🌿 Eco-Friendly Crafting

What makes this crochet pattern eco-friendly and sustainable?

THE YARN: I use only sustainable and eco-friendly yarn that has been ethically grown/raised and processed, putting the people and the planet first. This is why I chose 100% natural yarn for this pattern.

HANDMADE FOR LONGEVITY: Creating your own gifts and kids’ toys promotes mindful consumption. This durable, handmade bunny lovey reduces the need for mass-produced alternatives.

THE SLOW YARN MOVEMENT: I’m participating in the Slow Yarn Movement. There’s far too much to talk about here, but please take a few minutes to learn about what this means by reading the article I wrote about the Slow Yarn Movement as part of my 6-part Sustainable Crochet Series.

If you’re interested in learning more about sustainable crochet you can read all about it in the 6-part series I wrote covering everything about Sustainable Crochet and how to implement it into your own crafting starting today!

FAQ & Terms

The Bunny Lovey Crochet Pattern

Ears – make 2

NOTES:

• For the bunny (ears, head & arms), use the smaller hook size
• The ears are worked in continuous rounds – do not join after each round
• You will crochet the ears, flatten them, and then sew them on later

Rnd 2: inc in each st around [12]

Rnd 12: sc around [42]

Rnd 13: (sc 6, inc) x6 [48]

Rnd 14-18: sc around [48]

Drop the yarn for now, but do not break it. You will now add the facial features and then pick back up where you left off to complete the head.

Add facial features:

NOSE: Using a tapestry needle and the black yarn, embroider the nose by inserting the needle from inside to outside through the magic circle and back to the inside between rounds 3 and 4, repeat twice using the below photo as your guide for the “Y” shape.

EYES: Using black yarn, embroider the eyes over Rnds 10-12 in somewhat of a zig-zag pattern, using the photo below as your guide for the placement. Alternatively, you can use safety eyes. I recommend size 8mm.

Head continued…

Rnd 19: (sc 6, dec) x6 [42]

Rnd 20: (sc 5, dec) x6 [36]

Stuff head.

Rnd 21: (sc 4, dec) x6 [30]

Rnd 22: (sc 3, dec) x6 [24]

Rnd 23: (sc 2, dec) x6 [18]

Rnd 24: (sc, dec) x6 [12]

Stuff one last time.

Rnd 25: dec around [6]

Sl st in the next st and snip, leaving a long tail. Pull the tail through the final 2 loops. Using the yarn end and a tapestry needle, thread the yarn through the front loop only of the remaining 6 stitches and pull tightly to close. Bring the yarn to the inside and back out one of the side walls. Snip cleanly with the surface.

Sew on the ears over rounds 18-20, spaced by about 6 stitches in between them.

Arms – make 2

Rnd 1: st 4 sc in a mc [4]

Rnd 2: inc in each st around [8]

Rnd 3-24: sc around [8]

Sl st to next st to fasten off. Snip leaving a long tail to sew on. Stuff lightly. Flatten and pinch the arms and sew them closed across the top.

Hexagon Blanket

NOTES:

• Use the larger sized hook
• The hexagon blanket is worked in continuous rounds, joined after each round (do not turn)
• The method below gives instructions on how to transition rounds when using the SAME color. If you are choosing a different color scheme and you want to change colors after a completed row, simply fasten off after joining the round and add your new color into the next ch-2 corner space. You won’t have to start the Rnd with the “3 sl st across to next ch 2 sp”, you’ll simply fasten off and rejoin in the next ch sp.
• You’ll find the hexagon begins to ruffle and remains ruffled the whole time – that is what is supposed to happen – you’re not doing anything wrong!

Assembly

After you complete the blanket (next page), lay the arms on the center of the blanket and use a long length of yarn to sew them on securely by passing the needle & yarn back and forth from the underside of the blanket to the topside, and then passing through a stitch from the last row of the arm – go back and forth several times until secure. Then, place the head on top of the arms and secure similarly using another length of yarn (or the same one if you still have some left). Fasten off securely.
