Earth Bunny Blanket Reviewed by Jessica on 2009-04-05 *****
What a terrific pattern! I have made this twice - On my first project instead of using 2 strands of worsted weight, I used one strand of a super-chunky (#6) yarn (used exactly 2 skeins!). On my second project (shown here) I used leftover yarn from the Crochet Baby Granny Square Afghan. Works up quickly, easily and is totally adorable! Great quick baby gift.
