Round Rabbit

Introducing the Round Rabbit knitting pattern, a delightful 7” tall and 6” wide plush toy featuring adorable stand-up ears and big feet! This charming rabbit is perfect for showcasing your knitting skills and is designed using advanced yarn engineering techniques, allowing her ears to stand tall without any wires or inserts.

Ideal for an INTERMEDIATE knitter, the Round Rabbit pattern primarily utilizes flat knitting with some sections worked in the round. The most challenging part of this project is the Short Row Shaping, which is thoroughly explained in the accompanying pattern tutorial. Expect to engage in some sewing as well, as the rabbit is knitted in multiple pieces before being sewn together for a polished finish.

SKILLS REQUIRED: This pattern will enhance your knitting proficiency by working with Garter (knit) Stitch, Stockinette Stitch, knitting in the round with double pointed needles, decreasing stitches with K2tog, and mastering Short Row Shaping (don't worry, a comprehensive tutorial is included in the pattern for your convenience).

MATERIALS NEEDED: You will need approximately 130 yards of Double Knitting weight yarn for the body of the rabbit and an additional 5 yards of white Double Knitting yarn for the fluffy rabbit tail. Gather your supplies including US size 3 (3.25 mm) straight needles, US size 3 (3.25 mm) double pointed needles (dpns) for working in the round, scraps of felt for embellishments, and a tapestry needle to finish your project beautifully.
