From Knitted Toy Box comes this gorgeous little sugar bunny, knit him up for easter! Sugar Bunny – Sweet Knitted Toy Pattern

The Sugar Bunny is a charming and cuddly knitted toy, inspired by the popular Best Bunny pattern from Lion Brand but reimagined with a softer, sweeter design. Perfect for little hands, this toy has earned the official child seal of approval, delighting toddlers with its soft texture and lovable appearance.

Construction Notes:

Small embroidered details, such as the nose and eyes, add personality, making it a perfect keepsake or gift.

The bunny is worked in separate pieces – head, body, ears, arms, legs, and tail – and then assembled with mattress stitch.

Shaping is created using classic increases (kfb) and decreases (k2tog), giving the bunny a rounded, plush silhouette.

Textural details like the pink inner ears and limbs are added using contrasting yarn.

The bunny is stuffed firmly for structure but remains soft and squeezable for play.
