Crochet Bunny Behind Square Pattern Details
I am working this crochet bunny pattern from the same base pattern as my Christmas crochet granny squares. All of the squares in this series work up to a large 14″ square. Perfect for pillows or to mix-and-match for an adorable Easter spring themed throw! These individual squares would also make wonderful wall hangings for your spring themed home decor.
This is a very easy square – perfect for beginners! Starts with solid white in double crochet stitches which is then squared off for joining.
I then crocheted two round feet and added pink little foot pads which are sewn to the square. Then you will make a big fluffy yarn pom pom for his tail. Sew in place and all done! Easy and fast!
I am using Red Heart With Love* yarn for my squares. Red Heart With Love yarn is a medium weight #4 acrylic worsted weight yarn. These granny squares would be a great way to use up your stash, too!
