Bunny-Inspired Crochet Set

Materials:

  • Chunky yarn (weight category 5), approx. 300 yards (150 yards for the balaclava, 150 yards for the crop top)
  • 5.5 mm (I-9) crochet hook
  • Stitch marker
  • Scissors
  • Tapestry needle for weaving ends

Gauge:

9 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in double crochet. To measure gauge, crochet a swatch of about 10 stitches wide and 10 rows high, then measure the dimensions after lightly stretching it.

Abbreviations:

  • ch: chain
  • dc: double crochet
  • sl st: slip stitch
  • sc: single crochet
  • st(s): stitch(es)

Instructions:

Bunny Balaclava:

  1. Start with a magic ring. Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Work 11 dc into the ring. Pull the ring tight and join with a sl st to the top of the starting chain (12 dc total).
  2. Round 2: Ch 3, dc in the same st. 2 dc in each st around. Join (24 dc).
  3. Round 3: Ch 3, *dc in next st, 2 dc in next st*. Repeat around. Join (36 dc).
  4. Round 4-6: Ch 3, dc in each st around. Join (36 dc).
  5. Round 7: Ch 3, *dc in next 5 sts, 2 dc in next st*. Repeat around. Join (42 dc).
  6. Round 8-10: Ch 3, dc in each st around. Join (42 dc).
  7. Round 11: Ch 3, *dc in next 6 sts, 2 dc in next st*. Repeat around. Join (48 dc).
  8. Rounds 12-14: Ch 3, dc in each st around. Join (48 dc).
  9. For the face opening, leave the last two rounds unworked. Finish off and leave a long tail for sewing.
  10. To create the ear flaps, attach yarn to the side of the balaclava, ch 15 and work back in sc to create a flap. Make two ear flaps total.

Fluffy Crop Top:

  1. Chain 40 (or desired width for size). Join to form a circle with a sl st, being careful not to twist the chain.
  2. Row 1: Ch 1, sc in each ch around. Join.
  3. Row 2: Ch 3, *skip next st, dc in next st, ch 1*. Repeat around. Join.
  4. Row 3: Ch 1, *sc in each ch-1 space* around. Join.
  5. Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until the crop top reaches desired length (about 6-8 inches is recommended).
  6. Fasten off and weave in all ends.

Finishing:

Weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle. For a more structured look, lightly block the balaclava and crop top by wetting them and laying them flat to dry. This helps the stitches settle and gives a polished finish.

Optional Variations:

Experiment with colors by using different shades for the balaclava and crop top. You can also add little pom-poms to the tips of the bunny ears for an extra touch of whimsy!
