A Bunny for K!

 I loved crocheting this cute bunny for K.  She loves it!  The pattern is by lestescrochet, and the yarn is Parfait Chunky Yarn.  I used a size 5.5mm I crochet hook.


 I crocheted a heart for the bunny and added flowers to her ears.

My notes:

I added a tail in white Parfait Chunky.  Magic ring:  6 sc.  2:  Increase around to 12 stitches.  R3 and R4)  12 sc.  Join with a slip stitch and leave a tail for sewing.

15 mm blue safety eyes

Flowers for Bunny ears:  2 layer flowers.  Cotton yarn.  3.5mm hook  Pink, purple, deep pink, turquoise blue.

1) Light Pink.  Ch. 5.  Join with a slip stitch into the first chain to form a circle.

Ch1 (doesn't count as a stitch) (SC, Ch3) into the ring until you have 7 loops.  Join with a slip stitch to 1st. sc.

2) Petals:  (Sc, ch1, 2dc, ch1, sc) into each loop.  Slip stitch into the first sc.  7 petals.

2nd Layer:  Dark Pink.  (You can use the same color if you chain 1 and turn to the wrong side.)

With the back facing:  Insert the hook behind a spoke and work a slip stitch.  Chain 5.  (Slip stitch into the next spoke, ch 5) around.  7 loops.

Ch1 and turn flower over to front.  Each petal:   (Sc, ch1, 3dc, ch1, sc) around.  Join with slip stitch into first petal. 

Cut and leave longish tails for dark pink yarn.  Bury the tails a bit to fasten them securely and then use them to tie onto the bunny's ears.  One flower had turquoise blue and deep rose color yarns.

Ears:  I flatten and sew the ears closed with a few stitches.  I sew on arms on the top of the arm and on the lower layer of the arms for more security. 

Join pieces with a slip stitch into the first stitch to end off.  Cut the yarn, pull the tail out, leaving a long tail for sewing.
