Meet Buster the Easter Bunny! He’s knit in the round on double pointed needles, split in two to create the ears, and cinched closed with the cast on and bind off tails. His serene little facial expression is 3 simple duplicate stitches in 2 different colors of yarn and his tail is a tiny pompom. His bow tie is knit flat n seed stitch and then cinched around his neck. I hope he will bring a little whimsy to your knitting needles (and your Easter baskets!)

What you will need:
13 yds (12 m) in any white worsted weight (category 4) yarn (like Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice)
Scrap yarn for bowtie and facial features
5 Size 4 US (3.5 mm) double pointed knitting needles
Removable stitch marker
Tapestry yarn needle
Scissors
Polyfil or yarn scraps

Skill level: Advanced beginner

Skills needed: Casting on, knit stitch, purl stitch, duplicate stitch, binding off, knitting in the round.
