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!

So cute and so professional! Hop hop! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute - I love making knitted toys for small people - they're quick and easy but always go down so well with the small people and their parents!
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute!!!
ReplyDeleteThey're fantastic! They have lovely wee faces (which is always important for a toy!), and the fabric ears are great. :)
ReplyDeleteAww Kat, these are adorable.
