knit a bunny rabbit – 5 essential tips from Claire

1 Don’t overstuff

Definitely my number one tip when you knit a bunny rabbit – don’t over stuff! If you look at real bunnies they are quite loose-fleshy so try and emulate this with your stuffing – especially around the neck and chin and belly areas.

2 Take time to mould the face

Play around with the face squishing. By that I mean use you fingers to indent the eyes, finding that correct bunny face look, before working the stitches that will create the eventual ‘face squish’. Then add in your eyes.

 

3 Experiment with different yarn

I’ve just bought some hand-dyed yarn which has specks of brown within it which I can’t wait to try out with some mohair. Note: I love knitting with mohair but it’s not a suitable material for babies under one year old.

 

4 Consider ‘felting’ your bunny

If you wanted ‘extra’ fluffiness and you’ve used pure wool or alpaca – or maybe cashmere – why not slightly ‘felt’ your bunny? To do this: when the bunny is completed wash it in warm water with a tiny amount of liquid soap. Gently rub and agitate the toy by hand before rinsing out completely and rolling in a towel to remove excess water. Re-shape and sculpt then leave to dry away from direct heat.

 

5 Make bunny bespoke

If you wanted to embroider some distinct markings on your (knitted) bunny then you could work some ‘duplicate stitch’, i.e. embroidering the ‘v’ shape to mirror the already knitted stitch in patches over the body or face. Knit a bunny rabbit your way.

      Just love this bunny. I’ve downloaded the pattern but I get stuck on the section of the left hind leg. my bunny looks all out of proportion when I’ve done the short rows after row 38.

    I am about to start making this adorable bunny, I was noticing the stitch markers you have. I just have the rings. Will they work or will they be stuck in the bunny? Do I need to be able to take the markers out of the piece?

      yes, plastic makers are fine or just strands of coloured yarn – they must be removable though

    Is the black otter Rex rabbit pictured in your post yours? If so I can tell the front legs have been adapted. Would you care to share what you did differently? And any other adaptions you made. I love love love the shape of the Ottter Rex pictured. I just finished my first and I should have spent more time shaping before I sewed her up! I will be using these tips next time!

  • Reply Sunny November 21, 2019 at 5:00 pm

    Hello! I’m writing from the United States. I feel very lucky to have found your site and the Easter bunny pattern. I have just finished the tail (mine seems a little off but that’s fine). I plan on knitting some Christmas clothes for the bunny when I finish it. I think the shaping is absolutely amazing. I’ve never worked on a pattern like this and am awed. Thank you for offering it for free.

    When my sister and I were young, we dreamed of being British. My sister’s Brit name was Amelia Elizabeth Bentley (after the car), and mine was Sarah Elizabeth Crumpet (sorry – didn’t know what a crumpet was, just knew it was British). Now I have to revive those dreams, and hope that one day I can ‘Knit like a Brit.’

    • Reply Laura Dunkley November 23, 2019 at 8:27 am

      So lovely to hear from you and I LOVE your Brit name – I am quite partial to a buttered crumpet with a good cup of tea…! It’s great to have you here and I’m so glad you enjoyed making the bunny! X

        Hello loving this pattern! However I’m stuck on row 39/40 of page 3, where it tells you to cast on 7 at the beginning of each row. Does this mean to cast on 7 St and then to knit the row and then cast on 7 again before you purl?

  • Reply Susan January 19, 2020 at 8:16 pm

    Hello: Did anyone else find that row 61 said to knit 15 stitches to end and you had 16 stitches? I have a total of 43 stitches on the needle if I knit the 16 to end. Then cast on six for next row (49 stitches)? Once you get to row 63 there are two decreases which leave 47 on needle.

  • Reply Diana Grayson January 29, 2020 at 7:09 pm

    As noted several times in the comments, the instructions don’t include placement of the outer thigh marker but do refer to that marker later. The answer here is always the same, contact Claire directly. Perhaps you could contact her for clarification on thus point on post the answer rather than having each individual do so? Or post a link to updated directions where that oversight has been corrected? Much aporeciated!

    Hi, I love the bunny and am knitting it right now, but I’ve got to the belly and it says begin at left outer thigh marker etc. I’ve looked and looked at the pattern, but cannot find where it said I should have placed them, so I dont have any…..

    As someone who loves rabbits and had them for many years I want to tell you how realistic your rabbits are, it is truly amazing! Thank you also for providing the pattern for people who want to branch out of the normal knitting projects, I look forward to trying this.

    Thank you so much for the video on how to put the pieces together. I am right now at that point with my first bunny.

    Loving the Easter Bunny free pattern which I found through Hobbycraft on FB and have downloaded the latest one and I notice on Page 9 & 10 for the ears the wrong letter codes are given for the wools.

    They are given as B – peach mohair & C – Straw DK.
    At start of the pattern Straw dDK is coded as A.

    Fortunately the description and code are given so it’s easy to use the correct colours.

    Thought I’d mention here in case anyone else is confused.

    I am really thankful for this lovely free pattern and will be buying some of Claire’s other patterns as they are so beautiful. A very talented lady!
