When I was little, I always wanted a Netherland Dwarf rabbit. We ended up with guinea pigs instead, which I never regretted, but I still have a soft spot for cute little dwarf bunnies. Well, now I have the opportunity to do something about that:<\/p>\n

\"dwarf<\/p>\n

This bunny started out as a failed attempt to make my abyssinian guinea pig. I realised when I got halfway through that it wasn’t going to work as a guinea pig, so I decided to keep it and see if I could modify it into a bunny for myself.<\/p>\n

If you’d like to make one of your own, it’s based on the one-colour Fuzzy Guinea Pig<\/a> pattern, made in eyelash yarn (by itself; not<\/em> held together with ww yarn) and a size H (5mm) hook. Before starting the decreases on the body, add a few extra rounds until the bunny looks long enough – just eyeball it. I left off the legs because I figured the fur was long enough to hide them anyway, but you could include the legs if you’d prefer.<\/p>\n

For the ears, I used the following pattern:
\nRnd 1: Ch2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook. (6 st)
\nRnd 2: (2 sc in next st, sc in next 2 st) twice. (8 st)
\nRnd 3: sc in each st around. (8 st)
\nRnd 4: (2 sc in next st, sc in next 3 st) twice. (10 st)
\nRnds 5-9: sc in each st around. (10 st)
\nJoin with sl st to next st, fasten off leaving long end of yarn to attach ear to head. <\/p>\n

Flatten the ears and sew them to the head. Trim down all the fur around the face and ears. Sew on 10mm eyes and embroider the nose.<\/p>\n

My guinea pig has taken baby bunny under her wing:<\/p>\n
