There’s something endearing about crafting a little creature that feels alive with texture and color.
These woven bunnies capture that feeling perfectly.
You weave their soft sweaters from yarn scraps, then tie a tiny scarf around their necks to finish their look.
Each bunny ends up unique, some shy, some smiling, all charming. It’s a simple project that lets your imagination hop freely.
Materials Needed
- Cardboard (cut into bunny shapes, about 8–10 inches tall)
- Colored yarn (variety of soft pastel or bright tones)
- Scissors
- Black marker or colored pencils
- Glue or tape
- Yarn needle (plastic ones work best for kids)
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Cut a bunny silhouette from sturdy cardboard, include long ears and little legs for stability.
Step 2: Draw your bunny’s face using a black marker. Then add details like sleepy eyes, a button nose, or a big smile.
Step 3: Cut small notches along each side of the bunny’s body where the sweater will go.
Step 4: Secure one end of the yarn at the back, then weave over and under through the notches until the belly is covered.
You can also use different colors for a striped sweater effect.
Step 5: Tie off the yarn securely on the back and add a small yarn scarf around the neck for extra cuteness.
Tips:
Try using textured or multicolored yarn for fun patterns. You can also create a whole bunny family by using different yarn thicknesses and cardboard sizes!
