So, my dear friend, are you ready to start our small adventure? I promise that the process won't be boring at all, on the contrary it will wake up your imagination and make you achieve a desirable result. It is a kind of a quest when you finish it you will be surprised and willing to do it again and again! :) Well, my little friend, get all the necessary materials, which you should have already prepared out of the bins , take your place on your lovely sofa and don't forget to make a cup of aroma coffee or tea and let’s begin. The first part consists of crocheting of all parts of the toy. It is the main and the easiest part. I only want to wish you good luck and the smoothest crochets. And remember if you fail the first time, don't get upset, you will manage to do it, I promise. Never give up. Everything I've got today is the result of hard work. And I'm sure you will do it even better if you really want it. At the basis of our lamb is pretty whimsical yarn that may seem to you quite heavy to crochet with at first glance. However, that is not so! These are all our fears before the unknown. Believe me! Just be patient and everything will turn out for you! If it is still hard and incomprehensible after several tries, I will advise you to take very thin cotton yarn in the tone of textured yarn and crochet in two strands. NOMADIC

HEAD: Work with plush yarn and hook size 2 mm. It is important not to get confused with number of rows. I advise to mark each row with pencil on the sheet of paper. R1: 6 sc in magic ring R2: 6 inc (12) R3: (1 sc, inc) х 6  (18) R4: (2 sc, inc) х 6  (24) R5: (3 sc, inc) х 6  (30) R6: (4 sc, inc) х 6  (36) R7-8:  36 sc R9: (5 sc, inc) х 6  (42) R10-11:  42 sc R12: (6 sc, inc) х 6  (48) R13: (7 sc, inc) х 6  (54)

R14-19 (6 rounds):  54 sc R20: (7 sc, dec) х 6 (48) R21: (6 sc, dec) х 6  (42) R22: (5 sc, dec) х 6  (36) R23: (4 sc, dec) х 6  (30) R24: (3 sc, dec) х 6  (24) At this stage stuff detail with fiber filling. This is important moment as we form our detail with the help of fiber and make it right shape. Stuff tight. Try to make your detail the same shape as shown on the picture. R25: (2 sc, dec) х 6  (18) R26: (1 sc, dec) х 6  (12) Stuff little bit more. Cut the yarn. Hide yarn tail inside the detail. Here it is. First detail is ready. Further will be easier!

ASSEMBLY: First sew head to the body previously securing it with pins. Everything should be even and symmetric. When there is a small hole left, stuff the area between head and body with fiber tight, so our head don't hang out. Cut the yarn and hide yarn tail inside the detail.

Sew arms on the sides of the body previously securing them with pins.

Sew legs using button or thread joint. I used button joint. In order to do it we will need cotton yarn and 2 buttons.   Watch video how to do both joints: https://youtu.be/zz7_QyIQNUw https://youtu.be/L22Hr9qPrsw

MANTLE: I crocheted a mantle for bunny from cotton yarn Yarn Art Begonia and hook size 1,5 mm First, make a chain. It should be the length of bunny's neck circumference. I've got 40 ch. Then we need to devide these 40 chains into 2 front parts, back, sleeves and raglan stitches. We have 4 raglan stitches. 40-4=36. Then take 4 st for each sleeve. 36-8=28. Halve 28 st. We've got 14 for back and 14 for front of the mantle. Since our front will have 2 parts, then we have 7 st for each part. Pattern is ready, now we can start crocheting. Work in turns. R1: ch 3, 7 dc, 3 dc into one st (that is raglan st), 4 dc, 3 dc into one st, 14 dc, 3 dc into one st, 4 dc, 3 dc into one st, 7 dc R2-4: crochet similar to first one only make Inc out of 3dc into the middle st of raglan st. Due to this our mantle increases little by little. Periodically try mantle on the bunny.

R5: ch 3, 1 dc into each st of previous row except sleeve stitches. So we've got holes for arms. Then crochet mantle around with sc. Bottom of the mantle we'll finish with ruche: 5 dc into the first st of previous row, 1 sl st into the 2nd and 3rd st of the row...alternate this sequence till the end of the row. Don't forget to make a loop for button.
