Substituting 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, creating a gauge swatch is highly recommended. This simple step will help you verify that your tension and stitch count align with the pattern’s requirements, ensuring a finished blanket of the same size. You may need to adjust your hook size until you obtain the correct gauge.
Suitable Yarn Substitutes
Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick
Materials
US N/15 (10mm)
US K/10.5 (6.5mm)
or size need to obtain gauge
US 7 (4.5mm) – Carrot
Use code MJS15 for 15% off Furls Crochet
Polyester fibrefill for snout & carrots
Crochet Bunny Blanket Construction
The blanket and hood are worked using a 10mm crochet hook and 1 strand of super bulky yarn; you may substitute with worsted weight yarn by holding 2 strands together, double the yardage required. The hood pieces are made using a 6.5mm crochet hook. The blanket is worked from the bottom up.
The rabbit tail is graphed into the back of the blanket. Each colour change is worked from a separate ball to avoid carrying yarn. The Hood is worked separately, then centred and sewn to the top of the blanket.
Turning ch doesn’t count as a stitch. Video tutorial is included in toddler size on YouTube.
Gauge
6 sts and 6 rows equal to 4″ in esc with 10mm crochet hook
Obtaining the correct gauge is fundamental to having correct sizing. You may need to adjust your hook size to meet the pattern gauge.
