The pattern is knit in the round using the Magic Loop method. If you can manage double pointed needles for the project, use them. (My arthritis makes it very difficult to hold them.)

Farmer Blue Jeans stands 6” tall from his bunny feet to the tips of his ears.

I use worsted weight yarn. The size 2 (2.75mm) needles and the worsted wt yarn produces the correct “texture” (dense fabric type) for the bunny.

This pattern is perfect for “Stash” knitting.

The body is stuffed semi firm and the head is stuffed firmly. If the knit product is too loose to begin with, the stuffing pulls the stitches and it shows through. Yuck.

I would strongly suggest using wool or wool alpaca or merino yarn.
If you choose to use acrylic yarn, I cannot guarantee the final result. It will not look like the photos included in the pattern.

IF YOU INTEND TO GIFT THIS TO A VERY YOUNG CHILD, STITCH DOWN THE SCARF SO IT CANNOT BE REMOVED. THERE ARE BUTTONS ON THE OVERALLS. THE CARROT AND BAG ARE ALSO SMALL AND NOT SUITED FOR BABIES AND VERY YOUNG CHILDREN. THE BUNNY CAN BE MADE WITHOUT THEM.

Please contact me if you need any assistance whilst knitting “Farmer Blue Jeans”.
