Meet our Modern Bunny. She’s cute, cuddly and totally adorable. This bunny gets her adorable look from short arms, a fat tummy, shapely ears and a head designed to look more like the head of a bunny.

This Bunny is suitable for advanced beginner knitters and assumes an understanding of basic stitches and standard knitting terms. Our Modern 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 120 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 21 cm (8.5 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.
