Bunny Love & Extras

Introducing Bunny Love, a beloved knitting pattern originally designed for a Little Skein Kit inspired by the classic tale of the Velveteen Rabbit. This charming pattern has been updated to offer you even more creative options! Now you can choose from various arms and legs, customize your bunny with a cozy cardigan, craft an adorable bunch of carrots, and give your creation a more cheerful facial expression. This comprehensive pattern includes both the original Bunny Love design and all of the exciting new features.

Bunny Love is a delightful project, standing at 7 ½ inches tall from the bottom to the top of his head (excluding his lovely, floppy ears). This seamless design is worked in the round, ensuring a clean finish. The pattern provides meticulous, row-by-row instructions that walk you through the entire knitting process, complemented by in-progress photographs to assist you in constructing the bunny's arms and legs. Whether you're a novice or an experienced knitter, you'll appreciate the clarity of these detailed instructions.

Additionally, I made a slight modification to the face decreases—replacing the ssk stitch with a k2tog for a simpler approach. Other than that, the bunny's body, head, and ears remain true to the original design, allowing you to enjoy the same classic charm with enhanced options.

The sample shown is crafted in Quince & Co. Owl, a luxurious yarn that adds a lovely texture to your Bunny Love creation. For those looking to explore alternatives, we suggest several yarn substitutes below to help you find the perfect fit for your unique project.

Whether you're making Bunny Love for yourself, as a gift, or as part of a charming collection, this knitting pattern promises hours of enjoyment and a delightful finished product. Happy knitting!
