Bunny Easter Basket by Cynthia Pilon Designs
$8.00
These little bunny shaped baskets are perfectly sized for an Easter gift. The pattern includes two options: a traditional bunny with upright ears and a bunny with floppy ears. Both bunnies are knit in the round from the bottom up, and then felted in a washing machine. The faces are simple embroidery and the tails are pom poms. Comprehensive instructions are provided for how to felt and shape the bunnies. Best of all, a bunny can be made in a single day!
"I have found that many of my customers are accomplished knitters but are unsure of their felting skills. There are many little tips that can help with felting that are too varied or random to include in every pattern. [The monthly] newsletter will answer direct questions and offer some tips that will help you achieve the outcome you want. Thanks!" --Cindy
