Scraps the floppy bunny
Introducing Scraps, the adorable floppy bunny that measures 16 inches (40.5 cm) long! This delightful knitting pattern is perfect for crafters looking to create a soft and cuddly friend for small children.
PLEASE NOTE:
Scraps is an ideal toy for young kids. However, for safety purposes, please replace the bead eyes with embroidered ones and avoid using buttons. As with all toys designed for very young children, ensure that the limbs and ears are securely attached. These features make excellent handles for little ones to swing their toys around with joy! :o)
Knitting Scraps is a fun and easy project that involves color changes, making it an engaging and imaginative experience for knitters. Though the pattern requires alternating colors, there's no need to worry about weaving in all the little ends! Simply tie the two colors together after each change in a double knot, and use the ends as part of the stuffing. This not only simplifies your process but also adds character to your finished bunny!
