Crochet Hooded Bunny Blanket Pattern Notes
- the blanket is worked in block stitch in a corner to corner technique diagonally across
- you will start with 1 block stitch and increase on either side of the blanket until you reach the stated width, this is a great way to adjust the size
- then you will start decreasing on both sides of your work until you have 1 block stitch left
- the block stitch is a two row repeat
- The ends of rows naturally create a rippled edge which doubles up as a simple border for your blanket making it a really quick project
- to create the hood for the blanket, you will crochet a triangle in block stitch following the original pattern
- it uses the same technique as the main blanket, you will start with 1 block stitch and increase on both sides until you reach the stated width, then fasten off
- you will sew the triangle onto one corner of the blanket across the two sides to create a hood
- you will then crochet the bunny ears and cheeks body parts which are sewn onto the hood
- the face is then finished off with a black embroidery thread for the eyes, nose, and whiskers
