Spool-Knit Rabbit Hot Pad
Lion Brand® Lion® Cotton
GAUGE: Exact gauge is not essential to this project.
NOTES: Yarn is used doubled throughout (2 strands). When changing from one color to another when spool knitting, simply cut the first color and tie on the second one. When you are knitting, be sure to position the knot so it is positioned facing the inside of the spool -- it will be invisible on the outside! For instructions on how to make a spool knitter, click .

ASSEMBLY
Back Foot
Thread the large-eyed blunt needle with white cotton. Roll the
strand and stitch it so it is round. Stop when there is
approximately one inch [2.5 cm] of the knitted strand left. Tie off
your sewing. |
 |
|
Body
Thread the large-eyed blunt needle with (A). Roll the stand counter
clockwise to make a coil about an inch [2.5 cm across] Sew this, tie off
the yarn that you are sewing with. This will be the tail. Hold the
back foot with the foot portion on the bottom. Position the rolled
tail of the body piece in the 3 o'clock position on the back foot and sew
until you reach 12 o'clock. Coil the rest of the strand
counter clockwise and position it so that it forms the body of the bunny
on the left side of the foot. Stitch in place, tie yarn off
securely, trim
|
 |
|
Head
Thread the large-eyed blunt needle with (A). Fold the rose
portion over and fold the white portion around it to create the ear (the
rose part is the inside of the ear). Stitch to hold in place. Tie
yarn off securely, trim. Roll the balance into an oval and stitch in
place, stopping when you reach the base of the ear. Tie yarn off securely,
trim.

Ear and front Foot assembly.
Thread the large-eyed blunt needle with (A). Fold the rose portion
over and fold the white portion around it to create the ear (the rose part
is the inside of the ear). Stitch to hold in place. Tie yarn off
securely, trim. Place the front foot portion so it is at
the bottom of the bunny and at the same level as the back foot.
Stitch the assembly into place along the front portion of the body. |
 |
Head
Position the head so that the ear fits together with the ear that is
already mounted on the bunny. Thread the large-eyed blunt needle
with (A), sew into place. Tie off yarn securely, trim. |
 |
Eyes and Mouth
Thread the large-eyed blunt needle with (C). Tie a large knot in
it, position as the eye and, sewing from the right side to the wrong side,
pull it through and tie off in back. Repeat for a second eye.
Using (B) embroider a nose and mouth on the bunny.

| We are thrilled to find such an easy pattern. My daughters were thrilled with the knitting Nancy's grandfather made; but unsure what to make with them. One inparticular LOVES white bunnies. She's knitting like crazy to finish this hot pad! My oldest has also found a spool-knit pattern she's interested in trying. THANK YOU, Lion Brand for the many wonderful patterns you provide!
