Velvet Bunny Lovey

The Velvet Bunny Lovey is a cute amigurumi granny stitch mash-up that is both snuggly and adorable for those little ones in your life!

The granny square lovey is made using a 5 mm hook and measures approximately 11” x 11”. The Bunny head is made with a 4 mm hook and is joined in the center of the granny square.

The Velvet Bunny Lovey is made using a velvet worsted weight yarn but could be made with any worsted weight yarn of your choice.
