Stitching Instructions for Making Valentin Pattern:
Bunny Body:
- Start the body: Begin with a magic ring and place your stitch marker in the first stitch to track your rounds.
- Round 1: Work 6 sc into the magic ring. (6 stitches)
- Round 2: Work an increase in each stitch (2 sc in each stitch). (12 stitches)
- Round 3: Sc 1, inc around. (18 stitches)
- Round 4: Sc 2, inc around. (24 stitches)
- Round 5: Sc 3, inc around. (30 stitches)
- Rounds 6–10: Sc in each stitch around. (30 stitches)
- Round 11: Sc 3, dec around. (24 stitches)
- Round 12: Sc 2, dec around. (18 stitches)
- Round 13: Sc 1, dec around. (12 stitches)
- Round 14: Dec around. (6 stitches)
- Fasten off, leaving a long tail for closing. Gently stuff the bunny body with the toy stuffing.
Bunny Ears (Make 2):
- Begin the ear: Start with a chain of 6.
- Row 1: Starting from the second chain from the hook, work 1 sc in each chain stitch (5 stitches).
- Row 2: Ch 1, turn, sc in each stitch across. (5 stitches)
- Repeat Row 2 for 6 total rows or until the ears measure approximately 6 cm in length.
- Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Fold the base of each ear slightly for a gentle curve and attach to the top of the bunny’s head.
Heart:
- Start the heart shape: Begin with a magic ring.
- Round 1: Work 6 sc into the magic ring. (6 stitches)
- Round 2: Work an increase in each stitch (2 sc in each stitch). (12 stitches)
- Round 3: Sc 1, inc around. (18 stitches)
- Round 4: Sc 2, inc around. (24 stitches)
- Round 5: Sc 3, inc around. (30 stitches)
- Round 6: Sc 4, inc around. (36 stitches)
- Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Gently pinch the top of the heart to create a pointed shape. Secure the top with the yarn tail.
Assembly:
- Attaching the Heart: Place the heart in the bunny’s arms. Using a yarn needle, sew the heart securely into the bunny’s hands. If desired, bend the arms slightly to help the bunny hold the heart naturally.
- Attaching the Ears: Position the ears on the bunny’s head and sew them into place using the yarn needle. Curve the ears slightly outward for a gentle and balanced appearance.
- Facial Features (Optional): With black yarn or embroidery floss, create two small dots for the eyes and stitch a small triangular nose beneath them.
Finishing:
- Tidy up any loose ends by threading them through with a yarn needle.
- Adjust the stuffing in the bunny’s body if necessary, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
