Bunnies!

[nonelvis]

Three tiny bunnies I made for platypus:





Made with scrap yarn from this free Mochi Mochi Land pattern. NGL, they're a little bit of a pain in the ass; you knit them on #1 circular needles or dpns, and the final bunny is the size of a jumbo olive. On the other hand, they're only a pain in the ass for about 45 minutes, and at the end of it, you have a tiny, adorable stuffed bunny whose adorableness can only be improved by making more.

I made one, but I don't know DPNs well enough to handle something this tiny, so, after several failed attempts with the size 1's, I used size 2 regular needles and made a seam on the tummy. It was about the size of a small egg, and looked just fine, I thought. Completely forgot to take a picture before I mailed it! It was variegated light greens and white, with an off-white tail. The ears were a bit difficult to pull through one of those teeny stitches, because I made them three stitches wide. But the finished product was darling, if a bit larger than your little cuties.

I figured the pattern was probably pretty flexible, since the yarn I used was a little heavier than what I was really supposed to be using (which probably also explains some of the difficulty I ran into using such tiny needles). And yes, pulling that bit of i-cord through the stitches is much harder than it sounds! It got easier once I figured out I had to loosen the hell out of those two stitches before pulling the i-cord through.

If you do make another one, I'd love to see a photo of how it turns out!
