Searching the Web for free Easter Bunny knitting patterns I found several bunny bowls on Pinterest that were crocheted. They were all so adorable, unfortunately I do not know how to crochet. Could not find any similar patterns on Ravelry, so decided to adapt this pattern to see if a similar look could be achieved. Knit all pieces in the round. Mystery Wool/Acrylic Mix held double on US size 7. Mini Bow Tie on US size 3.

Knit 18 rows and decrease 1 stitch (K2tog) each end of next and every 4th row until 2 st remain. (decreased first and last stitch on row 2,6,10,14,18 )
K2tog and fasten off

Arms (make 2)

Cast on 7 stitches. Used size US 7 dpn’s.
