GAUGE:

7 1/2 sc + 7 rows = 4 in. (10 cm). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

sc2tog (sc dec) Insert hook into st and draw up a loop. Insert hook into next st and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw through all 3 loops on hook.

NOTES:

Work in back loops only throughout.

Editor's Note: Based on customer comments, this pattern was revised on February 15, 2008.

Bunny Blanket Buddy Reviewed by Kathleen Kawakami on 2013-04-06 ****
I made this pattern for a baby boy who cannot be separated from it. Directions were very easy to follow; however, I did make the "arms" a few stitches longer so that I could knot each better. My blanket buddy looked exactly like the photo.
Thank you! We made a little boy very happy!
