Using light yellow yarn, make a magic circle and work 6 sc into it. (6)

Increase similarly as with the basket until your bunny measures 8 inches tall (approx. 8 rounds).

Use the safety eyes before closing the bunny's head; sew on the nose with scrap yarn, and add stuffing.

For the ears, chain 12, turn, and work 1 dc in each st; finish by sewing the ears onto the bunny's head.

Optional Variations:

Change the colors of the yarn for a different look or use patterned yarn.
