Blanket Bunny

… and on the 7th day, she finished a project.

No, seriously, I made a blanket bunny. The bunny pattern (which I altered to make it larger and a bit less flimsy feeling) is from Lion Brand, as is the yarn The yarn is Velvetspun in the color Bluebell, which turned out to be nearly impossible to find here in Austin. Difficulties notwithstanding, I think what I ended up with is quite nice. Which is good, because it’s a present for a 1-year-old cousin who I will be meeting tomorrow.

The texture of it is quite nice - both because of the soft yarn and this very nice ribbing that doing a back crochet makes. So here’s some pictures - first, the fabric close-up with the ribbing.  The second picture is one of the bunny before completion, still missing half a head, ears, face and trim.  The third is the whole bunny, after being washed and dried and the little hands knotted up.  Hopefully it’s ready for a baby!
