Austin's Bunny

My parents are visiting from WI this week and my mom brought the book Natural Knits for Babies and Moms by Louisa Harding as a little gift. She especially loved the stuffed rabbit pattern. While she's here, I thought I’d quick knit one up for her to take back to WI to give to my sister, who is expecting a new baby around September 1st. This is an extremely easy pattern, but it is knit flat and then sewn up, which seems kind of unnecessary to me. I chose to knit it in the round instead. That’s a time-saver! There's no increasing or decreasing, and this results in a less-than-elegant bunny. But it is a sweet little toy, none-the-less. I hope my new nephew will like it :)

That's adorable Amber! and I love the blue you chose for it!! I'm sure the ears will get tons of drooling done on them and the little bunny will be much loved by your nephew! :=)

What a cutie! I also knit in the round, don't like to seam if I can avoid it ;)
