To tie a rabbit crochet, we will need: 

– Lotus Grass Stretch yarn (50 gr = 80 m);
– hook number 3;
– filler (best sintepon);
– some cardboard for the base of the legs;
– beads and a button for muzzle decoration.

For the second attempt: I use white yarn and plan to make a nose made of polymer clay FIMO.

Here are some tips for knitting and assembling: 

1. Do not stuff your head too hard. A heavy head will shift the center of gravity and the bunny will not stand, but will fall under the weight of its head. In this case, the trunk and legs should be filled more tightly.

2. Insert the cardboard base into the legs for stability. When you knit up to 5 rows of legs, cut 2 pieces from the cardboard to the size of the resulting foot and put them into the foot, and then do the adjustments and fill with filler.

3. Note that the 4th row of the legs must be tied only behind the back of the hinge. This moment also greatly affects the stability of the toy, because With this method of knitting, the base of the foot (foot) is completely flat.

4. At the stage of assembly, first pin the legs to the trunk with a needle and make sure that the toy stays stable. Then make a mobile ligamental clamping of the paws (I will not go into details, because I have already talked a lot about this type of attachment, for example, here). Pull the strands of the fastener and check the stability of the toy while standing and sitting. Do not be lazy to remake if the toy is not worth it. My toy becomes stable, probably only with 2-3 attempts.

White bunny in the process of assembly: 

As a spout, you can use round buttons, best of all – volumetric with a foot recessed inside:

Or you can make a spout of any shape from polymer clay FIMO:

1. Roll a ball out of FIMO and cut it in half with a knife. Give each detail the right shape.
2. From the staple clip, make a fastening: bend both ends of the paper clip inwards, so that two circles form (the clip now resembles the shape of the glasses), and then rotate both circles 90 degrees.
3. Gently push the mount into the spout, but not deep, and so that the needle can pass through both holes. You can fasten the mount in a nozzle by attaching a small piece of clay between the circles.
4. Bake the spouts in the oven at 110 degrees 20-25 minutes.

We design the face of the bunny: 

1. When you sew the eyes and the spout, I recommend that the ends of the threads be drawn to one point in the upper part of the head where the ears are fastened, and in the lower part (near the neck). By pulling these threads, you can slightly drown the eyes and spout, and also give the head the desired flattened flattened shape;

2. Lightly tint the muzzle near the nose. I used the usual eye shadow for a dark gray color;

3. We embroider eyebrows. Although the eyebrows look very simple – this is just one stitch – but the expression of the toy’s muzzle depends very much on their location, length and angle. Therefore, I recommend trying different options. I do this as follows: I cut off pieces of thread along the length of the eyebrows, apply them to my face and look for that position that I like;

You can comb a bunny with a comb, a puerper, and the easiest way is a Velcro, more precisely that part of it that consists of hooks. It turns out quickly, simply and you can scratch any hard-to-reach places.
If you do not like short ears you can tie a bunny with a long one .
