A brand new knit for Spring- make this cute Easter Bunny in soft pink dungarees and green cardigan, a snuggly character perfect to knit as an Easter gift (a nice alternative to chocolate!)
Measuring 46cm tall from feet to ear tips, the bunny is made using a ball of chunky yarn in tan colour, with some Dk yarn for his dungarees and spring-green cardigan. He holds a carrot in his hand (or you can knit him a whole bunch of carrots) This pattern is suitable for knitters with skills like casting on and off, knit stitch , purl stitch and increase/decrease. The bunny and clothes are all knitted flat so no knitting in the round is needed. The illustrated instructions take you through the knitting and making up step-by-step.
Materials Needed
- Chunky yarn of your choice for the bunny itself. We used one ball of Stylecraft Special Chunky in Camel (1420)
- You’ll also need about half a ball of Wendy Peter Pan DK in Spring Leaf (PD20) for the cardigan and just over half a ball of Wendy Peter Pan Dk in Coral (colour PD19) for the dungarees (or you can choose your own Dk yarns) You can also use these Dk yarns to knit a carrot for bunny to hold.
Notions
- 4.5mm straight knitting needles for knitting the bunny and 4mm straight knitting needles for knitting the clothes and carrot.
- A length of Black Dk yarn for the nose
- A stitch holder or spare knitting needle
- Toy stuffing
- Darning needle
- A pair of 9mm black toy safety eyes with click on backs- or you can embroider the eyes if he’s being made for a young child.
