Brini – The Crochet Bunny Rabbit
Hi there, it’s San from Loopsan again, which means that there will be again some crochet going on today :) Last month I showed you how to make a very easy bunny storage basket and this month we’re going to make a matching little crochet bunny pattern.
To make your Brini Bunny, you’ll need:
- acrylic or cotton DK yarn in cream (I use DK yarn as its the most common in the UK, you can use worsted yarn instead but you might want to adjust your hook size)
- a little bit of DK yarn in pink and black
- polyfill
- Size G/ 4 mm hook (if you’re using worsted yarn go up a hook size)
- a little bit of contrast fabric
