when I saw it for the first time. There is was, all completed and ready to save as a PDF.
I admit that it was all a little rushed in the end but after stopping and starting this project again and again over the years, I decided it was time to just finish it.
And I did!
You can find it listed on my Free Patterns and Tutorials page or simply click on the pic in this post for a link to the PDF.

Why am I having trouble on having the side a and B turning out facing the wrong way?
I’m by no means a very experienced knitter but do know the basics. I am at a loss though on the instructions. I started with the “Head – Side A” and on Row 11, I did the cast off of 8 stitches and placed a marker & completed the row. I then completed rows 12 thru 15. Next is to cast off but I don’t know what to do with my marker or why it is there. If anyone can help, I would sure appreciate it! Thank you!
I would like the pattern, is it still available? You are so talented. I have a friend in Montana (she is 20 and having a baby) that finds knits for for me to make for her. This is one she sent. Thank you
here is a link to the pattern. Thanks

What is the finished length of the animals?? Thanks so much ❤
I am looking for small- about 5inches or so. Any suggestions for accomplishing this if these are bigger than that.
Hi.
Could you send me the full pattern of rabbits & any other toys please.
Lovely pattern, my friend found this for me and I will enjoy making them. Can I sell the finished animals please, on my craft table.
Margaret
Yes but please advertise where the pattern came from.

I was wondering if I could get photos of each piece.
Hi, only just found your blog would love to have the pattern for rabbit and teddy bear, as niece is having a baby. Would be very grateful if you could please email it to me. Many many thanks Jo
Thanks for any other informative web site. The
place else may I get that type of information
written in such an ideal method? I have a project
that I’m just now working on, and I have been at the look out for such info.
Thank you so much for this pattern! I think it will be just what my granddaughter wants for her birthday! I know it takes a lot of work to get an idea ready for publication.
So my mother and I decided to make these stuffed animals, she knits and I sew all the pieces together and make the details. We made the bunny first and it turned out so cute! We then used the same pattern and added different details to make some other animals. We are currently working on a fox and we finished a lion. Just wanted to share how our lion turned out. Thanks so much for the awesome patterns!

Hi I’ve made side A of rabbits head and also side B but on side B the garter stitch side faces out instead of stockingnette stitch. I’ve knitted B twice with same thing happening. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
I’m making the same mistake 😦 not sure where I’m going wrong either. After three attempts, I’ve got the stitch the correct way round but the shape does not match side A at all ??
April, these patterns are so cute, I almost feel offended. I have never seen anything so adorable.!!! Great work. I must learn to make these. I am so amazed. I can’t wait for my little one to play with them.
I would love to make these for my grandchildren!
This specific post, “I almost cried | by small means”
dacmobile ended up being terrific. I’m printing out a clone to
clearly show my personal associates. Thank you-Maddison
I love this darling pattern, I have completed the bunny and the bear, and the adorable dress, BUT, I am stumped by the overalls, I am a self-taught knitter I dont understand how to place the two leg stitches on the left needle side by side with right sides facing. Help!! Can you give me more step by step instructions? Thank you for your help.Debbie
So kind of you to share these lovely patterns. Thank you so much. x

I am a beginer-ish knitter and I just made my first bear with your pattern. It was just complicated enough not to be boring but also simple enough for me to follow. Thank you so much for sharing!
Love this pattern. Have just made the bunny and dungerees for my grandson. So cute! Just one little thing……..I am now making the hooded jacket and there do not appear to be any instructions for the left front. Is it me or are they missing?
You are absolutely correct. I apologize for the over site. Until I have a minute to adjust the pattern and make a new pdf I have updated this post with instructions at the bottom. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. April

Thank you so much for your quick response. I feel a bit guilty having to tell you after you have already gone to so much trouble to give us such lovely patterns. I only mentioned it because my bunny was feeling a bit chilly with only half a jacket! Now he is properly dressed I must get on and make the bear for my other grandson. Wonderful Easter presents and not bad for their teeth either!
