Estimated Knit Time: Under 4 hours

Wool: Smooth Merino DK, pure New Zealand Merino

Pattern by: I should say this is not an original idea or pattern… but here are some simple instructions for you to follow and make your own little bunny!

Notes:

To make this cute bunny, you will be casting on then knitting every stitch, every row, until your knitted piece makes a square.  Casting off, then following some a few sewing instructions to make the bunny take shape.  For stuffing you can use old rags, toy fillers, even old socks!

Don’t forget to make a cute Pom Pom for their tail 🙂

Why Learn to Knit?

We know that what is going on in our world and in our communities is not easy at the moment – especially for those who are facing long stretches of isolation and uncertainty.  But we also know that there is a simple and comforting way to turn the unexpected time at home into a wonderful opportunity to knit, become creatively active and bring some focus and calm to your day.  So we encourage you to pick-up sticks again, to teach your family, and to learn yourself if you haven’t yet had the chance.
