MY FIRST BUNTY BUNNY....

We have actually named her Dandelion Rabbit, well Clemmie has, best not to ask sometimes ....

I have wanted to make a knitted rabbit for some time now, I have admired these beautiful rabbits made by Julie at Little Cotton Rabbits...

Julie sells gorgeous knitted animals in her Etsy shop, although she does not have any listed at the moment..

I don't think that she sells the patterns for her knitted animals, but she does sell patterns to make these little fellows, how cute are these !, I have bought the pattern for this egg cosy bunny, but more of that in another post...

Back to the knitted rabbit, after realising that Julie did not sell patterns I continued searching, and found these patterns....they are by Debi Birkin, I actually found them on periwinklepark on Etsy, but they can also be bought from the Debi Birkin website...



She's made using James Brett Kool cotton which is lovely to work with...

I made Dandelion with detachable shoes, so that they can be changed, as can her dress and bow.

I am so pleased with how she has turned out, as are three girls who are fighting over her as we speak, I think another two are definately called for...

My original idea was to have a rabbit that would have her own little suitcase of clothes and perhaps her own bed, I will have to look through my doll's clothes patterns to se what other clothing might be suitable, Hebe has requested a school uniform, and Clemmie would like her to be a Princess...

There is even a Bunty Bunny knit along on Ravelry where people are knitting a different themed Bunty for each month....
