Easter Bunny Tiny

Easter Bunny Tiny is a beautiful gift for your children or grandchildren. When it is made with the supplies I used it measures approximately 10 cm in length. It is a relatively easy project, however, one should know the basics of crocheting to use the pattern.

I would love to see the toys that you make using this pattern, please share the pictures with me on Facebook or Instagram @craftedbysalo
