Calling all multi-crafters: here’s a chance to get working your needle, thread, hook and yarn, all at once. Regina Groleau and Sara Huntington have created this bunny pattern to sew and we just love it!
This cute Easter bunny comes with his very own crocheted jacket – however, if you’re a dedicated sewist-only, you could make your own alternative outfit, or simply tie a snazzy bow around his neck.
If you’ve got multiple children to make Easter gifts for, then you could customise each rabbit for its prospective owner. Try to use woven wool fabric with no right/ wrong side for easier assembly.
