The Bunny Hoodie is a beginner friendly crochet hoodie that is so fun to make and super adorable. The pattern is worked top down all in one piece with the sleeves and hood stitched onto the sweater after the body is complete. Using only simple crochet stitches which include single, half double and double crochet, you will easily be able to memorise the stitch pattern. Two optional pockets can be added to the design and two bunny ears. This pattern is perfect for a baby or toddler gift. Leave off the ears and make it for an older child because it looks amazing in larger sizes as well. This pattern has very generous sizing to be worn as a jacket so if you would rather a tighter fit, I would recommend to size down.
