It’s bunny time!!! That’s right – Easter and Spring are right around the corner and what could be cuter than a hand-knit bunny – or two, or three (you know how bunnies are!) for that special child’s Easter basket?
We will begin this project on March 1 and end on March 15. Each meeting is from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m.
You have two bunnies to choose from – either knit or crochet!
Our knit bunny is BonBon– a little cutie that can be created with just about any weight of yarn. You can find the pattern on Ravelry for just $6. He (or she) is worked completely in the round and all the pieces are attached as you work – NO SEAMING!!!
