As for the thickness of the threads, it is better for beginners to choose medium-sized yarn. Creating bunnies The simplest and most original option is knitting Easter bunnies. You can find yarn for knitting in your supplies, because you will need multi-colored pieces.
The most difficult part of this craft is knitting.ears and the correct selection of yarn. The first element of the bunny is its back, which is knitted on a ring of threads of 14 stitches. After the first row is knitted, another color is added and the number of double crochets is increased.
Thus, the entire element is knitted:after each row or several rows the color changes. The main thing – Make yarn overs correctly so that the product does not wrap. In the place where the bunny's head is planned, you need to knit a series of double crochets, then knit a series of half-crochet stitches.
The ears are also knitted in bourdon. After the first row is knitted, the loops are tightened in the shape of an eyelet. After several rows are knitted, another color is added.
The eyelet is knitted according to your imagination,just remember that you will need to create another similar element. Don't forget about the bunny's face, which needs to be created in the same way as the back and tummy, only monochromatic and smaller in size. The tail is created in the form of a pompom.

Selection of yarn So, when choosing yarn, keep in mind thatAfter all, you are creating a toy for a child, so more natural compositions are suitable. For kids, the ideal option would be cotton, silk, or high-quality acrylic. If you doubt the quality, try an experiment: set fire to a piece of thread and see the consequences. Natural yarn will turn to ash, and synthetic yarn will curl into a ball. When choosing yarn to create a toy, consider the elasticity of the thread, thickness and twist. The tighter the thread is twisted, the more suitable it is for crocheting a toy. For knitting needles, this option will not be acceptable, since the product will have a skewed appearance. The thickness of the thread also affects the appearance of the toy; you should choose thin threads for it, it will look neater. The thickness of the thread is indicated on the packaging in meters per 50 g or 100 g. The strength of the product depends on the elasticity of the thread. If you stretch the thread in your hands, and it then returns to its original shape, then such a thread is strong, and products knitted from it will not deform after washing or under the influence of time.
