Bunny Pillow

 


Today I’ve got a cute little bunny pillow to share with you.  How cute is this for your spring decor, or maybe in a nursery or child’s room.  I found variations of a graph for this bunny floating around on pinterest.  I decided to tweak it into a pillow and do a written pattern version.  I have provided directions for both right and left handed crocheters.

Approximately 4 oz. blue worsted weight yarn (I used Red Heart Light Blue)
Approximately 2 oz. white or pastel multi worsted weight yarn (I used a vintage yarn brand called Kolor Match in Baby Rainbow Print)
J/6mm hook
14″ x 10″ pillow form (instructions to make your own are included at the bottom)

Stitches used
Chain (ch)
Slip Stitch (sl st)
Single Crochet (sc)

When working the color changes, I just carried my yarn along the back of my work since this will be hidden inside of the pillow.

Making a Custom Pillow Form

You will need;
fabric
poly stuffing

Cut 2 rectangles from your fabric that measure one inch longer and one inch wider than you want your finished size to be. In this case, the pillow is 14″ x 10″, so you will cut your fabric to 15″ x 11″.


I chose blue for my fabric since my pillow cover is blue but you can use white or whatever you choose.
Place pieces right side together, and mark where you want to leave an opening (for stuffing) with two pins.


Sew the pieces together with 1/2″ seams, back stitching at the opening.
Trim all 4 corners.

Turn right side out, and stuff to desired fullness.
Hand sew the opening closed. I just used a whip stitch since this will be hidden under the pillow cover.


And that is it! You now have a custom made pillow form!

You may not reproduce or copy my pattern or images in any way. You may link to my pattern from another site. You may sell items made from my pattern as long as you give me credit.
