Top Knit Tips
Our bunny play set comes with some small parts so we wouldn’t recommend it for children under 36 months.
Use matching yarn from your stash to make shoes and a bow to complete Betty’s outfit.
If you can't crochet a loop for the bow, just make a short plait and sew it in place.
Mark the position of the eyes with pins or small stitches. To form the eye sockets, use a tapestry needle and yarn A, and insert the needle at the position of the right eye, pulling it out at position of the left eye. Move one stitch across and insert the needle back through the work, coming out close to the starting point. Pull to gather the fabric until the eye sockets are deep enough and secure with a knot. Weave in the ends then sew the beads into the sockets.
To join the yarn in crochet, you often use the slip stitch method. Make a slip knot and place it on your hook. Insert the hook through the edge where you want to join the yarn. Wrap the yarn around the hook from back to front and pull the yarn through the fabric and your slip knot.
