How to Make a Rabbit or Easter Bunny from a Knitted Square

[@jansfield5314]

I just found your channel and I knit for charity, so these bunnies are perfect to sell! I just loved the finishings of your bunny, and I love the bigger ones too! Can't wait to see what else you make! Thank you x

[@rachaelgreenland]

Hi Jan, I'm really pleased you enjoyed the video. The bunnies are great for selling and can be embellished in all kinds of ways. A group of us made a load for a community event where we hid them all over the area for kids to find and keep. We made little labels with a little back story for that bunny and let the kids name them. It was lovely seeing the older kids finding more than one then guiding the smaller ones to them, or putting them back for the littlies. Have fun with your making. Rachael

I just found your video and it is the best of the "bunny from a square" that are available. The shaping details really make it superior to the rest as does your clear instruction. Glad I found it.

[@marthalambert9531]

Thank you very much, loved how you explained everything .

[@patlaverty4968]

I agree! I was about to say the same. The little tweaks make all the difference 😊

[@bevshoosmith1347]

Much clearer instructions to other patterns I have seen. I'm off to make some bunnies

[@Ginnyvelarde]

Loved your tutorial. I'm going to give it a try in crochet. Your finishing is wonderful. Great job !!! Thank you for sharing with us.

[@TimmsMJ]

Oh I've got to get my needles out! I made 2 bunnies for my Grandsons from other instructions and the ears are backwards!!! Your version is wonderful, such clear directions. Thank you so much.

[@southernbelle816]

Excited to try this for a personal touch to a baby shower gift. Thank you!

[@clarehughes2840]

Excellent video ...the best I’ve seen! Made 3 already...I placed a chocolate egg in the body along with the stuffing ...the kids love them.

[@rachaelgreenland]

Genius!

[@debbiechaney6607]

Precious bunny...thank you very much ..he is darling with great instructions. From Debbie and Dexter--Dog in California USA.

[@nightowl4137]

I love the way you did the bunny's face ! Great for putting in this years Easter Basket's . Vickie G

[@amygreen7681]

Best bunny tutorial out there! Thank you very much!!!!

[@margotaldrich8065]

What a wonderful pattern and idea! Thank you!! I used felted squares from wool jumpers to make mine and I put a handful of navy beans inside the lower body to make her stand up! It worked so well!

[@rachaelgreenland5233]

Oh how clever! I’d not thought of using felted jumpers - a world of possibilities opens up! Thank you for sharing your idea. Happy Easter!

[@annthompson3246]

I'm actually knitting them now, thank you , thank you 😊

[@rachaelgreenland]

I hope you have fun making them!

[@Hllee6428]

I liked how you explained about folding the bunny ears, and creating stability for the base.

[@outtadarkness1970]

I appreciate your attention to detail. It makes all the difference. Thank you for sharing your talents! 👍👍❤️🌻

[@susanfryer1616]

[@piper_lori-williams-tudhope]

I’m going to have to make these for my Olivia’s PreK class! Great stash buster idea! Thank you 🥰

[@vm6674]

This is a really nice video. Thank you

[@purpleelectric855]

Love this. It popped up in my recommendations. Very easy to follow your instructions and you have such a lovely calming voice. I'm going to be giving this a try. Have subscribed too.

Thank you for this lovely tutorial.

[@jayatkinson1152]

EXACTLY what I was looking for... thank you! XXX

[@sandrapulaski3970]

So cute! Your tutorial is very well done and easy to follow! Thank you.

[@kimhardee1892]

What a wonderful video and I love your bunnies! I do not knit but I crochet, going to try it with a crocheted square.

[@rachaelgreenland5233]

I’d love to see it when it’s finished. Diversity exists in the bunny world.

[@catlady4380]

i really like the little blue one .we have a bunny rescue..thank you for the great idea for fund raising...love the vid.

[@constancewalz9332]

I would really like to know how to make what Looks like a bow tie ? Thanks !

[@bettyadkisson1681]

Yes thank you so much for the pattern i sure will try making it.

[@OtDawn]

Clever and cute, perfect gift for grt grandson, thank you for clear instructions, subscribed !

[@kathytincler2446]

Thank you....those are darling. I'm going to try that 'sculpting' technique :)

[@dianehardt9117]

I love your video, very easy to follow. I tried using yarn instead of thread and it works great.

[@rachaelgreenland]

A good innovation. Thread can be quite harsh so yarn or embroidery thread is a good alternative - well spotted!

[@mariav.267]

Thank you! It's beautiful and creative! 🤗

[@rachaelgreenland]

You're welcome!

[@rebeccadees2300]

Adorable... thank you for sharing this with your tutorial.😊👌

[@sharonlibrarian3643]

I love them all! So sweet. 🐰

[@lynnharrison498]

[@cheyennesummer6541]

Your so cute I love it! Thank you this video helped so much.

[@rachaelgreenland]

Have you made one yet?

[@valadams2830]

Fantastic, I'm going to have a go making some now. Thanks 🥰

[@hayleyrh79]

Used a macramé square. Worked well..made from a 3mm cord.

[@eileenfb1948]

Lovely, thank you.

[@sharonhudemka4888]

Great project.

[@jkobis]

so detailed thanks

[@brendakane3888]

New to knitting, thanks so much! Super clear instructions, how easy was that? Thank you so much.

[@ZareenasmatArifa]

😊😊❤

[@agoogleuser7055]

Thanks so much for this! Adorable. I've been looking for something to do w/some fuschia yarn left over from Women's March hat-making last year. Some fuschia bunnies will be perfect.

[@catherinetideswell7684]

Fab idea as I'm not an adventurous knitter. Ears weren't as great as yours though!! Stay safe x

[@tracytaylor9825]

Could you also use the wool as a thread, instead of cotton thread, when sculpting the face and sewing up the neck and back behind the ears to close the openings ?

[@rachaelgreenland5233]

Hi, If you check your yarn for strength and are happy that it won’t snap when you’re pulling it tight, then there’s no reason why not.

[@tracytaylor9825]

@@rachaelgreenland5233 Thank you, I'll try that.

[@carolemelchers5324]

How did you get your piece so flat? I’m knotting in stockinnette stitch and my piece is curled up.

[@HKapril9]

Novice knitter here. I am of the impression that stockinette stitch inherently has some curl. If you want something flat, I suggest garter stitch. It’s what I made *my* bunny out of tonight.

[@macysmith9673]

how many cast on stitches do you need for the square?

[@rachaelgreenland5233]

Hi Macy, The stitches will very much depend on the yarn you’re using - so thicker yarn will need fewer stitches and thinner will need more. If you take a look at the band around the yarn there’s a lot of information on there, including the numbers of stitches to make an inch so you should be able to work out how many cast on stitches are needed from that. I hope that helps and wasn’t too vague! Have fun. R

[@austinwilloughby3439]

How many stitches for this bunny you made ,and what size needle please! So cute thank you so much!!!

[@marypeterson5119]

How do you anchor the yarn or thread for embroidery on the face? Both at start and end, as for nose or eyes? Thank you.

[@rosieshimmin2249]

Can you use the same principle to make a bunny head for a comfort blanket ?

[@myrablack2337]

So cute

[@jv-ib5rc]

What is the color of the thread please? Thank you for a wonderful video.

[@rachaelgreenland]

Try to match the colour to the colour of the yarn you used to knit the square, or at least the same tone. The shaping thread needs to blend in and not be obvious.

[@geetharanganathan6350]

I tried bunny rabbit it came well

[@josephinalasota6825]

is there anyway you can show a video on how to knit a bunny ear?

[@Gorakhparki]

very cute rabbit and you thankssssssssss

[@treanita86]

How many stitches do we need

[@sallymay1]

How do I get instructions to print off please, would like to knit some for Ukraine 🇺🇦 x

[@Danceswithfishes]

Would be it possible not to stuff the bottom and put a Cadbury chocolate egg 🥚 instead?

[@rachaelgreenland]

I don't see why not! Sounds fun.

[@Danceswithfishes]

@@rachaelgreenland thank you 😀

[@mariaalciraprack1864]

Lo copio de Tejer con Lucila. Al menos podrías decirlo. Eso acá en Argentina se llama plagio.

[@Danceswithfishes]

Oye, disculpa la molestia. Tú sabrás cómo se llama este patrón en español en el sitio de Lucila. Soy principiante. Muchas gracias.

[@gbhullar8418]

[@lynnleonard510]

I see a picture at the beginning of the KZbin then it turns black

[@barbalcook1796]

Such adorable little Bunnies! Loved your tutorial and the easy way you have in showing us "the ropes." thank you so much. I will try this tonight!

[@th-ck9vl]

Didn't work, only one side of the rabbit started to pull inward, the right side just stayed flat. Oh well I tried lie 15 times with this I'm done for real now XD
