Here are the results of 2 of the many great bunny tutorials I’ve seen this past week. With Little Bit’s Easter basket to fill I figured these would be perfect.

I found The Purl Bee’s finger puppet bunny tutorial through Lil Fish Studios.  Lil Fish also used recycled wool for her bunnies!

They work up really quick!  I made this one this afternoon.
He was made from leftover felted cashmere sweater scraps.  I made a little cashmere scrap tail for him, instead of a pompom.  I used wool yarn for the nose, eyes, and hand sewing the body.  I didn’t change anything about the pattern, as it is perfect just the way it is!

Tutorial 2 is one I just happened upon after seeing a different bunny that my cousin was making.  I went to the site where she got her pattern and found this one by accident.  It is called RevoluzZzionary Easter Bunny, but I just call it Lovey Bunny because of it’s heart.


I worked on this one during 2 evenings.  I changed a couple of things about this pattern to suit what I wanted it to look like.  I added the ear and tail applique to give it a little something extra.  I also changed the shape across the bottom.  The pattern calls for it to be straight across, but as I was beginning to stitch up the bottom after stuffing I altered it to look a little more like feet.
I used a wool yarn for the eyes, nose, and all the applique stitching.  Lovey Bunny’s body and appliques are recycled cashmere sweaters!
















I used the really small  left over scraps from cashmere sweaters and Wool yarn bits to stuff Lovey Bunny…. here he is getting stuffed.
