Easter bunny amgurumi or a finger puppet - free pattern!



This is a pattern for a little bunny. He’s 2.5” tall (with ears), so he’ll nicely stick out from your Easter basket or any other spring decoration. Oh, and there’s also his pal, a bunny finger puppet. Of course, they’ll be happy to keep you company, not only during Easter. I hope you’ll enjoy making both!
Just be careful, they’re both quite sneaky… and a bit crazy.
If you're on Ravelry, please, feel free to join my Easter CAL featuring these little cuties :) Here!

- yarn: 100% acrylic, sport yarn
              gray and white
