Turn your leftover yarn into a bunny with long ears and a personality of its own. Mix colours, fibres and textures to create a unique knitted friend.

Construction
The ears are worked separately and joined before continuing with the head, arms, body and legs in one connected piece. The bunny is knitted flat in stockinette stitch, joined with crochet and stuffed as you go.

Sizes and finished measurements
Small and large. Both measure approximately 50 cm (19¾ in) from ear tip to paw. Body width: approximately 10 cm (4 in) for small and 15 cm (6 in) for large.

Needles and gauge
Small: 4.5 mm / US 7 needles; 17 stitches per 10 cm / 4 in.
Large: 6 mm / US 10 needles; 14 stitches per 10 cm / 4 in.
Gauge is approximate. Choose yarn and needles that create a dense fabric so the stuffing does not show. Both sizes use the same stitch counts and centimetre measurements.
Crochet hook: 3 mm.

Yarn and materials
Approximately 100–150 g of leftover yarn per bunny. Hold thinner yarns together as needed, changing one strand or colour at a time. The blue sample uses DROPS Snow with trousers in Lang Yarns Shirley; the brown sample uses DROPS Nepal and small yarn leftovers.
You will also need toy stuffing, one stitch marker, a tapestry needle and yarn to embroider the face.

Techniques and extras
Increases, decreases, German short rows, crochet joining and embroidery. A link to a crochet-joining video and a printable bunny colouring template are included.
