BUNNY
Things you need to know about this project
Work in continuous spiral, do not join, you will be told when you need to close the rounds with a sl st. Crochet tight to prevent gaps between the stitches that wil not allow the stuffing to show through the fabric. For this bunny project I used 3,0 mm crochet hook the bunny is about 24cm tall and 9.5cm wide. Use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to mark the end or the beginning of a round, move the marker at the end of every round. Tip! from this pattern you can make smaller or larger bunny by using a bulkier or finer yarn. choose a smaller crochet hook at least one size smaller then suggested on the yarn label. by changing the bunny size make sure to adjust the size of the safety eyes, also you can use for the eyes buttons, French knot or paint eyes.
