This pattern uses weight 6 blanket yarn. Though any yarn may be used, it is highly recommended to use a bulky weight yarn for this pattern. Use a hook 1-2 sizes smaller than your yarn calls for. This pattern is in US crochet terms.

*Safety eyes are NOT recommended for children who are three years old or younger.

The Bunny pictured in the pattern is made with Sweet Snuggles Lite yarn.
