Materials and Uses
Materials You Will Need:
-
Yarn: Amigurumi-weight yarn in two main colors (e.g., White and Orange). You also need a small amount of thin pink yarn (e.g., Anne) to embroider the nose.
-
Crochet Hook: A 2.5 mm hook.
-
Accessories: Size 8 safety eyes, fiberfill stuffing, a tapestry needle, scissors, stitch markers, and a small amount of pink blush with a fine brush for detail.
Uses:
-
You use the finished bunny as a charming addition to Easter baskets or holiday decor.
-
You create a beautiful, handmade gift.
-
The finished bunny measures approximately 12 cm tall (including the ears) and 8 cm wide.
Special Features:
-
Egg-Shaped Body: You use strategic increases and decreases while working in continuous rounds to achieve a smooth, rounded egg shape for the body.
-
Integrated Ruffle Skirt: You change yarn color and work the first colored round in the Back Loop Only (BLO). You later return to the remaining Front Loops Only (FLO) to create a delicate shell stitch ruffle.
-
Facial Details: You secure safety eyes, then embroider a small T-shaped nose/mouth with contrasting pink yarn. You finish by applying pink blush to the inside of the ears for a sweet, lifelike touch.
Tutor's Suggestions:
-
Secure Color Change: You join the new color on the final pull-through of the last stitch of the old color. This action ensures a seamless and invisible color transition.
-
Stuffing Timing: Insert the fiberfill before you begin the final decrease rounds (R18/R19). You will find it difficult to stuff the toy once the opening gets too small.
-
Hide Ends: Knot the old and new yarn ends together inside the body (giving them three secure knots) and tuck them securely inside the toy before you insert the main fiberfill.
