I haven't been blogging for the last couple of weeks as I have been ill with tonsilitis and then a bug. It hasn't stopped me from crocheting. I decided I wanted to try something a little different and had a go at the Japanese art of crocheting a stuffed animal, an Amigurumi and as it is spring time, I thought it would have to be a little bunny. Once I got the hang of it, it wasn't too difficult. I used Drops Merino 4 ply wool, they have some wonderful colours in this range, nice and bright. I also used my ergonomic Addi 2.5 hook.
As added extras I crocheted a little red bow and a pale yellow scarf with a tiny red button. I used two different colour brown embroidery silks from my stash for the eyes and nose, the material I used for the ears and feet was from a Clarke & Clarke fabric swatch.
The crochet pattern I used was from a blog called All About Ami, it's a fabulous blog for Amigurumi, I spent hours looking through it. The blog is written by a woman called Stephanie, she has had her work featured in a lot of magazines and is kind enough to post her patterns for free.
