http://www.crochetmemories.com/archive/april3.html

I had trouble with this pattern last year

So... I changed it to suit my style.

This is how I did it

My Blue Bunny

Crochet Pattern

Hdc = half double crochet

Ss = Slip Stitch

Sc = Single Crochet

Bunny Head

Work 10 hdc into

Magic Circle

Chain 1 (makes a tiny nose point)Ss into next 3 stitches

Chain 6 (beginning front foot & body)

Hdc into 2^nd chain from hook and into next 3 stitches, Sc into last stitch

Chain 2, turn work Dc into same stitch and into next 3 stitches (do not work into last stitch, note: last stitch forms front foot), you should have 5 dc now (this is the upper middle of body)

Middle body

Chain 2, turn work Dc into same stitch and 4 more Dc into previous row,  note: 6 Dc

Chain 2, turn work 6 hdc, chain 1, do not turn, sc into same stitch twice ( forms back foot) Sc in next 2 stitches (forms Bunny Bottom), chain 3 (tail), Sc in next 2 stitches, begin to  Ss across the back of bunny Ss to join to head, Ss into head 2 more times, (Begin Ears) Chain 3

Work 2 triple crochets, chain 3 all into same stitch, bind off pull loose end to back pull magic circle closed tie loose ends together trim off excess.

Tie a small bow tie around the neck

Finished

Pinch, Pull and Press with low heat iron to block if desired

The center of the magic circle for the head makes a sort of eye, but one can add decorations if so desired, note: I used pom-poms for tail and eye

This is a fidgety crochet project, so don’t give up on it, I think it makes a cute bunny and I hope my directions are helpful and understandable, if not I am sorry and all I can say is I tried J

I have blue & white bunnies in my Etsy shop this week
