Bunny Blanket Buddy Reviewed by Darlene Appelquist on 2009-09-30 *****
I've made many of these bunnies as gifts to friends. My latest ones have been made from leftovers of the velvet yarn so the bunny is multi colored. It turned out so cute I've had request for this style. They are so soft and cuddly. My grandkids love them. Darlene, Battlefield, MO
