    Holly your bunny is so cute. I wish I could read crochet instructions but I never learned. Oh I can crochet simple things but that is about it. You did a great job.

    This bunny is the cutest. I will have to dust off my crochet needles and attempt him after Easter. The only crochet that I have worked on is the single crochet, sometimes a double and rarely a triple. I have only made amigurumi things so he will be a challenge :) Thank you so much for posting the pattern. Have a wonderful Easter, Holly

    Hey Holly,
    I forgot to tell you where I get my plastic "wine" glasses that I used for a cloche with the yellow fuzzy chick. I find them in the wedding section at Hobby Lobby. Some people use the bottom of the cup to make the bottom of the cloche but I like to use pretty scrapbooking paper. Have a great Good Friday, Holly
