STUFFED TOY TRIO

Knit Simple Magazine Holiday 2013 #9

Design by Debbie Bliss

Variations of the classic stuffed animal, these rabbits are stitched in pieces and stuffed during assembly. The faces are then embroidered on. The same pattern in three weights of yarn creates three different sizes, making a bunny family.
