Bunny Blank

By now you should know I love rabbits. I am owned by two rabbits, a holland lop and a lionhead. Even my friends call me Bunny. 
I created this bunny to go along with a set I am making for my sister-in-law and my soon to be niece or nephew. The baby isn't due till early next year but I like to have things done ahead of time.


What you need:
Size F (3.75mm) hook
Polyester fiber fill (lots)
Clip to keep place
Yarn needle
Scissors
Ribbon and rattle (optional)

I left off a face on this toy but be creative and decorate it in anyway you wish. If giving to a baby  you can even place a rattle inside while stuffing. This bunny is big, about 11 inches tall with ears.
