Welcome back to my blog my friends!
March has started and it's time to have some fun with another beautiful yarn from Lion Brand Yarn Company!
For today's project I decided to revisit an old design of mine - Camille the Bunny.
I reworked the bunny, improving little things here and there, adjusting proportions and make Camille look even cuter!
The gorgeous and super soft Lion Brand Pound of Love works up nicely, and the ball size makes it just right to stitch up big projects like blankets and afghans.
The free pattern you'll find below includes the instructions to crochet the bunny' body.
If you'd like to complete the look creating the adorable turquoise dress, head over my Etsy page to find the complete version of the pattern.
***You can purchase a downloadable AD-FREE PDF of the pattern with more than 40
step-by-step pictures, diagrams

The nose... I am absolutely stumped how to make the nose. After i close the center of the MR, what does it mean to do "Turn – 2 sc in each of the next 2 sts – 4 sc." ?? What do I consider the "next 2 sts" ? I have tried 3 times and still can't make sense of it... Please help 🙏🏻
Hi dear Elisa, how to make the sweater? Thank you so much for your patterns ❤️
