The key takeaways are that the pattern provides instructions to knit a cute bunny using circular needles and the magic loop method. Various increases are used to shape the head, body, ears and limbs. Safety eyes or beads are used for the face and embroidery is used for details.

The bunny is constructed by knitting the head, body, ears and four limbs in the round using increases and decreases to shape them. The pieces are then assembled by sewing them together and adding details like the nose and tail.

The materials needed are gray DK yarn, white novelty yarn, 2.5mm circular needles, stuffing, safety eyes or black beads, and black thread for embroidery.

Baby bunny
Hope you’ll enjoy this cute bunny pattern! It’ll be perfect if you need a quick
knit before Easter or just want a tiny little friend to keep you company.
The bunny measures 9cm/3.5” (with ears, standing).

Notes:
Bunny’s head, body and legs are made in the round, on 32” (80cm) circular needles, using
the magic loop method (see details here). Cast on with your favorite method and join to
work in the round.

Head and body require stuffing. Please stuff these parts as you go.

Increasing
There are several ways to increase, my favorite is knitting the right loop (KRL) method, but
you can also use make one right (M1R) or knit front and back of a loop (KFB). I don’t
recommend the last one, though, as it’s a bit more visible than the other increases. The only
time I use KFB is at the first row. Because of the multiple options here, the increase in the
pattern will be referred to as m1 (make one) and you can decide which method you’ll use for
this (KRL or M1R). To see how to make all of them click here.

At the end of the file you’ll find printable version of the pattern. To go there click here.

Assembling:
Sew the ears (and eyes, if you haven't used the safety eyes) on the head. Embroider the nose

Attach the legs and arms to the body. If you want the joints to
be movable, pull the thread through a limb and into the body
always in the same place. Also try to insert the needle between
the stitches, not through them. When you’re done, pull the
ends through the body opening, tie them together and hide
inside of the body. Embroider the tail using white novelty
yarn.
Sew the head to the body.
And you’re done! :)
