**Materials Needed:** To embark on this lovely knitting journey, gather the following supplies: 4 double-pointed needles in a size that is suitable for the yarn weight you’re using. For a firmer fabric, I recommend using needles that are a size or two smaller than the yarn suggests. For example, I used size 2 (3mm) needles for the bunny toy and size 6 (4mm) needles for the blanket. You’ll need:
- White color Yarn: Superlambs Special (50% wool, 50% premium acrylic), 100g - 200m for the bunny.
- Melange James C. Brett Baby Marble Yarn DK Colour 760 (100% acrylic, 268 meters / 100 grams) or King Cole Baby Splash Yarn DK Colour 21 (100% acrylic, 292 meters / 100 grams) for the blanket.
- Toy stuffing to give your bunny its cuddly shape.
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends and assembly.
- Stitch holder to keep your stitches organized.
Whether for your own nursery or as a thoughtful gift, this knitted bunny and blanket set is sure to bring joy and comfort. Dive into this engaging project today and create a memorable keepsake for any newborn!
