A couple of weeks ago we were discussing on Knitty the subject of knitted toys. I ran across Sophie a sweet little girlie bunny. Well I have been wanting to knit Oliver a toy, and the pink bunny wouldn't work. So I decided to make a boyish Sophie.
Pattern: Sophie
Yarn: I used the yarn from my Funky Sock Monkey kit, Fire on the Mountain and Sherbert, both STR heavyweight.
Needles: Because I wanted a bigger bunny than the original pattern called for, I used size 6 needles instead of 2's.
Notes: Like I said I upped the yarn size and the needle size. Other than that I followed the pattern exactly.
I love this bunny. I don't think it turned out too girly, and it is the perfect size I envisioned.
Adored the pattern, extremely easy to follow and I can't wait to make the next patterns in her collection, the elephant and the polar bear!!
