Acorn Rabbit Softie
Introducing the delightful Acorn Rabbit softie knitting pattern – a charming decorative toy rabbit that’s perfect for hanging on your Christmas tree or gifting to loved ones. This unique pattern has been created to support Acorn Rabbit Rescue, a compassionate organization founded by friends Caroline and Mick in Bridlington, East Yorkshire, UK. Since its inception in 2020, Acorn Rabbit Rescue has dedicated itself to rescuing rabbits and guinea pigs from neglect and abandonment. They have opened their hearts and home to many old, neglected rabbits, as well as younger ones who were sadly no longer wanted after the pandemic. While not all the rabbits can be rehomed due to long-term health issues, they provide a loving sanctuary for these animals at Acorn. To date, the rescue has cared for 55 rabbits and guinea pigs, successfully rehoming 32 of them to loving families.
The Acorn Rabbit softie pattern features a simple yet charming design that is quick and easy to knit, making it perfect for knitters of all skill levels. This adorable rabbit uses leftover yarn from your various projects, so it’s an excellent way to utilize those oddments of yarn you've accumulated. The primary body of the rabbit is knitted using DK yarn, while an optional scarf can be crafted from 4-ply yarn scraps. Most of the body is knit in a smooth stocking stitch, creating a soft and cozy feel, whereas the rabbit's ears are uniquely designed in a lovely moss stitch, giving it a textured appearance. Additionally, the limbs are crafted using an i-cord technique, adding to the overall cuteness of this delightful softie.
Knitting this Acorn Rabbit not only provides a fun and creative project but also contributes to a meaningful cause. Every purchase of the pattern helps support the loving efforts of Acorn Rabbit Rescue in caring for vulnerable rabbits and guinea pigs. Join our knitting community and help spread awareness for this noble cause while creating a whimsical bunny that brings joy to your home!
