Easter Bunny is knit from head to toe with 2 strands of worsted weight wool yarn in a single piece without seaming, then felted in a washing machine and stuffed with fiberfill. His face is simple embroidery done post-felting (with optional safety eyes). Depending on his mood, Easter Bunny can wear his ears either up or down. Because he is felted, Easter Bunny is very durable and will last for many Easters to come.
Directly from Cindy: "I’ve found that many of my customers are accomplished knitters but unsure of their felting skills. I’ve recently started a newsletter where I answer customer’s questions and provide tips on felting, as well as announce new patterns and provide substantial newsletter-only discounts."
