Happy Little Bun Bun

Say Happy Easter With A Happy Little Bun Bun

Spring time make me think about bunnies hopping around enjoying the warmth from the sun! 
This little bunny is made in the Japanese style of Amigurumi, which is worked in a spiral . 

You will not be joining your rounds, just continue on to the 1st stitch of the next round. I would recommend placing a stitch marker in to the 1st stitch of the round you are working, to be sure where to end the round. 

I'd love to see your Happy Little Bun Bun's, so tag me in a photo of your completed project @cosyrosieuk

Sewing Up


Ears - sew the ears on opposite sides of the head  with the top of the ear between rows 3 & 4


Eyes

Reinsert your needle 3 stitches to the left and come back out 2 rows up and 1 stitch in.
Reinsert your needle through where the black yarn began, then come out 6 stitches to the right.
Reinsert your needle 3 stitches to the right and come back out 2 rows up and 1 stitch in.
Finally, reinsert your needle where the 2nd eye began, and push the needle back out the rear of the head and snip your ends


Nose

Using pink yarn and tapestry needle, insert through the rear of your Bun Bun's head and come out 1 row lower that the left eye and 1 stitch to the left

Reinsert 4 stitches to the right coming back out 2 stitches back to the left in the same row

Reinsert 3 rows down coming out 2 stitches to the left, 1 row up.

Insert hook back in to the bottom of the nose coming out 1 row up and 2 stitches to the right.

Finally insert the hook into the bottom of the nose and back out the rear of the head. Snip your ends 

Arms
Sew on each of the arms on opposite side of the body, with the top of the arms 1 row under the neck

Feet
Flatten the feet and sew on between the 3rd and 4th row from the bottom

Tail
Using the grey DK and the 35mm pom pom maker, make a pom pom and attach at the back of the between rows 4 & 5. This will help your Bun Bun sit down unaided.

I'm so excited to see your own little Bun Buns, so be sure to tag me in a picture of your finished project.
