You may crochet this little bunny from any kind of cotton or acrylic yarn and with hook your yarn wishes for. What do I mean like ‘wishing’? You should use a hook with that your crochet looks enough tight. This in average use to be 1 size smaller hook than which is written on the yarns tag.
Abbreviations:
Work in continuous rounds. Do not join or turn if not instructed in the pattern.
It is suggested to use a stitch marker. Place it at the first stitch of the row and
move it up when working always to the first stitches of the rows.
sc =simple crochet
*x = repeat x times
sl-st = slipstitch
I have used 6 mm safety eyes and 9 mm safety nose but you might embroider them also.
Stitch explanation;
Decrease (sc2tog) – Insert hook into a st
and draw up a loop. Insert hook into next st
and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw
through all 3 loops on hook.
