Notes

Used leftover yarn and used embroidery thread for eyes and mouth as I didn’t have any safety eyes on hand.

Each portion of the bunny is knit separately and whipstitched onto the body. I stitched & stuffed my tail so it would be extra perky.

Egg:

Cast on 8 stitches on size 1 dpns Join in the round.
