Tips for Working with Chenille Yarn

Chenille yarn hides stitches easily. Use a stitch marker religiously and count every round. Work in good lighting. If you make a mistake, do not try to frog more than a few stitches because the yarn tangles and sheds. Use a slightly smaller hook than recommended for a tighter fabric.

This bunny makes a perfect baby gift or nursery decoration. The plush texture is incredibly soft and the floppy ears give it that huggable quality children love. Make one in pastel pink, mint green, or classic white for different looks using the same pattern.
