Tiny Rabbit Amigurumi Crochet Pattern
Lately, the warmer weather and the sunshine have been enough to draw this homebody out of hibernation. Despite the construction and traffic, I still feel the freshness of the season. Not only that, I’m excited because in just one more week my little sister will be returning from her long trip to Japan!
These things combined - oh, and Easter too - inspired me to make this adorable and tiny amigurumi rabbit!
Just as I finished sewing the head and body together Jason walked in the room and saw the bunny. Usually when he sees a project I've finished he'll say, "That's so cute," or, "That's so awesome," and then proceed to do a few karate moves with it before giving it back.
But because the yarn needle was still attached to the rabbit, he finished his action scene with this:
Of course now I can't picture the bunny as a cute spring creature, instead he is now a warrior bunny! (Good thing I've got extra needles...)
Protecting my yarn stash. "You shall not pass!"
