Bunnies for Easter KAL/CAL

[Shandeh]

I would like to make some bunny rabbit items for Easter. So, I decided to do a search on the Bernat website for bunnies, and found lots of options!

I'm leaning toward the Satin Finger Puppets.


The Toy Bunnies look cool too. I'm thinking that I could leave the bottom open, and turn it into a hand puppet.


The Baby Jacquards Bunny Toy looks good too.


And babies can play with the baby Bunny Toy.


There's even a pattern for a few rabbit hats!

Softee Baby Hat with Ears


Costume Hats


Softee Chunky Bunny Hat



And here's a full set for a baby. Cottontots Baby Bunny Set


Would anyone else like to make bunnies with me?

I also looked through the Bernat Books for bunny patterns, and found the following:

A Satin Bunny Set in Great Gift Ideas
The set includes a hat, mittens, slippers, and a bag. Cute!


There's a Bunny Buddy toy in the Baby Sport Blankets & Buddies book.


Some Bunny and Bear Rattles in the Softee Baby Baby Gifts pattern book.


A Fantasy Flowers Bunny in the Softee Baby Baby Talk book.


And a sweet, fluffy bunny and blanket with ears in the Pipsqueak Blankets, Bunnies, and Bears book


Now, I'm having trouble deciding which one I want to make!

The first two look fun to me.....is the second one a crochet? Is it easy enough to try? Could it be made up as a washcloth?

I'm leaning toward the first one, and the second one would definitely be fun as a washcloth. You would just need to leave the bottom open for your hand to slip inside. And yes...the second one is crochet - for beginners!

I made an Easter Bunny!

I used the Finger Puppet pattern: http://www.bernat.com/pattern.php?PID=4760
When it was finished, I decided to stuff the body, instead of using it as a finger puppet. It just felt too floppy to work as a finger puppet. I think it looks better as a small toy.

That is so cute!! I have some Bernat Waverly yarn left over from the KAL that I could use to make a white bunny!

The Bunny is beautiful. I love it. I have one question??? Where do you find the time for all the work you do? I can't keep up. I am doing the Cal, did then Mermaid purses, the Chrysanthemum Dishcloth and now I want to do the Finger Puppet (Bunny) like yours stuffed. ( this will take me awhile, I'm not good a knitting ) Then I'd like to try the Toy Bunny, leaving the bottom open and use it for a roll of tissue paper. You give me such inspiration. The things you do are soooo beautiful. Thanks.

Gosh, I wish I could stay caught up with the blankets! I'm very slow with those. The small projects are fun and quick

Shandeh, your white bunny is so sweet! Lovely work! I love the Jacquard Bunny!! I am bonkers for the Baby Jacquard yarn. . .I'm not sure if I'll be able to make one soon--I've so many balls of yarn in the air! I put Jacquard Bunny in My Stuff. Thanks for passing along these too-cute patterns!

I'm so confused... I saw an angel before a bunny. I might need to make another body for the bunny. I left the bottom open and it is covering a roll of tissue.
