Assembling the Toy

Sew the ears to the sides of the top of the head. Sew the arms between rounds 14 and 15, not exactly on the sides but a little closer to the tummy. Sew the legs on the sides at the same level as the ears, around rounds 27-28.

To attach the arms and legs, use either thread-joint or button-joint attachment so they can move playfully. Sew the tail centered on the back; it will serve as extra support.

Embroider the nose between rounds 11 and 12 (about 3-4 stitches long). Attach the eyes at the same level, with 2 stitches between the nose and each eye. If you used fluffy yarn, brush the bunny with hook-and-loop tape.

Your spring bunny is ready!
