Free Crochet Pattern: A Kitty Rabbit Redo

originally published on momwithahook.blogspot.com 6/24/2009

This is my crochet version of the Knitted pattern download by ysolda.me.uk. http://ysolda.com/patterns/patterns/ I found this online a while ago and thought it would a cute little stuffie to make for a wee one.

While on vacation at the beginning of the month I finally had the time to make it up into a crochet pattern.

End off

Fold in half, sew up sides, stuff with a bit of fiber fill the sew arms to sides of ‘Cat/Bunny’ just below the head/neck.

Assembly:

Eyes and Heart - You will want to sew on the eyes (I used ‘X’ for an eye and then a Heart) You could use safety eyes or like the creator of the stuffie(if you used wool yarn) you can needle felt the eyes and heart onto the cat/bunny.

Place Front and Back together. Sew up legs, sides, and neck with tapestry needle. Leave the top of the head open. Stuff with fiber fill making sure to get the legs and neck so they don’t ‘wobble’. Once the head is stuffed, sew up remaining opening.
