Cuddle Bunny Blanket
Lion Brand® Quick & Cozy
GAUGE: 6 sts + 4.75 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 decrease) 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 - 1 st decreased.
sc3tog (sc double decrease) Insert hook into st or ch-sp and draw up a loop. (Insert hook into next st or ch-sp and draw up a loop) 2 times. Yarn over, draw through all loops on hook - 2 sts decreased. |
NOTES: Work in back loops only throughout.

| Cuddle Bunny Blanket Reviewed by Rosemary Trimpe on 2012-12-03 |
 |
| I have made this bunny blanket 2 times and everyone, including the parents just love it. It is pretty easy to make, just follow the directions carefully when you come to the bunny head. Use a soft, bulky yarn and you have the perfect gift for a baby. I have made this for the sibling who is no longer the baby of the house to make them feel special and it is a great gift.
