Sweet Hopper is knit in one piece from bum to nose. The body of the bunny is shaped by knitting increases and decreases along the way. Ears are knit separately
and attached. Tail is knit onto the body at the very end of the project.

I use DK weight wool held together with a strand of laceweight Mohair for a fuzzy feel. Make smaller or larger bunnies by varying the weight of yarn you are using. Thicker yarn and needles would make a larger piece. Thinner yarn and needles would make a smaller piece. This is a good stash buster.

Yarn suggestion :
Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt held together with Sandnes Garn Tynn silk mohair.

Materials:
5O g Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt, 25g Sandnes Garn Tynn Silk Mohair,
Polyfill or wool rowing for stuffing. Scrap yarn in dark brown, black or pink for embroidering eyes and nose.
