Design Features
- Three removable accessories are included: a bonnet, a big bow headband, and a sakura cherry blossom flower headband.
- The bunny's arms are designed with wider hands for young children to grip, so they can easily carry this favorite blankie with them!
- The ears are double layered, making them extra plush and also bendable.

~ FINISHING INSTRUCTIONS ~
- First, we will work on sewing the ears to the head. The ears will need to fit through the bunny’s hood. Position the hood over the head first, and find where the holes are located (Tip: use bobby pins to help mark the spot). Pinch the bottom of each ear before sewing it to the head.
- Sew sleepy eyes with grey yarn, and a “Y” shaped nose with pink yarn to the face.
- You can either sew both arms between R1-R2 of the blanket, or follow the "Tab Arm" adaption below, which will make them more secure if the lovey is thrown about by the child:
"I adapted the tops of the arms, (crocheted across top of each arm closing them, then sc’d a tab, by crocheting 4 sc’s across and 4 rows,) enabling me to sew this tab to the blanket and then putting the head on top." - Adaptation by Herod, Ravelry - Sew the head to the center of the blanket.
- Dress the bunny using accessories (bonnet, flower, bow).
