Let's do some rabbit ears
Start the ears of the magic loop. You will work in a spiral without joining the rounds.
01. [sc] 4x in the thread of the loop and tighten the loop (4) 02. [inc] 4x (8) 03. [sc, inc] 4x (12) 04. sc, inc, [sc 2, inc] 3x, sc (16) 05.

Leave a long tail to sew the ears on the hood, break the yarn and fasten. Halfway done - now another ear!
TIP: Want to give your rabbit a punk style? Try to make striped ears! Use a different color and add 3 or more bars as you go.
cross-stitched roses
Use the following table to embroider roses on the RITAs stomach. Since your crochet somewhat increases, and decreases to the shape of the body, you must pass
some places where embroideries can not be made exactly one above the other, and you have to improvise a little.
Rabbit tail is a simple sphere. You start the tail with another magic loop. You will work in a spiral without joining the rounds.
01. [sc] 6x in the thread of the loop and tighten the loop (6) 02. [inc] 6x (12) 03. [sc, inc] 6x (18) 04. sc, inc, [sc 2, Inc.] 5 times, Sat (24) 05. [sc 3, inc] 6x (30) 06.-08. (3 rds) [sc] through (30) 09. [dec, sc 3] 6x (24) 10. sc, dec, [sc 2, dec] 5 times, sbn (18) 11. [dec, cbn] 6 times (12) 12. [dec] 6x (6)
Leave a long tail to sew the tail onto the body later, break the thread and clip off.
You can find the perfect way to fasten the end of the Easter egg instructions.
What about some Easter eggs now?
Make another magic loop - work in a spiral without joining rounds:
01. [sc] 4x in the thread of the loop and tighten the loop (4) 02. [inc] 4x (8) 03. [sc, inc] 6x (12) 04. sc, inc, [sc 2, inc] 3x, sc (16) 05. [sc 3, inc] 4x (20) 06. sc 2, inc, [sc 4, inc] 3x, sc 2 (24)
Pull out the remaining yarn tail from the start through the center of the magic loop for the egg tip - you will need this to flatten the tip later. 07. [sc 5, inc] 4x (28) 08. sc 3, inc, [sc 6, inc] 3x, sc 3 (32) 09. [sc 7, inc] 4x (36) 10.-14. (5 rds) [sc] through (36)
Break the first yarn and join another yarn in color for your choice: 15.-18. (4 rds) [sc] through (36) 19. sc 2, dec, [sc 4, dec] 5x, sc 2 (30) 20. [dec, sc 3] 6x (24) 21. sc, dec, [ sc 2, dec] 5 times, sbn (18)
Stuff eggs, yarn remains or a soft padding before moving on. 22. [dec, сбн] 6 times (12) 23. [dec] 6x (6) - Break yarn, rubbing yarn in the rest long enough to be fastened, as you can see in the following photos:
At the very least, you must pull the thread of the tail from the beginning and back through the center of the egg with the tip pointing inside the egg. Pull it slightly to gently flatten the board. Finally, weave the yarn tails.
