It feels really good to finally finish this project! Earlier this year, a coworker had a baby and this stuffed rabbit is my gift to her. I think it will make a nice stuffed toy or pillow.
I used Bernat Baby Jacquards yarn in the Easter Basket colorway. The pattern came on the yarn label but is also available for free on the Bernat website if you register.
I knit the bunny on size 5 needles. The pattern called for size 4, but I did not have needles in that size. I tend to knit tightly anyway, so I figured going up a size would not matter in this instance where gauge is not important.
The embroidered face was my mom's idea and talent. The pattern did not call for it, but I think it really adds a lot. She used the expression from her bunny figurine as a go-by.
The other change I made is to include the ears within the gusset seam on the back of the head. The pattern just said to sew them on the back of the head and I did not think that would look as nice or finished. Overall, I think the bunny turned out pretty adorable.
