This cute little bunny would make the perfect gift for a new baby. I made this one for a little boy; but you could use pink in place of the blue and give it to a little girl too.
Supplies:
5.00 mm crochet hook
White worsted weight yarn
True Blue or Petal Pink worsted weight yarn
* colors based on Red Heart Super Saver yarn
stitch marker
stuffing material
rattle, if desired
yarn needle
blue or pink ribbon, if desired
scissors
Abbreviations Used:
ch --- chain
Rnd(s) --- round(s)
sc --- single-crochet
st/sts --- stitch/stitches
sc2tog --- single-crochet 2 stitches together
Notes:
--- Be sure to move the stitch marker up as you complete each round.
--- Rattles to place inside the Bunny can be found at craft supply stores.
--- If using ribbon, be sure to tack it in place using a needle and thread so that a baby will be unable to pull off the bow.
