Materials:
- In the yarn weight of your choice – approximately 80 yards, any color
(I used Sugar N’ Cream cotton yarn for the yellow peep, Hobby Lobby I Love this Cotton for
the green peep, and Red Heart Super Saver for the pink peep)
- Suggested hook size: 3.5mm
- 3 x 6mm safety eyes
My peeps measure approximately 5” tall when made with the above materials.
You can use any weight yarn or thread that you are comfortable using. You do not need to use
what I used, just adjust your hook size accordingly.

Love this pattern. Downloading to make some for my charity group. Wish I had a bit more time before Easter. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI've got quite a few balls of 8ply 4 Seasons flinders cotton. Do you think this would work for this pattern? Thanks for your feedback. On the wrapper it says: 115m per ball, 4mm needle,etc.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute !! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeletePutting them in a cute basket and going into the church auction. Super cute! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI made over 20 of these last year using Bernat Blanket in pastels. They end up being about 12" tall and are very soft. Love your pattern!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awesome! I cant wait to try.
DeleteJust curious how much yarn it took to make one with bernat blanket yarn?
DeleteAre the decreases for round 20 meant to be in the middle of the bunny front and back or on the two ends?
ReplyDeleteI’m already stuck on Row 2 of the body/head. How does that row pattern = 28 stitches?
ReplyDeletebc it's worked in the round. You dont stop at the end of each round and turn your work. you keep going in the round.
DeleteIs there a video on how to do the ears I’m not sure why I’m
ReplyDeletenot getting it?
Thanks 😊
It would be helpful I think to have a stitch count when trying to determine which stitch to go across to for the first ear. I figured it out but I'm going to do 11 more so that would be helpful. Obviously I like the pattern!!
ReplyDeletesince there is 22 sts in that row i get to the middle then count 11 sts to find the middle of the other side
DeleteCan someone help a beginner understand how to read the first row? I am confused on how there are 22
ReplyDeleteThank you for creating this pattern! I have had tremendous fun creating these for friends and just sold four in time for Easter. Thanks again! I have and will continue to share this page with everyone.
