Honey Bunny Crocheted Softie Pattern

A big ol' crocheted bunny for the little one in your life! This bunny is made in rounds that join so the only seaming you need to do is to stitch on the arms, legs, ears, and pom pom tail. The suggested yarn is a washable wool for easy cleaning, and you can make it for a girl or a boy by changing the shirt stripes and pants colors. Easy and fast, I think you'll enjoy this one.

Safety note: The nose and eyes for this softie are small, but have safety washers on the back. You need to make sure your gauge is no looser than what is specified so these won't come out, or get pushed back into the softie. As always, please use your judgement when using any kind of small pieces on children's toys. If you're worried, just stitch on eyes and nose with embroidery floss.
