- Tighten the last loop and cut the yarn.
Do not stuff the ears!
Face (Muzzle)
For the face, crochet either an oval or a circle using white yarn, depending on which shape you prefer.
You can attach a plastic nose, an insertable one with a stem, or create a nose by crocheting a small circle with pink yarn or embroidering it. Alternatively, cut a circle from felt and sew it on.
Assembly
- Stuff the arms with Hollofiber and sew them onto the body.
- Attach the tail and ears.
- Sew the muzzle to the head, and then attach the face (eyes and nose).
- Attach black buttons for the eyes or cut circles from dark felt and sew them on.
- Tie a satin ribbon around the neck.
Your Zefirka Bunny is ready!
Tips for Adjusting the Size:
- To make a larger bunny, increase the number of stitches on the legs to make the body wider and longer (you will need to crochet more rounds before starting the decreases).
- Increase the number of stitches for the head, starting with 8-9 stitches. For the ears, increase until round 8-9, then start decreasing every other row.
- If you decide to make a larger bunny, you’ll likely need 3 skeins of yarn.
