JoolieSews: Take me Home

The Bunny movement on Ravelry has listed several patterns for crochet and knitting so everyone can join the movement. I tried this one from Little Cotton Rabbits free knit pattern. I think it turned out very cute, but there is alot of little pieces to knit and sew on to be a little rabbit to make a bunch of for the bunny movement. Even if you picked up the stitches on the body, it still makes for a lot of extra little things to do. Keep it in mind for little gift for someone special. On the website they give ears to make it a teddy bear instead of a bunny.

This is my version of two different patterns that are listed on the Bunny movement. One was the bunny nugget for the body and the ears from the catnip bunny and then I added a few changes on the rows and top shaping and bottom shaping. If you check out my knitting catagory I give those changes. You may have to scroll down to the bottom and press the older posts to find the one that explains how I did my changes.

I have left a few bunnies and some other toys here and there. It is fun.

Sharing Happiness with the Bunny movement

I receive emails on updates about this website that does these tiny knitted toys. It is called Mochimochi Land. I read about this movement where people are knitting these tiny bunnies and leaving them places with tags for people to take them home with them. A way of sharing happiness and probably giving out smiles to. This is a really quick knit and you can use up your scraps. Each one seems individual, even though you use the same pattern. I changed the pattern a little on the end with the face, just because I wanted to. I also did the face features with a tiny bit of embroidery floss. Here is the free Pattern for you to knit your own. Here is a link to the post on Mochimochi about the movement. That is on their blog. They also have a book that has a bunch of tiny knits, Here you can see it

There is a ravelry group called tiny Bunny Movement. There is over 300 members as of today. I have the ones above all done and am going to include a tag or note asking if people would come to my blog and post that they received one of my Bunnies or other knit toy, that is looking for a new home. I think it will be great fun. I hope those who receive them enjoy them!
