Babs Bunny

Introducing Babita, affectionately known as Babs—a delightful, teeny bunny pattern that’s not just easy to follow but also incredibly cute! This charming bunny stands at a petite 12 cm, making her the perfect size for little hands to cuddle and carry around. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting your crafting journey, this pattern can be tackled with ease and offers a delightful project to showcase your skills.

Designed to be worked in the round, this adorable bunny requires minimal yarn and stuffing, allowing you to whip her up quickly and efficiently. I typically knit her using 3mm double-pointed needles (DPNs), but feel free to use circular needles if you prefer—it's all about finding what works best for you! The key is to ensure that your fabric remains tight; therefore, using the smallest needles you can comfortably manage will yield the best results. While gauge isn’t a strict requirement, it's important to maintain consistent tension throughout your project, ensuring that all the pieces fit together beautifully.

For this playful pattern, I recommend using an acrylic DK yarn that conforms to toy safety standards—perfect for crafting items intended for children. The benefit of acrylic yarn is that it’s not only durable and easy to wash, but it also comes in a wide range of vibrant colors, allowing you to customize Babita to your heart's content. That said, any DK yarn you have on hand should work just fine for this project. So gather your materials and get ready to enjoy the fun of knitting this sweet little bunny!
