Fun Knitting Project

More than a month ago I started on a fun knitting project for Easter.  Because I have come to believe that too much sugar is bad for bodies, I decided not to send Cadbury eggs to our family for this year's holiday.  This is what I made and sent instead.

They are cute in a silly sort of way. At least I think so.  They are a bit hard to see but...they are bunnies with  goo-goo eyes, a pink or purple tiny pom pom nose, and a larger handmade white or cream colored pom pom.

The bunny is made from a knitted square then a triangle stitched in, pulled up tight and filled with fluff.  After the bunny is ready, eyes, nose, and tail are attached.  I used hot glue. I knitted the bunnies with garter stitch, worsted weight yarn, and US size 11.  (The needle size was ill-advised.  It should have been maybe a size 8 or 7 instead.  Still, they are fairly cute as is.)


These squares can also be knitted in stocking stitch.  They can also be crocheted.  You just need a square.
