girl bunny

This pattern is very similar to my last bunny pattern (found here), except it's a girl. Again the pattern for the bunny can be found here as it's not my pattern but is designed by the very talented Sharon Ojala.

Difficulty:

Medium

Materials:

• A 1.5mm crochet hook 
• Cotton thread weight yarn in white for the bunny plus pink and grey, or whatever other colours you want the clothes to be. The exact brand I used can be bought here, 
• 0.5mm thick wire
• masking tape (optional)
• A darning needle for sewing up
• A small button
• A small amount of black embroidery thread or black cotton thread weight yarn
• A regular sewing needle (if you'de rather use this for the eyes and nose)
• Toy stuffing
• A 5mm popper (or 3 if you want to do up the back of the dress as well)

For the bunny:
Make the dress me bunny by following this link above using a 1.5mm hook and cotton thread weight yarn. Insert a piece of wire inside the ears if you want to keep them standing up. You can see how I did this for my last bunny here. If you wish to make the cardigan you might want to not attach the arms just yet so that you can get them in the right position.

For the dress:
Make the spring time dress that can be found here in pink, using the same hook and weight yarn as you used for the bunny. If you want to do up the back with poppers add one 5mm one at the top and one at the bottom of the back edge.

Cut a length of white yarn and use it to lace up the shoes through the holes in the crochet.

For the star (make 2):
With white yarn make a magic loop with 6sc
Join with a ss and fasten off. Using 2 strands of black embroidery thread embroider a star onto it, and then sew this hole thing onto one side of the shoe. When you make the other one sew ot onto the opposite side of the other shoe.
