Substituting Yarn
Wool of The Andes worsted is a charming rustic wool yarn that offers a wide range of colours, allowing you to find the perfect match for your home decor.
For an alternative to worsted-weight yarn consider using Super Bulky weight Yarn instead. Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick, Bernat Softee Chunky and Lion Brand Hue + Me. These yarns are excellent choices and can be used effectively in place of the specified yarn.
When substituting yarn, it’s advisable to select a yarn with a weight comparable to the one recommended in the pattern for the exact sizing.
Also, before you begin your project, it’s highly recommended that you create a gauge swatch. This simple step will help you verify that your tension and stitch count align with the pattern’s requirements, ensuring a finished bunny of the same size.

Construction
The Rustic Farmhouse Bunny is crocheted in a seamless, continuous round from the bottom up. Ensure to use a stitch marker to designate the first stitch of each round to maintain accurate tracking. Begin by working the base, then transition to decreasing stitches to shape the neck before increasing stitches to form the head.
For added stability, insert a rice bag into the body of the bunny. Stuffing can be added progressively during the crocheting process. Attach the ears before closing the head. To create the bunny’s fluffy tail, utilize a pom pom maker for a cute finishing touch.
Gauge
5 sts and 5 rows equal to 2″ with a 7mm crochet hook (stuffed) 5.5 sts and 5.5 rows not stuffed

Ears: Make 2
Begin by preparing a 12″ length pipe cleaner, bending it at the 2″ mark on each end. Create a slip knot on the hook. Proceed to single crochet across the section of the pipe cleaner between the bends, measuring 8″ (working approximately 25 stitches).
Upon reaching the end of this section, fasten off with a tail to secure the crochet work. To secure the base of the ears, twist the ends of the pipe cleaner together and knot the starting and ending tails.
Utilize each end of the pipe cleaner to attach the ear to the last and second-last round of the head. Twist the pipe cleaner to the inside of the head to ensure a secure attachment. Additionally, use each tail end to tie it to the inside of the ear. Follow this method to attach both ears for a finished and stable construction.
Head Closure
Using a yarn needle and the finishing tail, weave through the flo of each stitch around. Pull the yarn tight and continue weaving through the last round to secure the closure.
While weaving, thread through the sides of the ears to position them closer together for a neat finish. For a visual demonstration, refer to the video tutorial. Once completed, trim any excess tails for a clean final appearance.
Neck Bow
Prepare a 26″ strand of twine or ribbon for the neck bow. Tie it around the neck, opting for various coloured twine to add a touch of colour to the bunny.
Bunny Tail
Select a 2.5″ pompom maker or your desired size. Begin by opening the pompom maker and wrapping yarn around the arms on each side. After wrapping, cut the yarn along the grooves.
To secure the pompom, knot two strands of yarn through the grooves- these tails will be utilized to attach the tail to the bunny. Finally, open the pompom maker and trim the pompom into shape for a fluffy and adorable bunny tail.
Utilize a yarn needle and yarn tails to attach the tail to the bunny. Knot the tails securely to the bunny and weave them in to finish.
