Crochet Bunny Applique Pattern

This crochet bunny applique is one of several spring themed appliques for the Spring Blanket.

View the free written pattern as well as the video tutorial below. The granny square pattern is also included after the applique pattern.

This bunny is made up of few different parts and then sewn together at the end. The applique gives a side view of a bunny laying down.

The safety eye attached to the head of the bunny can be easily swapped for a sewn on french knot using black yarn. This would be a good option if the applique is going to be attached to an item that is given to a baby.

I do not have issues with the safety eye poking through the back, but you can also clip the excess or melt down the back with an iron carefully.
