Free Easter Bunny Crochet Pattern with Carrot Hat
I'm so happy to share this free Easter Bunny pattern with you! This little bunny with his carrot hat is the star of my Easter Bundle. I just love how he turned out. He's chunkier and taller than the chick and sheep, but still very quick to make with chenille yarn.
The finished bunny is about 11.5 cm (4.5 inches) tall - he makes a wonderful Easter decoration or handmade gift!
If you’d prefer a beautifully formatted and easy-to-read PDF version, you can purchase the 3-in-1 Easter Bundle in my Etsy shop
