Knitted flat Easter Bunny and carrot
Introducing our delightful bunny knitting pattern, perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters alike! This charming finished bunny stands approximately 9.05 inches (23 cm) tall from ears to toes, making it an adorable addition to any collection. Alongside it, you'll also create a vibrant carrot that’s about 7.48 inches (19 cm) long, adding a playful touch to your knitted ensemble.
**Materials Needed:** To embark on this crafting adventure, gather the following materials:
- 2 single-pointed needles in sizes suitable for your yarn weight, with our recommendation being sizes a bit smaller than the yarn suggests for a tighter, more durable fabric. For this project, 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 in color White (1001), which comes in a 100-gram skein with 304 meters.
- Green and orange yarns: Dream in Color Jilly, with colors Tart (703) for the carrot's green leaves and Solar Glitter (561) for the vibrant orange of the carrot itself. These yarns are 100% Merino Wool and come in fingering weight, featuring 402 meters per 4oz.
- Toy stuffing for a plush finish.
- Plastic eyes or 2 buttons for the bunny’s eyes to give it character.
- A plastic tube, approximately 10 cm long, to securely attach the head, neck, and body together.
- A yarn needle to weave in your ends.
- A stitch holder for keeping your stitches secure as you work.
This adorable bunny and carrot set not only makes a great gift for children or friends but also serves as a wonderful decorative piece for your home. Whether you’re planning a themed party, celebrating Easter, or simply looking to showcase your knitting skills, this project is sure to delight!
