Amigurumi may become a new favorite around here. This was so much fun!  And I was so pleased with the result. 

 

Who doesn’t love Beatrix Potter’s beloved bunny family and clever stories? 

 

After Peter was finished I had to make him a vest, and satchel…  and then I had to make him a garden!  I found some craft carrots that fit perfectly into the garden bed.  I included a pattern for it as well. I may add more accessories to this in the future… maybe a sun hat for a girly version, or a little basket to collect garden goodies in. What do you think?   

 

Pair this with some candy and maybe a new bunny book for Easter and you’re set! 

 

 

 

 

 

Materials you’ll need for this project are:

 

• Cotton Fair Yarn in Cocoa, Cream and Baby Blue; Weight – Fine 2
• Medium 4 weight yarn in a dark brown for the garden
• 3mm crochet hook
• 6mm Safety Eyes
• Darning Needle
• Ivory or White Embroidery Thread
• Craft Carrots or other veggie

 

 

Gauge:

I don’t think you need worry about gauge for this pattern too much, just ensure your stitches aren’t too lose.   

 

 

Size:                                                             

When finished your bunny will be approximately 5.5” tall, and 3” wide at the bottom.

 

 

 

 

Let’s get started!

 

With your 3mm hook and brown, make a magic circle.

 

Don’t know how to make the magic circle?   Check out the tutorial below.  It’s so easy! You’ll be so glad you did. 

 

How to Make the Magic Circle

 

 

Round 1 – Ch1. 10sc in the circle. Tighten the circle. (10sts)

 

Place your stitch marker.

 

Replace the stitch marker at the end of each round as this pattern is worked in a continuous round. You may want to keep a stitch marker in the previous round as well in case you miscount or make an error and must go back a round.

Don’t have fancy stitch markers yet? You can easily use a bobby pin that’s lying around. 

 

Round 2 – 2sc in each st around. (20sts)

 

Round 3 – Sc1, 2sc in the next st. Repeat around. (30sts)

 

Round 4 – Sc4, 2sc in the next st. Repeat around. (36sts)
