Introducing Knit Bunny 2.0! Originally released in Spring of 2017, the new version now includes updated instructions, construction notes, and three different size/yarn weight options.

Knit Bunny is a quick and easy 3D toy pattern that uses simple increases and decreases to shape the different elements. This project is great for knitters new to working in the round and makes a great gift for newborn babies and kids’ Easter baskets.

Approx. 120 yards or less:
