Meet Bella. I made her yesterday. Here's her story.
I got a phone call about 9:30 a.m. inviting us to our great niece's 1st birthday party. I immediately got on Ravelry to look for toy patterns. I wasn't having a bunch of luck when I remembered that Lion Brand has toy patterns. I found Bella there.
I got started crocheting about 10 a.m. and by 11:30 decided that there was no way I was going to get it done on time since I had another obligation for most of the afternoon. So I thought about what makes a bunny a bunny and of course that's the ears and the tail. So Bella didn't get any arms and legs, but the mom of our great niece said she looks like the Velveteen Rabbit so Bella is in good company!
I finished crocheting Bella about 1:15 p.m. and headed to our Church Ladies' Pie Social and got home from that about 4:30 p.m. I wrapped Bella in some pretty pink tissue paper and tied it with some yarn that's the same as her tail. We arrived at the birthday party about 5 p.m.Here's the scoop on Bella.
Caron Simply Soft yarn.
Size G crochet hook.
Bella the Bunny pattern.
Just a bit of embroidery thread for eyes, mouth and nose.
That's it...and a few hours of crocheting as fast as you can go! :)
BTW, a very happy ending, great niece absolutely fell in love with Bella.
