The Weighted Crochet Snuggle Bunny is perfect for Easter and spring decor, for play, for nursery and bedroom decor, and so much more!

The pattern is primarily beginner-friendly with a few pieces that may stretch your skills a bit, and although furry yarn is typically more difficult to work with, the technique used in the pattern makes it approachable for even the advanced beginner!

Instructions for adding a weighted piece (either machine or hand sewn) inside the Bunny allows for a proprioceptive component if used for play, and also makes it a fun option to use functionally as a doorstop.
