Sunny Bunny

Materials:
- Worsted weight yarn - approx. 120 yards yellow, scrap amount of white and egg color.
(I used Sugar n' Cream cotton yarn in the color Sunshine for my bunny)

- 2 x 9mm safety eyes 
- Pink embroidery floss
- Blush  

My bunny measures approximately 5.5” 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 for my bunny, just adjust your hook size accordingly.
