I made these blue bunnies for my Grandaughters

I used this pattern

I had trouble with this pattern last year

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

This is how I did it

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
