Notes – Crochet Bunny Beanie

Gauge: 10 x 10 cm = 17 stitches x 13 rows (of hdc)

The rows end with a chain 1 then turn.

The ears are worked in the amigurumi technique, so no joining with a sl st at the end of the rounds.

This pattern is ideal for kids from 5 to 10 years old.

The Beanie

Ch 49, then starting the 2nd loop from the hook:

Row 1: 48 hdc slt (48)

Row 2 to 76: 48 hdc slt BLO (48)

You should get a rectangle measuring: 43 cm (17 inch) width x 28 cm (11 inch) length

Fold the rectangle in 2 and join with a sl st in the 1st stitch on the other side of the rectangle. Then join both side together by slip stitching every corresponding stitches together, going through the 2 loops of the stitches on the 1st side of the rectangle, while going through the back loops only of the stitches on the other side.

Cut the yarn and leave a tail to sew the top of the beanie. Now turn your beanie upside down and grab your yarn needle, then sew in a zigzag method around the top, to close it.

Once you’ve made a full round, carefully pull the yarn tail to tighten the top of the beanie. This action cinches the stitches together, closing the hole at the crown. Secure it by weaving the ends tightly.
