Sunny Bunny X
Crochet Stuffed Animal 24″ Tall
Featured in March/April 2009 Creative Home Arts Club Magazine
Designed by Deb Richey
First off I think Bunny X is larger than 24″ – more like 26-28″. The direction in the magazine for the legs are not entirely correct as an Email correspondence proved.
Supplies:
* 6 skeins of yarn (I used multi-colored instead of multiple colors, that way no need to change during crocheting.
*Size G-6 crochet hook
*A stitch marker – since you are crocheting in rounds - I used a paperclip
*Polyester fiberfill
*6 1 1/4″ buttons – for connecting Ears/Legs/Arms Plus two for the eyes
*6″ upholstery needle and Size 10 Crocheting yarn, for connecting the arms/legs
This was a lot of fun to make, although I felt like Dr. Frankenstein collecting body parts. Huge body parts! There were a few Ah-Hah! moments, well for someone who hasn’t crocheted in a long time, as the directions began to make sense as Bunny X progressed. The individual body parts work up quickly, but do pay attention to your counting because of all the increases – decreases.
The body parts can be just sewn onto the body, but then Bunny X is not as easy to pose . Eyelashes were added using eyelash yarn, and a final touch of a ribbon around the neck.
Bunny X will remain unnamed until our granddaughter receives it and gives it a name.
