It’s getting close to Easter season! I always get egg-stremely egg-cited for the egg-scuse to egg-sersise egg-ceptionally egg-stravagant egg puns! Go ahead, egg me on!
Okay, no more yolks. 🙂

Super Cute, thanks for sharing 🙂
The pattern works up perfectly! Two things I especially appreciated: 1) that you were specific about the placement of the eyes – it just made the whole face thing *so* much easier, and is a huge part of why my bunny turned out looking every bit as adorable as yours, and 2) that you left the 12-stitch openings at the bottom of the head and the top of the body – super easy to join, and no wobbliness in the neck like happens with other ami patterns I’ve tried. My granddaughter is going to love this Easter present, and I will definitely check out your other patterns!
Thanks so much for the feedback Jeannine! Have a great Easter and I hope your granddaughter loves the bunny!
