The better Bunny, this one made for what I shall cll my niece - is my husbands cousins first baby - and that is too complicated -so she is now my niece!
this one was trickier - I bodged it together from a couple of patterns but it came out OK.
Also I stuffed it with high quality stuffing, instead of newspaper ( as I did for the cats toys, as the kittens cannot choke on newspaper and was worried they might on the stuffing material - one just walked accross me typing with crochet mouse in mouth!)
The head is not as big as it looks in the photo - I am just really bad at taking photos.

Oh My Word !! That is just so utterly wonderful, how have you managed to become so incredibly talented so easily ? I love your description of your "niece " - a great way round a tricky linkage
I hope little one loves this as much as it deserves to be loved.
I will try and post my last felting endeavour which was my "hobby" for last winter and which no doubt will keep me occupied again this year.
I should have mentioned the most excellent cheat for this bunny - it is something called "self striping wool" - essentially the balls of wool contain several different colours at different lengths and as long as you start each part formt he same place ( bunny comes in 2 x legs, 2 x arms, 2 x ears, 1 x head 1 x body) you get the stripes without having to change wool - like i had to for the blanket, which then leaves all those nast threads to clear up. with self striping wool there is no need for that.
i still have not figured out how you can tell, when buying it, how big the stripes will be for any given project - I just happened to buy this because the balls of wool looked nice - and was so pleased with the results.
I have to buy everything online = as I am stuck at home, so do not get to ask advice or check the product before hand.
They are crocheted as per the first pattern I was using, then added the supersoft grey faux fur as per the second pattern I was using - as I remembered when my second son was born, I had a faux fur silver grey russian hat and never got to wear it - my son snaffled it for snuggling and I never got it back
I thought a bit of the same fabric would work well so that the little one could snuggle up to it.
