Dress Me Bunny Dress Me Bunny is a modified version of my Valentine Bear. I decided to put it all in one pattern for you then you can make the bunny without having to flip back and forth between patterns. There is a full video tutorial that follows along with this written pattern. Here are the pattern links now available for the bunny, scroll down this page for the bunny pattern itself and look for the green print friendly at the bottom of the pattern Overalls (boy clothes) Carrot Purse Basket of Carrots Spring Time Dress Carrot Dress The video tutorials are all in one playlist here Copyright 2015 Author: Sharon Ojala - Amigurumi To Go, All rights reserved

Read me ~> How to read the rows: Each row has a sequence as given below. Example: 1sc then 2sc in next st means repeat that sequence 1sc then 2sc in next st followed by 1sc then 2sc in next st over and over to the end of that particular row. The number inside the parentheses ( ~ ) is the number of stitches you should have at the end of that particular row.

Supplies: Red Heart Comfort yarn any color 4.0 mm or 4.5 mm hook *use a smaller hook if you see gaps in your stitches blunt end yarn needle for sewing scissors 100% polyester stuffing you can use buttons, a french knot or paint eyes on. I used 10 mm safety eyes that I glued in place and also buttons.optional* pipe cleaners for the ears and arms Abbreviations: st = stitch sc = single crochet ch1 = chain one sl st = slip stitch 2tog = crochet 2 stitches together f/o = finish off

The head and body are worked in one piece. If you plan to use safety eyes they are placed in between the 12th and 13th row with 7 visible stitches between them. The top of the muzzle is placed on the 12th or 13th row, whichever looks best to you. Whip stitch a nose in place before sewing the muzzle to the head. Click here for video tutorial. The video follows the same order as the written pattern. Add in a marker at the end of row 2 and move that marker at the end of every row.

Assembly: Refer to this part of the video where I show how to sew it all together 1) Sew the legs flat to the underside of the body. 2) The arms are sewn under the head, I sewed mine one ring down from the top of the neck. Add a s titch or 2 from under the arm to the body to tack the arm down if they are flaring out too far. 3) Whip stitch a nose in place before sewing the muzzle to the head. Stuff the muzzle and use lots of pins to hold it in place before sewing. The top of the muzzle is placed on the 13th row. 4) Sit the bunny down and see where the tail will look best then pin it on, use lots of pins then sew it in place unless you made a pom pom tail. Sew the pom pom on as is shown in the video. 5) Pin the ears on top of the head and play around with placement before sewing them in place.
