Pro tip:

To help place the ears in the right spot, I suggest putting the hat on your bunny and using stitch markers to see where is best to place your ears on your bunny's head. Then take off the hat and sew on the ears.

Scarf

Shorter scarf:

1. ch 31 (31)
2. starting in 2nd ch. from hook sc 30 (30)
3. ch 1, turn, sc 30 across (30)

Longer scarf:

1. ch 41 (41)
2. starting in 2nd ch. from hook sc 40 (40)
3. ch 1, turn, sc 40 across (40)

How to:

Once you finish your scarf, don't fasten off. Use the tail and count 8 stitches back, fold the end to that eighth stitch & sew the end there to create a loop.
When you wrap your scarf around your bunny, you put an end through the loop and pull, so you don't have to knot your scarf.
