Elegant Eliza and Exquisite Edgar Bunnies
These adorable knit bunnies, Eliza and Edgar, are not only a joy to create but also delightful companions for playtime! Designed to be knitted all in one piece, these bunnies are filled as you go, ensuring minimal finishing work and zero seams that could come undone over time. Their flat appendages make them perfect for little hands to hold, chew on, and play with. Plus, the washable cotton yarn (we recommend using Knit Picks' Comfy Worsted) makes cleaning incredibly easy, so they’re perfect for kids!
Eliza comes dressed in a charming knit-in leotard paired with a coordinating skirt, while Edgar sports a stylish knit shirt that perfectly matches Eliza's ensemble, complete with a removable dinner jacket for those special occasions. These knitted toys are designed for both fun and practicality, making them the ideal gifts for birthdays, holidays, or just because!
For this project, you will need worsted-weight, washable cotton yarn. Here's a quick breakdown of the yardage you'll need:
- **Skin tone**: approximately 100 yards for Eliza and 75 yards for Edgar
- **Leotard/Shirt**: about 50 yards for Eliza and 25 yards for Edgar
- **Skirt**: around 50 yards for the main color of the skirt
- **Jacket, facial stitching, and Edgar's legs**: about 2 yards for Eliza, and approximately 75 yards for Edgar
With these delightful and cuddly knit bunnies, you’ll enjoy both the crafting journey and the joy they bring to your little ones. Get ready to dive into this fun knitting adventure and bring Eliza and Edgar to life—your children (and their friends) will cherish these handmade treasures for years to come!
Happy knitting!
