EASTER BUNNY - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The piece is worked from the middle outwards – the whole piece is worked without cutting the strand.
STIFFENING
So the Easter Bunny will hang nicely, it can be dipped in sugared water or colourless fizzy drink and lain flat to dry.
EASTER BUNNY:
The piece is worked with hook size 3 mm. Follow diagram A.1, starting with the symbol in the middle - so, work 5 chain stitches and form them into a ring with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch – continue following the diagram onwards. REMEMBER THE CROCHET TENSION. When the diagram is finished, cut the strand and pull it through. If you would like the Easter Bunny a little stiff, read STIFFENING above.
