Fasten off and leave a short tail for weaving in.
Red Ribbon (in Tomato yarn)
step 1: Hold the hat with the brim facing upwards.
step 2: Create a slipknot in Tomato yarn and insert your hook into the hat 1 rnd away from the brim (from the outside in). We will be making “surface stitches”.
step 3: Pull the slipknot through from the inside out. Loosely slst all around the hat. [14]
step 4: Bury the tails into the inside of the hat.
Do not stuff. Stretch out the brim so it lays flat.
Bunny (in White yarn)
*Working in a spiral
rnd 1: Make a magic circle and (sc) x6 [6]
rnd 2: (inc) x6 [12]
rnds 3-4 (2 rnds total): sc all around [12]
rnd 5: (2 sc, dec) x3 [9]
Next, we will create the body and arms.
rnd 6: (flo) – slst, ch 4, slst into the second st from the hook, slst into the next 2 ch, slst into the same st we originally came out of. This completes one arm. (In both loops) sc into the next 2 sts, repeat the colored text to create the other arm, (in both loops) 5 sc [9]
Insert the safety eyes between rnds 3-4, 3 sts apart. Stuff the head well and stuff the body as you go. You may also choose to insert the eyes at the end with glue as I show in the video tutorial.
rnd 7: sc all around, going into the loops left behind from each arm [9]
rnd 8: sc all around [9]
rnd 9: (sc, dec) x3 [6]
Fasten off and leave a short tail for sewing. Stuff a little more.
Sew the hole closed with your yarn needle by going through the (flo) of each st and then pulling tight.
Ears (make two in white yarn)
Make a slipknot and ch 7, slst into the second ch from the hook, 5 slst [5]
Fasten off and leave a short tail for sewing.
Assembly
Ears: Sew each ear between rnds 1-2, centering them with the eyes. Fold them over.
Nose: Cut a strand of coral embroidery thread and create the nose between the eyes, 1 st wide. You’ll need to go in between the “x” shaped sts.
Bunny/Hat: Secure the bunny into the hat with glue.
You’re finished!
