Bunny Couple

Continuing on with my 2022 Easter catch up posts. I made this Easter couple to go with the cottage I posted about yesterday.

You can find the free pattern for Lily and Levi here. As you can see I started with Levi and realized with the suggested hook size Levi was going to be too large for my Easter play set so the first one became part of my Easter decorations for 2022. Not great loss there as he is adorable.

This was a great stash busting project so I did need to change colors when I made the second Levi for the Easter set as I'd finished off the left over dark blue I'd started with when I made the first bunny.

Not sure if I ended up with a D or a C hook for these but I believe it was a D. Not sure the C would have worked well with this yarn.

Sweetie Bunny

I was very fortunate to receive the Easter Bunny Gang from a very thoughtful Fairy Godmother as part of Crochetville's Wishlists. I started with Sweetie Bunny and I didn't quite get the white pattern the way I wanted it, I thought it was a great start. I love the hat that finishes off the outfit.

There are four different bunnies in this pattern although one repeats a pattern with different colors and a different style of eye. These work up quickly and are great additions for Easter baskets or just for fun ami's.

I have three finished and one more to do. I have to finish my amigurumi swap and then I can get back to my Easter box. They both have about the same deadline.

Crochet Bunny with Carrot Car

I was working through the patterns I wanted to crochet for Easter baskets and I remembered the Crochet Bunny Carrot Car I received as part of a Crochetville Wishlist. It is available for purchase here.

This is one of the cuter bunny patterns I have made and I actually used it as a substitute in another bunny project I will be blogging about this week. I love the ears. I added a safety nose, which the pattern does not use. I have to find a source for bunny noses. My supply is almost out as they were part of a swap gift. I have not seen any locally, I will have to search online.

I am thinking about making this into an icicle car and using a polar bear for a winter themed car for a winter toy. I have a relative with a December birthday and I am always trying to find non-Christmas themed toys to make for his birthday. Usually I am in a Christmas making mode, so if I start on it after Easter, I can put it away and have it ready.

Bunny with Carrot House

The bunny with his carrot home pattern comes from Ana Paula Rimoli's Amigurumi Toy Box: Cute Crocheted Friends that I bought ages ago and picked up again while trying to find projects for my ami swap. While nothing worked for the swap, this bunny was perfect for my Easter box.

I did make a couple of changes. I chose to sew the top on with a small hinge like attachment. I know where this toy is headed. Within five minutes, carrot top and bottom will never meet again if they are not attached. I liked her design of having the two separate pieces; I just knew it would not work for my destination. For other changes, I made the feet on my bunny flat, added whiskers, and used a safety nose.

This project works up quick and is a great Easter toy. It also reminded me I do need to visit my book collections more frequently.

Blue Bunny

My husband bought Super-Cute Crochet: Over 35 Adorable Animals and Friends to Make. He recently picked out this bunny to decorate his office this spring.

The faces of these characters are different from previous ami's I have made. What I have traditionally used as the bottom of the head is used as the front and back of the character's head. These animals work up quickly and I plan to make several of them for Easter baskets this year. I also am planning to experiment with the Kitty pattern that has the look of a Hello Kitty pattern. There is a dress pattern for the kitten and I am thinking about experimenting with it for St. Patrick’s Day.

I am currently working on the chicken pattern. These patterns are cute, but much simpler than the ami's found in Amigurumi World: Seriously Cute Crochet. This would actually be a great book for those looking for patterns to learn amigurumi. The patterns are more attractive than many of the beginning patterns I have seen. The directions are clear and easy to follow. The details are not too challenging to follow.
