Testing
This pattern has been carefully tested by a team of crocheters of varying levels prior to publication. Pattern testing is to ensure that the pattern is suitable for familiar beginners, free of errors, and easy to understand.
One of the testers, @steve_notbark, is a beginner crocheter and was able to complete the project in confidence! Here's what he had to say about the pattern:
Pattern was great and easy to follow. You can see from my pictures I made the pink in the ears go crooked, lost count on a couple rows, and my colour changes are pretty terrible… but it STILL looks super cute and is obviously a bunny. The fact that your pattern could just absorb my errors and STILL be successful is amazing. It’s a real endorsement of how good your pattern is!! —@steve_notbark
Recommended Yarn
Surprise, surprise — I used Hobbii's Honey Bunny yarn to make this Honey Bunny! This plush, velvet chenille yarn makes such a soft and cuddly rabbit. However, you're welcome to try out different yarn fibers to create various looks, such as fur yarn, blanket yarn, wool, cotton, or acrylic.
