Introducing the Bunny Family!
This is Bob, his bunny wife Bob, and their bunny kids, Bob, Bob and Bob.
(We are huge Sandra Boynton Fans and love 15 animals so I couldn't resist)
These guys are a fantastic fast project just in time for Easter. There is still a month and a half before Easter which will give you plenty of time to make your own Bunny Family with tons of little babies. Usually I love making huge oversized knit toys but I wanted to try something a lot smaller this time. The Parent Bunnies are only 6 inches tall and the Baby Bunnies are under 3 inches tall. The whole family will knit up super quick!
I'm glad I tried making a small project this time because my little guy loves them. Every time I finished one of the Bunnies they would disappear out of my knitting basket. I guess Jake loves the little size because they fit perfectly in his little hands. None of my other finished knit projects have gotten this much love from him so I guess it's time to start making some smaller projects for Jake.
Each bunny is worked in the round on double pointed needles. My favorite part of these little guys is that the ears are worked as one piece with the body so you don't have to try and sew ears on symmetrically when you are done knitting. I don't know about you but I can never get my sewn on ears to look right.
Enjoy
