Intermediate skill level. This color work has very little repeats, and does require counting and focus. Beware there are lots of long floats, ensure you capture your long floats minimum of every 3 sts. Otherwise this is a quick and easy knit, with a very cute Giant Angora Rabbit on the front, and the words “Fuzzy Love” on the back.

Suggested Yarn; Use 2 colors, DK weight. My samples I used 1 color Fuzzy Vaughn’s Euphoria DK Angora Yarn, 50% Giant Angora/ 30% Merino/ 20% Silk. The 2nd color I either used Euphoria or another stretchy wool yarn of similar weight. I love my Euphoria yarn, although it is extremely warm and not much elasticity. I found when combining the pattern with a springy wool yarn as the second color, this created a great balance.

Needle Size; US 8 (5mm) cable needle, 16” Circular Needles, Double Pointed Needles

Gage; 22 sts and 26 rounds/4” in Fair Isle pattern. Gage is important here, as sometimes the color work creates a tighter fit.

Approximate Finished Size; One Size fits most adults, 22” diameter.
