These Dutch Bunnies make cuddly little pets for loved ones young and old.  Each of the three rabbits uses the same pattern but worked in different colours. The bunnies are mostly knitted in stockinette stitch with garter stitch for the tails.

This pattern has been designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz using acrylic DK yarns, and is knitted flat on single pointed needles. A three needle bind off is used for the ears, so you will need a third knitting needle to work that cast off.
