I felt like Spring would be the perfect time to design this pretty little Bunny Luv Lovey. She turned out so cute! I used the same Lotus Blanket pattern from Hooked by Robin that I used on my Unicorn Lovey This blanket pattern is so handy, and whips up very quickly. Again, I only did about 20 rows, but that’s the perfect size for a little security blanket.
I make these little blankets when I have found some cute yarn at a thrift store, but I don’t really have enough to make a whole afghan or big amigurumi project. Usually I’ll make the little blanket and then decide what kind of animal to put on top. I recently started a Facebook page: “About Yarn Time Shop” for my crochet shop and sometimes I’ll post my newly constructed blankets and let my followers vote on what to put on top!
My Facebook followers also get to have first dibs on any of my creations posted there before I post them to Etsy 🙂
The bunny topper pattern for this little luvvy comes from Alanna O’Dea and was shared on Bella Coco Crochet here. The pattern is very easy to follow, and the author also has other variations of the pattern to create different animals to top the blanket.
Their bunny did not have bows for embellishment, so I had to design those myself. Just chain 11, turn, *sc in the second loop from the hook, sc 9, Ch 1, turn* and repeat for 5 rows. Ch 1, cut the yarn and pull through. Weave in ends, and then scrunch the center and secure with yarn looped about 6 times around. Sew to each ear, and there you have it! Little Bitty Bows 🙂
I hope you will give this Bunny a try. If you just want one and don’t want to have to make it, you can always order one from me directly – colors may vary depending on yarn availability – or you can order custom colors!
