Amigurumi Crocheted Bunny

Okay, I'm addicted to crocheting. Ever since learning how during the crochet-along put on by Maybe Matilda, I've loved it. Last night I even had dreams about crocheting. Okay, maybe that's a little odd, but I'm pregnant and my dreams are extra weird, and I was crocheting all evening...

ANYWAY, my second finished project was this bunny. I love crocheted animals, and amigurumi (I'ved discovered) is a practice of crocheting little animals. Lion Brand has a bunch of free crochet patterns (actually where the time out cowl pattern came from) many of them amigurumi animals. Being my second crochet project ever, I was a little concerned about how hard making an actual bunny would be. When I would knit, all I could make were scarves. But the instructions said easy so I printed them out and went ahead. Since I had learned how to decipher patterns through the crochet-along, it wasn't actually that hard. Once I learned how to crochet a round, everything else was pretty straightforward. I used this pattern, but added a bow and skipped adding a mouth and nose (I tried, but it just didn't look right).

I love it! So cute! Madelyn really likes it too. And she had total confidence in my abilities while I was making it :) I kept telling her I was making a bunny, even before it had and arms, legs, or ears attached, and she kept pointing at it and saying "make a bunny" even when it looked more like a fat snake. 



I have at least four more crochet projects in the works... a hat for Madelyn, a hat for baby, a baby blanket, and an amigurumi giraffe.
