No Sew Bunny is an easy to follow novice pattern for making amigurumi, the pattern takes you through some of the basic shaping and each piece is worked in the round. It’s key features are that the bunny can be completed in just one ball of Stylecraft Special Chunky yarn and is a no sew project meaning all the limbs, body and head are worked together using crochet stitches. Additionally you will need a small amount of cotton yarn for the hearts and the soles of the feet and to stitch the nose. The pattern used double crochet (UK) or single crochet (US) throughout. you will also use the magic ring/circle, invisible decreases, increases, working in the back loop only, eye indentation and crocheting limbs onto the body. There are some ‘how to’ guides at the end of the pattern to help you along.
the great thing about Stylecraft Special yarn is it comes in a great range of colours giving you lots of choice for your bunny.
The pattern uses the Yarn over hook method and recommends to use 2 hook sizes smaller than the yarn calls for, this allows much tighter stitches which helps with shaping and proportion.
The pattern works in continuing rounds so you will need a stitch marker to place in your new row when you start.
Don’t be afraid to practice, undo and redo parts you’re not happy with and most importantly have fun.
