Rd 7: Rep Rd 5 Work 2 halves crocheting an extra Rd 5 for the top half. Assembly: Flatten one side of the Styrofoam egg by gently pressing against tabletop or hard surface. Just enough to flatten one side. Mark that side as the bottom. Wrap the Styrofoam egg in the plastic wrap being sure that no Styrofoam is exposed. Mix the stiffening agent as directed. (I used good old Elmer's glue mixed in a 2:1 ratio>2 parts glue to 1 part water, stir until thinned.) Dip the bottom portion of egg into the mixture, dab with paper towel to absorb excess mixture. With Rust resistant T pins, fit egg bottom snuggly onto Styrofoam

plastic wrap covered egg, pin into place, lightly stretching to have the edges of piece going about middle of egg. Allow piece to dry. (ET of drying, refer to drying agent instructions. For the glue mix, about 3 hrs but best if longer or overnight. The old hair dryer can speed things up!) Remove T pins from piece but keep the piece on the egg form. With small amount of plastic wrap, wrap the top edges of the egg piece. (It should stay in place by clinging to the other wrap.) Dip other piece into stiffener, blot for excess, pin over the bottom piece making sure that the last row of top piece overlaps the top row of the bottom piece. Allow to dry overnight. Now for the fun part, with trusty glue gun in hand, embellish top half of egg as desired.

Friendly Bunny Basket By: Shehnaaz Afzar of Crochet Dreamz

Dimensions of the finished bag: 5 inches in diameter at the bottom, 3 inches in diameter at the top and 4 inches in height. Gauge Using Hook H and working in hdc, 8 rounds measured 5 inches in diameter as shown in the picture.

Materials  Worsted weight yarn in 3 colors. You need only a small amount of yarn for the ears and the flower  Hook- H (5mm) or the hook needed to attain gauge  Yarn needle (Blunt sewing needle with big eye) and matching thread. Size Fit for a kid. This basket is compact and I think that is what is helping it hold its shape even if worked using a single strand of yarn.

Stitch Abbreviations Pattern is in standard American terms. sc- single crochet sl st- slip stitch hdc- half double crochet dc -double crochet tr- triple crochet ch- chain Stitch Explanation 1. Triple crochet ( tr): Yarn over twice, insert hook into the next

K/10 ½-6.50mm hook Any worsted weight yarn in bunny color and brown (I use Red Heart 100% acrylic) Needlepoint needle Polyester fiber filling

Abbreviations: Ch: chain Sc: single crochet Sl: slip Hdc: half double crochet

Dc: double crochet Tr: treble crochet Dec: decrease, pull up a loop in next 2 sc, yarn over (YO) and draw all 3 loops on the hook Instructions: Make an adjustable ring (or ch 2 and use the 2nd ch loop from hook); 10 sc into the ring (or loop); pull the tail of ring to tighten and join. Ch 1; 2sc into that stitch and each sc; join (20 sc) Ch 1; 2sc into that stitch, sc in next stitch (2sc, sc around); join (30 sc) Ch 1; 2sc into that stitch, sc in next, sc in next (2sc, sc, sc around); join (40 sc) Ch 1; 2sc into that stitch, sc in next, sc in next, sc in next (2sc, sc, sc, sc around); join (50 sc) This forms the bottom circle of the body.

Repeat the above instructions to make the “back” of the bunny, but do not finish off. Sc around the entire body, including the ears. If there are inner and outer loops, sc using the inner loops to give the bunny depth. Stuff the bunny when it is 2/3 finished. Stuff the ears when you are almost done with the sc around them. Be sure not to overstuff the ears, as the stuffing will show through. Finish off.

This is the “front” of the bunny. With a brown yarn and needlepoint needle, make two eyes and a nose. I came up with the needle and made a circle with the yarn as if I were making a “lazy daisy” and went down into the same hole. Stitch around the circle a few times to tack it in place and then fill in the center as best you can. You could also use beads to make more uniform eyes and nose. If the ears seem loosely connected to the body, take a needlepoint needle and the same yarn you used, and make a few stitches between Find tons of free crochet patterns, tips and tutorials at AllFreeCrochet.com.
