It’s spring! And, even though I may be too late for Easter with this bunny, I hope that you will have lots of fun weaving and spool knitting a darling Springtime Bunny.
You’ll need: A ball of pink yarn (I used Bernat Denimstyle in Weathered Rose)
A Potholder Loom,a weaving hook, a chopstick,a crochet hook,
a 4 peg spool knitter, a loop lifter,
a craft needle, a ruler, a dime, scissors, about an ounce of polyester stuffing,
about 10 inches of red yarn, a paper punch for circles, a paper punch for the heart,
or cut it out of junk mail freehand, thick craft glue, a bee button (ONLY for older children – NEVER use buttons, charms or beads on any toy or doll that you give to any child that is under the age of 7 years old), about 2 square inches (5 cm) of black felt for eyes.
Weave one square on your potholder loom, using two strands of yarn held together.
Spool knit the following cords with all 4 pegs, using only 1 strand of yarn:
For the ears: 2 cords that are each 4 inches (10 cm) long
For the paws: 4 cords that are each 2 inches (5 cm) long.
Now, click on the video, and make yourself a Springtime Plushie Potholder Loom and Spool knitted Bunny!

What a darling bunny. I wish I had my loom and spool knitter in Mississippi with me. I’d make some for my grandchildren.
Have a great day. Barbara
Thanks for the very professional video. I love your creativity.
Thanks, Barbara….. who knows? You might find one in a second hand store….
Thank you so much, Colleen! I really appreciate your kind comment!
I never understood how you could make such darling little dolls with a spool knitter. Thank you for the video. I get it now!!!!
This is darling!
Thanks so much, Eileen!
Video tutorials can be really helpful! I am really enjoying learning how to make the best possible video tutes!
You did a really nice job. Some YouTube videos are pretty amateurish. Is there no end to your talents?
LOL… you are soooooooooooo kind, Eileen! I am working very hard to learn better ways of working with technology, so it’s a constant learning curve! Good to get those neural nets firing! *G*

What can’t I do? Crossword puzzles. I love Scrabble, and am very good at it, but crossword puzzles totally elude me! LOL!
and, I can’t dance, sing or play an instrument….. sigh…..
Ah well, I CAN weave, so I will get back to that!
