FINISHED SIZE:

IMPORTANT

I recommend to use yarn YarnArt «JEANS» (55% cotton, 45% acrylic; 174 yards/50g) for the bunny and 2 or 2.5 mm hook. You can use any sport or worsted yarn for your bunny if the yardage is approx. the same with Jeans yarn. I used mix wool yarn with a mohair effect.

Recommended gauge for the design of alternating SL ST and HDC:
12 stitches = 5 cm,
19 rows = 5 cm.

If your gauge differs from the recommended significantly, try crocheting with bigger or smaller size hook, depending on how tight or lose you tend to crochet.
