Crochet Bunny with Carrot House




What a difference a year makes. Last year I made the bunny and carrot house from Amigurumi Toy Box: Cute Crocheted Friends and I took the picture of my project outside on my porch. This year I altered the project a bit and there is two feet of snow outside. Not exactly the best time to be taking outside crochet pictures.



I decided to make another one this year for the littlest member of the family I send the Easter box to each year. He was born after Easter last year, so the carrot house went to his next oldest brother who was the youngest child, then.

I changed a few things with this year's project. First I used the bunny from Crochet Bunny with Carrot Car instead of the bunny from the book. The only downside to this is the bunny is a little bit larger than the bunny in the book. It makes the house a tighter fit. I also changed the green trimmings from those in the book to those of the car. I just liked the look better. Lastly, I played with some colors to give the bunny some clothing. I used up some scraps I had for his shirt and stuck with traditional blue for his pants.

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.
