My last post was about a pattern called "Bunny Blanket Buddy" by Lion Brand Yarn, and how I wasn't 100% in love with the end product. Well, I took another stab at it -- with some alterations.
I lengthened the ears like I talked about. I added 10 stitches onto their pattern. Ten so that it'd be easy to do the additions in my head. When it says to cast on 17, I cast on 27. When it says to purl 14 stitches, I purled 24. When it says to bind of 18, I bind of 28. Piece of cake and looks much more "bunny".
I also shortened the head just a touch, by .5". You can't tell at all in the picture, but the subtle difference looks much more appealing to me in person.
The last change I made was embroidering the face in lighter colors. The black was too bold for me -- it didn't read "baby", so I went for a rose color for the nose and grey for everything else to soften it up.
Now it's definitely my new go-to baby gift. I'm much happier with it. What do you think?
Great job, luv your work!
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I can see a little one taking one of these to bed at night to snuggle with.
