knit stitch, increases and decreases, these bunnies work up in a few hours and are a fantastic project for beginners.

The finished plush is able to easily stand on its own due to the addition of dried beans in the base, which add weight and stability. Any worsted weight yarn will work well with this pattern, which is great for using up small amounts of leftover yarn.

SIZE
Approx. 16.5cm (6.5 in) tall

MATERIALS AND TOOLS
• Worsted weight yarn of your choice
• A small amount of dark-coloured yarn or embroidery floss to embroider the eyes
• Polyester toy stuffing

• Tapestry needle
• Dried beans (I suggest black turtle beans or something similar in size)
• Fabric (this will be used to make a small beanbag that will fit inside the plush)
