There are tons of great knitting patterns out there for stuffed animals, but most of them aren’t beginner friendly. This bunny knitting pattern is as easy as it comes- if you can knit a square, you can make this! This little guy makes a great gift and this pattern is also a great way to make use of scrap yarn!
Supplies needed
Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick in Barley
Size US 13 knitting needles
Yarn needle
Fiber fill
Pom pom maker
Lion Brand Homespun in Deco
Bunny Knitting Pattern
Cast on 24 sts. Knit in stockinette stitch for 24 rows. Bind off.
Using a yarn needle, make a running stitch through the center of the square. (I used red yarn so the stitches would show up in pictures. You should use the same color yarn as your bunny)
Stitch up in a triangular shape
Pull the ends of the yarn on the side to gather. You’ll see the ears and head forming.
Stuff the head with fiber fill and pull the ends of yarn tightly to close.
Make a stitch to secure.
Make a stitch to secure.
The rest of the square will become the body. Stitch the seam closed.
Stuff the body with fiber fill.
Run a stitch around the opening and pull to close. Knot to secure.
