I actually completed the first of these bunnies way back in January, but I have been waiting until the small people arrived into the world and were given their bunnies to blog about them.
I bought the pattern for these bunnies from a shop in Keswick called Temporary Measure, which I visited last year when I was in the Lake District. This is a lovely quirky little gift shop which stocks a variety of craft goods including knitting wool and some gorgeous liberty print fabrics, photographic canvases and other bits and bobs. If you are ever in the area I would highly recommend a visit!
I used Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmino yarn, which is wonderfully soft and comes in a range of gorgeous colours. Due to the fact that i used 3.25 mm needles (as recommended on the yarn) rather than 4 mm (as recommended by the pattern) I managed to get each bunny out of a single 50g ball of wool. Bargainous! These bunnies were a dream to knit, the most complicated part was sewing them up, which was a little bit fiddly. For more details see my Ravelry page here.
So far I have made 2 of these bunnies, which is in no way impressive as a very good friend of mine has made 11 so far. Yes ELEVEN, that is not a typo! Impressive stuff. These are a great baby gift and the two I have gifted so far have been very well received, so I am sure there will be more to come!
