Meet Bunny #1

Well, it’s the top half of Bunny #1, or maybe the top third.  She still needs her body, her legs and her arms.

Please excuse the toilet paper roll she’s perched upon.  I still don’t know what color “stockings” and shoes she’s going to get.

The bunny is knit with 3 mm needles so as to have a very tightly woven fabric and it’s kinda hard on my hands.  I want to make several colored bunnies but I can’t wait to start making the clothes!

Aren’t they cute?  Can’t you just see how much fun Addie will have in a few years dressing these little things?  She’ll probably be like her mom and dad and rather be out hunting and trapping instead of inside playing with dolls and bunnies.  🙁

  1. I’ve been waiting for you to do the bunny! It’s so cute – I love it! I can’t wait to see more. I may have to make one myself. Boy, my To-Do list is getting long 🙁

  2. Now I’ve got to make a few of these precious bunnys!!! I love that you’ve got her head on a TP roll! Ingenuity is the mother of invention!

  3. Cute, cute, cute bunny. My grand daughters are 10 & 4 (almost) 5 and do not play with dolls. I have lots of “I would like to do” but seeing yours make me want to add a bunny to the list.

  4. Love it! I hate to knit, and my grandson would not appreciate it, but oh it’s soooooo cute! Thanks for my morning reading, I’m never sure what will be posted. 🙂

  7. How adorable and how glad I am that my grandkids are past the bunny stage! I can’t wait to see her attire. Love the guernsey wrap – it’s on my list to do.

  10. I really liked your idea of red and white stockings with a green dress for Christmas and a blue dress for Independance Day and a red dress for Valentines day and ….

  11. aw that is SO cute! Just knit a couple of “hunting” outfits for them so Addie can dress them and take with her 🙂

  13. These are going to be adorable! So looking forward to seeing he Bunny progress into her clothes.

  14. Judy ~ I love that little bunny! I can hardly wait to see the finished bunny & some clothes! My one daughter did not care for dolls & was really an outdoorsie type of kid but we wanted her to have opportunities & to make choices. She had a little stuffed bear my mom sewed clothes for & she had so much fun dressing – changing her clothes. My grandmother also crocheted clothes & afghans for the bear. I think she was about 2.5 yrs. old when she first got “bear”. It was nice that she enjoyed her “bear” especially on a rainy/bad weather day or sick day or just whenever she wanted. When she was older the bear rode in her trike than her bike basket. Oh, such memories!! I think you are just beginning to start some wonderful times!! Penny in S CA

  16. It’s adorable! Even little girls who like the outdoors and hunting have days that have to be spent inside. =) Besides, I think that she’s going to share some things with her grandma, too.

  17. She’s so cute! I can’t believe you have the head done already. How long did it take you?

  18. So cute…another thing that makes me think I should learn to knit (better). Probably not going to happen!

  19. So cute Judy. Even grownups like bunnies, so if Addie doesn’t like it right now, she will treasure it later in life. Can’t wait to see the finished and dressed version.

  21. I’ve got that pattern. they are so cute and easy to make. Its a very well written pattern. The dresses pattern is good too. I cant wait until Julie does other animals. Cant quite come at the foxes, they are a pest in Aust. Another good rabbit and teddy pattern is from Mary Jane’s Tearoom.

  22. I sent my first little bunny girl to a friends granddaughter in Thailand. Now have to knit 3 for my own granddaughters for stocking fillers.
