Meet our signature Classic Bunny. She’s cute, cuddly and very lovable. This pattern supplies directions for making our Classic Bunny. This bunny can be knit all in one colour of yarn, but the pattern also offers alternate directions for knitting contrasting coloured paws on the arms, legs, ears and tail. Supplemental patterns for designs knit on the tummy of the bunny are offered for sale on this site.

This Bunny is suitable for advanced beginner knitters and assumes an understanding of basic stitches and standard knitting terms. Our Classic Bunny is knit flat and sewn together using a mattress stitch.

If you’re new to knitting stuffed friends, or are uncomfortable winging it without strict guidelines (that’s OK, we all need good directions sometimes to help us out) you will need approximately 90 m of medium weight yarn (one colour or a mix if you’re going to knit the alternate coloured paws). With this yarn, use 4 mm (US size 6) needles. You will also need a small amount of yarn for embroidering the face, stuffing (we use ecofil or wool) and a tapestry needle to sew your bunny together. This will let you create a bunny that’s approximately 19 cm (7.5 inches) in length.

The beauty of knitting stuffed friends is that this pattern can be knit in any size yarn with accompanying needles. Generally we find using a size or two smaller needles than required by the yarn allows for the tightness needed when you’re stuffing your finished product.

Keep in touch! We’d love to hear from you.
