GAUGE:

20 sc + 27 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.

Best Bunny Reviewed by Rebecca Boudin on 2009-09-19
This bunny is so adorable, but I do caution you to check your gauge. I was so anxious to get started working on him that I completely bypassed that step and it made a huge difference. My arms and legs look funny and he's much smaller overall. Still cute, though. I decided to use a pom-pom maker to give him a bunny tail instead as well.
