Step-by-Step Instructions

Part 1: Bunny Legs

  1. Start with magic ring (MR): Make 4 SC into the ring (Round 1). Pull the yarn end to tighten the loop.
  2. Insert the stitch marker into the last stitch of the round. (Ensure the marker stays in the last stitch after completing each round).
  3. Round 2:
    • SC into the first stitch.
    • INC (2 SC in the next stitch) – repeat until row is complete. You should now have 6 stitches.

  4. Round 3 to Round 5: Continue working 6 SC per round (1 SC in each stitch for all three rounds).
  5. Rounds 6 and 7: Do another 2 rounds of 6 SC each. After completing the first leg, tie off using SLST, Chain 1, and cut yarn.
  6. Make the second leg WITHOUT tying off, as you’ll start forming the body by attaching the two legs together.

Part 2: Joining Legs and Forming the Body

  1. Attach the legs using chains: Chain 3 from the second leg, and join them to the first leg with a SC.
    • Work 6 SC on the first leg. Then work 3 SC across the chains and 6 SC across the second leg before working 3 SC along the chain backside (18 total stitches).
  2. Insert the stitch marker in the last stitch and keep track of rows!
