You have to be familiar with the crochet abbreviations and different stitches.
DOLL SIZE
If you use Granny Kit cotton yarn with a 2.5mm hook, your bunny will be about 26 cm height.
of course you can use any yarn you like or have in stash just note that the doll size will
change and you might need to make few changes for the dress and change the eyes size.

To start ch6
You'll work in spiral and therefor it'll be easier for you to mark your first st each rnd.

tighten the lp. Now start on the other side. sc in each of the next 3 ch, cs2 in last ch. (14 sts)
You'll work in spiral now so mark your first st in each rnd.

both legs, ending this round at the backside. this is rnd1 of the body.

Now sew a little tiny button to one side of the neck at the back of the dress.

opening.
JOINING ALL PIECES TOGETHER
PLACE THE EYES
Put the eyes in place - place them at the same row where you made the first sc2tog.
the distance between the eyes is almost the same as the distance between 2 sc2tog at the
same row. Sew the eyes into the head using the yarn left from the head.
HEAD & HOODY
Now connect the hood to the head, first make sure the head is filled very firmly with the soft
stuffing. Crochet or sew 10 sts of the head together with 10 sts of the hoody as shown in
pictures.
BODY TO HEAD&HOODY
After legs and body are filled in with stuffing material very firmly and after you joined
the hoody to the head, join the head and body. Use the yarn from the body and sc or sew
together the sts from both pieces, all the way around. Make sure you place the head straight
and keep it straight all the way while you crochet or sew them together.
HANDS & BODY
Sew the arms to the sides of the body, underneath the next to last round, as shown in
pictures. make sure the thumbs points towards the body.
EARS TO HEAD&HOODY
Put the ears in their right place on the head&hoody, take a look at the pictures to see how I
placed them and use the yarn left from the ears to sew them to the head.
TAIL & BODY
Place the pompom at the back of the body, place it just a little higher from the row where we
connected the legs to the body. As shown in pic. sew the pompom onto the body using the
yarn left from the pompom.
SHOES & LEGS
Put the shoes on your bunny legs, sew the strap of each shoe to the opposite side of the shoe
with a contrast colour yarn, any yarn you have in stash will make it here.
I embroidered chain st. it is hard to make it on the doll but this is the best way to close the
shoe. Weave in the yarn tails.
DRESS UP YOUR BUNNY
Put the dress on your bunny up from the legs through the neck opening. You need to push it
a little because the neck opening is too small. Be careful not to hurt the pompom tail. Push
the tail through the hole carefully. Button up the dress and here you go... say Hello to Yvonne,
make her a nice place next to you and give her a hug. She's soooo sweet.
