The little bunny loves to hop across the meadow or to explore the forest. As soon as it is tired, though, there is nothing more comforting than cuddling close to Mummy and marvel at the wonders of nature. During the day it is fun to watch the butterflies flutter around, and in the nighttime it is a magic experience to gaze together at the sparkling stars.

With this cowl your child is accompanied loyally by these two cuddly bunnies. Depending on the yarn you use resp. depending on the gauge, the size fits for smaller children of about 2-4 years, or for older children from about 4 years on.

This cowl is knitted in the Double Knitting Technique. Thus, it is extra soft and warm for your child, and it looks beautiful on both sides.

Here you will find the pattern for a matching comforter / wash cloth, also double knitted:
