Easter Bunny and carrot
Introducing our delightful knitted bunny pattern – a charming project that results in an adorable finished bunny measuring approximately 9.05 inches (23 cm) tall, from the tips of its cute ears to its tiny toes. Accompanying this lovely bunny is a knit carrot, which stands at around 7.48 inches (19 cm) long, adding an extra touch of whimsy to your creation.
This knitted bunny features movable arms, rotating legs, and a head that can turn, providing an interactive element that children will adore. Perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters alike, this pattern will guide you through every step to bring your bunny and carrot to life.
To get started on your bunny project, you'll need the following materials:
- 4 double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. For best results, we recommend using needles that are one or two sizes smaller than the yarn suggests, to create a firm, durable fabric. For this pattern, we used size 2.5 (3mm) needles for the bunny, and size 4 (3.5mm) needles for the hat and carrot.
- White yarn: Special Stylecraft DK, color White (1001) – 304 meters / 100 grams
- Green and orange yarn: Dream in Color Jilly, colors Tart (703) and Solar Glitter (561) – 100% Merino Wool, Fingering 402 meters / 4oz
- Toy stuffing for that plush feel
- Plastic eyes or two buttons for the bunny’s eyes
- A plastic tube approximately 10 cm in length for securely attaching the head, neck, and body together
- A yarn needle for weaving in ends
- A stitch holder to keep your stitches organized
This engaging knitting project not only results in a charming toy but also provides a fantastic opportunity to practice your knitting skills.
