Super sweet amigurumi easter bunny is ready to keep your breakfast eggs warm! The toy is knitted in the round; so it is basically recommended for advanced beginner knitters.
Just so you know, the creator of this lovely amigurumi bunny is my super talented friend Tatyana. Her knitting and crochet projects are unbelievably beautiful and worth to see. You’ll find the link to her Instagram page at the bottom.
The finished bunny is approximately 14 cm tall.
