Bunny with Love Heart Tutorial

Thank you for joining me! Are you ready to get started? Below I have outlined all the supplies you will need. I would advise to make the love heart with a bigger sized hook than the bunny. The love heart is meant to stand out more so you don’t want to end up with a heart that is too small.

If you choose to use DK acrylic yarn for both the heart and the bunny, I would advise using a hook size in 3.5mm to 4.0mm hook for the heart and a full size down for the bunny, 2.5mm or 3.00mm hook.

As always, I appreciate any feedback so please feel free to contact me with any questions. You can leave feedback here

Happy Woolly Magicing!

Supplies:

DK Cotton Yarn/DK Acrylic Yarn

Polyester stuffing

Scissors and sewing needle

2.5mm crochet hook for head, ears, arms & legs. I used

3.5mm crochet hook for heart. I used Hayfield DK Classic Red

2 x safety eyes, 8mm in size

1 x pink nose, 8mm in size

Black embroidery thread or black yarn

**This pattern is not mine, it is from this website https://amigurum.com/. All photos & video tutorials have been created, filmed and edited by me***

Skill Level: Beginner

Abbreviations:

sl st = slip stitch

sc = single crochet

inc = increase, 2 sc in one st

inv dec = decrease, 2 sc together

(..) = repeat the number in the brackets

[..] = total number of stitches

I decided to include the invisible decrease (INV DEC) stitch in this tutorial. If you find it too difficult just continue with the normal decrease stitch (DEC).

You can put the black thread on each leg at this point or wait until the legs are sewn on to the heart first. I waited until both legs were sewn on then added the black thread.
