Bunny’s head and body are crocheted in one piece; their arms, legs, ears and tail are crocheted separately and sewn on.

Difficulty: Bunny easy to crochet, but due to the texture of the yarn, this project may be better for intermediate to experienced crocheters. (You cannot see your stitches, you must be able to find them with your fingers - the recommended hook size should allow for this.) Techniques involved: single crochets, increasing in single crochets, decreasing in single crochets.

All necessary sewing involved is easy, the yarn’s texture completely hides your stitches. Two different options given for ear lining: a crocheted lining (easy sewing) or a ribbon lining (requires some sewing experience).

Step-by-step instructions (with pictures) are provided for embroidering the nose.

Finished height (using suggested materials): approximately 28cm (11 inches)
