Free Masterclass: New Year’s Bunny Ornament from Daria Neustrueva
In this free masterclass, you will learn how to crochet a festive New Year’s bunny ornament. The adorable bunny is made from a crocheted ball with a scarf, perfect for decorating your Christmas tree. The pattern uses amigurumi techniques, and you can choose any yarn that is semi-cotton, such as YarnArt Jeans, Alize Cotton Gold, Gazzal Baby Cotton, or others.
For the scarf, you can use any yarn, but the author recommends YarnArt Christmas, which has a slight fluffiness. You can also choose yarn with lurex in the composition to make the ornament sparkle beautifully on your New Year’s tree. The bunny can also serve as a lovely brooch.
