Bunny Buds
Discover the charming Bunny Buds, the endearing yet playful members of the Green Forest Gang! These delightful knitted bunnies are not only cute but also incredibly fun to make, perfect for knitters of all skill levels. Once you have acquainted yourself with these little creatures, you’ll find they prefer games of hide & seek over chores, making them playful companions for both kids and adults. Crafted on double-pointed needles (DPNs) from 100% premium wool, these sweet bunnies feature adorable fluffy bobbles for tails, adding an extra touch of whimsy to their charm.
Finished Size: Length: 20.5 cm / 8”, Width: 8 cm / 3”, Thumb: 3 cm / 1”.
Yarn: For this delightful pattern, we recommend using Cascade 220 and 220 Heathers, which are made from 100% wool (100 g = 200 m / 220 yds). You will need one skein of each color: A - Galaxy 4006, B - Grape 2420, C - Natural 8010, and D - Ash 8013. These vibrant colors will bring your Bunny Buds to life!
Needles & Notions: To achieve the perfect fit and texture, use 3.5mm (US 4) and 4.5mm (US 7) DPNs or the appropriate size to obtain the specified gauge. Be sure to have on hand 2 safety pins, 2 stitch markers, and a darning needle to make your knitting process smoother and more enjoyable.
Gauge: Achieve a precise gauge of 24 sts per 10 cm / 4” in pattern using 4.5mm (US 7) needles for optimal results. This ensures your Bunny Buds are the perfect size!
Notes: When working with multiple stitches of the same color, consider tacking down the second color at the wrong side (WS) to prevent long floats. If you won't be using a color in subsequent rounds, break the yarn and leave a tail for easy weaving in later. For those who prefer a smaller fit, feel free to drop down a needle size for a cozy alternative.
Embrace your creativity and fill your space with these playful Bunny Buds. This knitting pattern is not just a project; it’s a fun and rewarding experience that will bring joy to your crafting journey. Get started today and let the bunnies hop into your heart and home!
