MAGIC CIRCLE:
To avoid hole in the middle beg with this technique:
Hold yarn end in the left hand and make a loop around left index finger (from left to right). Hold the loop with left thumb and index finger. Insert needle through loop, get yarn from ball (i.e. place yarn 1 time over needle from you), pull yarn back through loop, 1 YO (now place yarn from the back and towards you) and pull YO through sts on needle, * insert needle through loop, 1 YO (place yarn from the back and towards you), pull YO through loop, 1 YO (from the back and towards you) and pull YO through outermost st on right needle (i.e. the last st made) *, repeat from *-* until there are 6 sts on needle. Then work as explained in pattern – AT THE SAME TIME pull yarn end so that loop is tighten tog and the hole disappears.
INCREASE TIP:
Inc 1 st by making 1 YO. On next round/row work YO twisted to avoid holes.
GARTER ST (back and forth on needle):
K all rows. 1 ridge = K2 rows.
STRIPES:
* 4 rounds/rows light pink, 4 rounds/rows off white *, repeat from *-*.
----------------------------------------------------------
HEAD:
Worked in the round on double pointed needles from snout and back.
Make a MAGIC CIRCLE with light beige - see explanation above = 6 sts on needle. Distribute sts on 3 double pointed needles size 3 mm / US 2.5 (work with fourth needle) and work in the round as follows:
ROUND 1: K all sts.
ROUND 2: * K 1, 1 YO *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 12 sts.
ROUND 3: K all sts (always K YOs twisted to avoid holes).
ROUND 4: * K 2, 1 YO *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 18 sts.
ROUND 5: K all sts.
ROUND 6: * K 3, 1 YO *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 24 sts.
ROUND 7: K all sts.
ROUND 8: * K 4, 1 YO *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 30 sts.
ROUND 9: K all sts.
ROUND 10: * K 5, 1 YO *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 36 sts.
ROUND 11-12: K all sts = 36 sts.
Insert 1 marker after the first 3 sts at beg of round and 1 marker after another 6 sts. Then inc 1 st inside the 2 markers - READ INCREASE TIP (= 2 sts inc). Repeat inc every other round 2 more times (= 3 inc in total in each side) = 42 sts.
ROUND 18-19: K all sts = 42 sts.
ROUND 20: * K 5, K 2 tog *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 36 sts.
ROUND 21: K all sts.
ROUND 22: * K 4, K 2 tog *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 30 sts.
ROUND 23: K all sts.
Continue dec like this on every other round (i.e. on every round with dec work 1 st less before working 2 sts tog = 6 sts dec per round) until 12 sts remain on needle, cut the yarn and pull it through sts on needle (without tightening).
Embroider eyes, mouth and snout with black, fill the head with poly stuffing, tighten tog sts and fasten (= mid back of head).
EAR:
Worked in the round from bottom up.
Cast on 8 sts with light beige and distribute sts on 2 double pointed needles (work with third needle).
ROUND 1-2: K all sts.
ROUND 3: * K 1, 1 YO, K 2, 1 YO, K 1 *, repeat from *-* 1 more time = 12 sts on needle.
ROUND 4: K all sts (always K YOs twisted to avoid holes).
ROUND 5: * K 1, 1 YO, K 4, 1 YO, K 1 *, repeat from *-* 1 more time = 16 sts on needle.
ROUND 6: K all sts.
ROUND 7: * K 1, 1 YO, K 6, 1 YO, K 1 *, repeat from *-* 1 more time = 20 sts on needle.
Then work in stockinette st in the round until piece measures approx. 5½ cm / 2¼”. Then dec as follows:
ROUND 1: * Slip 1 st as if to K, K 1, psso, K 6, K 2 tog *, repeat from *-* 1 more time = 16 sts.
ROUND 2: K all sts.
ROUND 3: * Slip 1 st as if to K, K 1, psso, K 4, K 2 tog *, repeat from *-* 1 more time = 12 sts.
ROUND 4: K all sts.
Continue dec like this every other round until 4 sts remain on needle (i.e. on every round with dec work 2 sts less between dec in each side). On next round K2 tog around.
Cut the yarn and pull it through sts, tighten tog and fasten.
Fold each side at the bottom of ear towards the middle so that a pleat is formed in the mid of ear. Sew tog at the bottom with a couple of stitches and fasten ear on head. Work another ear the same way.
BODY:
Worked in the round, top down.
Cast on 16 sts with light beige and distribute sts on 4 double pointed needles (work with fifth needle).
ROUND 1-2: K all sts.
ROUND 3: * K 2, 1 YO *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 24 sts.

Continue to dec as follows:
ROUND 1: * K 6, K 2 tog *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 42 sts.
ROUND 21: K all sts.
ROUND 22: * K 5, K 2 tog *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 36 sts.
ROUND 23: K all sts.
Continue dec like this on every other round (i.e. on every round with dec work 1 st less before working 2 sts tog = 6 sts dec per round) until 12 sts remain on needle, cut the yarn and pull it through sts on needle (without tightening). Fill body with poly stuffing, tighten tog sts on yarn and fasten. Sew head to body (pink should be down (= pants)).
LEG:
Worked back and forth, bottom up.
Cast on 30 sts on double pointed needles size 3 mm / US 2.5 with light beige. Work in stockinette st back and forth for 3 cm / 1’’. Then work as follows:

Est-ce vraiment 10 mailles pour les bras, il me semble que c'est peu. Merci

Bonjour Mme St-Jacques, il faut bien monter 10 mailles pour les bras et on tricote ensuite en jersey avec 1 m point mousse de chaque côté. Bon tricot!
22.03.2023 kl. 09:02Hei, Har spørsmål ang. hode. Lurer på om omgang starter i siden og bakover til bakhodet, eller i siden og fremover mot ansiktet? Ref. "Sett 1 merke etter de første 3 m på beg av omg og 1 merke etter ytterligere 6 m. Videre økes det 1 m på innsiden av de 2 merkene – LES ØKETIPS (= 2 m økt). Gjenta økningen på hver 2.omg, 2 ganger til (= totalt 3 økninger i hver side) = 42 m." er dette til ansiktet?
05.02.2023 - 18:04DROPS Design answered:
Hei Gry. Hodet strikkes rundt på fra snuten og bakover (mot bakhodet). Når du skal sette 2 merker i arbeidet og øke, er snuten/ansiktet allerede strikket, nå strikkes det rundt selve hodet. Etter 20. omgang starter fellingene til bakhodet. mvh DROPS Design
06.02.2023 kl. 11:54Er staan geen armen op van het konijn de mouw heeft ook geen hand anders zou ik denken dat dat de arm was voor op te vullen

Dag Nelly,
De armen van het konijn staan onder de paragraaf 'Voorpoot' :)
26.02.2022 kl. 16:23Ska börja på örat. Hur stickar man runt på 2 stickor? Får inte ihop det.
01.04.2019 - 22:05DROPS Design answered:
Hej. Du stickar på samma sätt som när du har fler stickor. och stickar runt. Du har i detta fall maskorna på två stickor och stickar med en tredje. Lycka till!

01.04.2019 kl. 09:36Stellt der Bereich zwischen den Markierungen am Kopf eine bestimmte Stelle dar?
07.03.2018 - 13:38DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Frau Böhm, 2 Markierungen werden eingesetzt, und danach nach 1. und vor 2. Markierung zunehmen. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
07.03.2018 kl. 15:53Stellt der Bereich zwischen den Markierungen am Kopf eine bestimmte Stelle dar???
03.03.2018 - 16:54Beim Übergang zu rosa am Bein soll man nach der ersten Reihe 23 Maschen auf der Nadel haben. Das geht jedoch nicht auf, da das Bein aus "zwei" Teilen besteht und 23 nicht durch 2 teilbar ist. Zudem stricke ich den Bär in Nadelstärke 4, da die Beine ansonsten viel zu dünn würden und keinesfalls die Stärke des Fotos erreichen würden.

Liebe Frau Böhm, bei der 3. Reihe werden Sie (2 re, 1 Umschlag) stricken = 34 M am Ende der 3. Reihe. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
09.02.2018 kl. 09:17Glem det spørsmålet, oppdaget feilen selv 😊
12.06.2017 - 15:07Hei, jeg driver for øyeblikket med benet til kaninen, men skjønner ikke helt hva jeg skal gjøre med foten? Har felt av de 14 maskene så de danner et hull eller løkke eller hva dere vil kalle det, men står ikke noe mer om hva man gjør med dette hullet? Syr jeg det sammen så blir det jo verdens minste fot? 🙈
12.06.2017 - 15:01DROPS Design answered:
Hei Cindy Marie, Benet strikkes nedenfra og opp så du burde ha begynt med foten of avslutte på toppen av benet. De 14 felte maskene er hullet i benet hvor du skal fylle benet med vatt. Så da fortsetter du oppover benet og syr sammen hullet etter du har fylt benet. Håper dette hjelper, Med vennlig hilsen, Deirdre
