One bunny down (for Daughter C), one bunny to go (for Daughter Z):

Carat with and without Carrot!

Don't you want to reach out and give him a hug?

He's an amigurumi bunny that I designed just for the spring :D His pattern includes the carrot - I actually have lots and lots of carrots created for this bunny as they actually do double duty as cat toys.

I stuffed some with catnip, as they are about the same size as the catnip mice I can get at the petshop - I think my cats love em with and without catnip, and they especially like the curly carrot tops. LOL.

For a while, I was cranking out these little guys and the house started looking like the set from Wallace & Grommit's Curse of the Wererabbit!

A bun for a baby :)

Desperate for a quick knitted gift, I did up this bunny for a friend's baby.

From the Heartstrings Bunny Pattern and a swatch knit from Lion Brand Homespun, this little bun was born. Unfortunately he was a bit difficult to photograph indoors, so the front on shot is a little dark.

I love how his little ears curl around. I think he'll become a regular in the repertoire as he's quick to churn out and is baby-safe too :) Very important considering the number of baby gifts I need to get together!

Of course, I couldn't leave you without a tail shot :)

I made his tail with some home-made pompom templates. Gotta love a nice fluffy tail :D

Laurie's bunny

Bunny Sweater

I made this sweater last fall for my niece, so it's not technically easter (or pagan bunny worship day as I prefer to call it). This sweater is a combination of a baby cardigan pattern from knitty and some bunnies that I took from another pattern. I added french knot tails to the bunnies.



I'm excited about bunny themed knitting, so I will come up with some other bunnies to add!

Blue Bun

Here are some photographs of Blue Bun. I sat him in the yellow tulips to make him look more Eastery.

He is of course the Small Rabbit from Debbie Bliss's 'Toy Knits', knitted in Sirdar Donegal Tweed DK: his sweater is Lorna's Laces Worsted in Black Watch.

The first sweater I knitted was a bit small so I knitted him another one so that he was decently covered and warm enough. None of the rabbits in that book have tails – why is that? I think I'll have to make him a tail, as I'm giving him as a present and I'm bound to be asked why he doesn't have one. He's going to go and live with my friend Gail.

I'm planning to do the Angel Rabbit as well, and maybe the Ballerina Rabbit, but I have one or two other things on the needles which I should finish first….

boing boing bunny

i've just joined this adorable and inspired site, thank you for including me. and I'm so in love with my first, just finished bunny baby. yarn is artfibers kyoto & bunny pattern by the amazing jess hutch.

Love the buns!!!

Here's a trio of bunnies -my first is on the left - all garter stitch :). He was done quite a while ago when I was still learning how to knit.

The second followed the pattern a little more faithfully, except I think the swatch was bigger to start with. The third, well, let's just say I was trying for that angora look.

And now for the buns' bun view:

Here's one I did in hot pink fuzzy synthetic. She's one of my faves, but I gave her away to a good home.

I think I need to try some other patterns!

Bunny!

Here is my (first) bunny. Its made from one skein of Elann Peruvian Highland wool, using the pattern by Jess Hutch. I just ordered 'Last-Minute Knitted Gifts' off of Barnes & Noble (I wish they'd stop sending me coupons...) and I want to make the bunny from there too.

Bunny Finger Puppet

This little guy was made from Creative Paperclay, with curly wool for the carrot greens... and lots of good bunny vibes.

GIANT pink bunny

(Edited by Theresa to add bunny picture which was too good to let get lost...)

The Yarn Harlot's bunny

Rainbow Bun

This is Zeke, a bunny I made for Easter for my stepkids. I bought the pattern from Purple Kitty but modified it quite a bit as I went - especially the ears and tail. His eyes are pearlized lilac buttons. Zeke was not popular with Blackberry, the real bun of the house, and was glad to escape to the other house. He is now quite battered and a lop due to excessive loving. May we all be so lucky! :)

Red Bunny

I made this little guy for my bestfriend's birthday using Red Heart yarn and the stuffing from an old blanket. He now resides in Georgia.

Last Minute Knitted Bunny

Meet Pants. He's named pants because it looked like I was knitting a little pair of pants for most of his creation. Pants! Hehe!

Made from Joann's Angel Hair in the "Sensations" line and Bernat Soft Boucle for the ears and nose. Mmm...fuzzy! Cute little eyes to boot!

Big butt bunny

Poor HeartStrings FiberArts Bunny. You've got a big old butt. My friend was right last night. I went home after our knitting meet, and finished it off and wow, it has a big old butt.

Good thing its cute. Barely put a dent in my leftover homespun. Boo!

Linguini the bunny

Meet Linguini. He can't hold his head up, poor guy. He's limp like a noodle! Also, his ears are the same length, he just chose for them to be portrayed differently in this photoshoot. I might have (okay I DID!) attached his head on backwards. But he looks cute with a big butt!


Meet Linguini's butt. Its fuzzy and cute :)

He's made from Bernat Soft Boucle. I still have a lot of that darn stuff still! Pattern is from here.

Finally Finished Bunny!

Bunny-A-Long on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

This little guy is quite at home in my Chicago spring garden...He is now waiting patiently in a friend's crib for a baby girl to arrive and keep him company!

Fuzzy Bunny Feet!

Hi, I'm Shannon! I finally finished one of my bunny projects!

Project: Fuzzy (bunny) Feet care of Knitty.com. Yarn: Knit Picks Elegance in Coal, 2+ balls. Plymouth Bamboo DPN's, size 10. Ears from Stitch and Bitch Nation.



These were pretty quick. Alpaca felts well, but smells like nasty perm solution when wet. Oh, and if you ARE felting Alpaca, do it in a pillow case. I did and I'm really glad. There's fuzzies EVERYWHERE inside it! I'm still not sure if I like where the ears were. The fuzzy bunny tails did not turn out. I've consulted the many pairs of fuzzy bunny slippers I have and can't decide. No nose has been embroidered yet, but will be! DPN's kill me, so these (without the ears) will not be gifts. Too bad.

Raven (my bunny) has figured out that they are me, so no bunny pals for her. However, she has taken to grooming my OTHER bunny slippers (and throwing them around) that are a realistic blue colour :P

Action shot!

Talia's rabbit

So, this is the rabbit I made for my niece Talia's birthday. She'll be three next week.




I used Legs as a jumping off point but made this one a bit larger, with different ears, a fat belly and legs, and a tail (which you can't see in this shot). If I do it again, I'll be more careful about smoothing out the batting in the legs and I'll use a bit less in the belly. As is, my husband swears this rabbit could be off of Newspaper Rock, what with the arms that like to be straight up in the air and the big belly. I can accept that. I used Knit Picks Wool of the Andes in Carrot, and it felted very nicely. I need to embroider a face onto this bunny. Or maybe not.
