Baby Bunny Blanket & Bunny Toy Knit Kit – Naturally K3071

Create a soft hand-knitted baby blanket with a coordinating crochet bunny toy in New Zealand Merino DK / 8 ply. The blanket combines a chevron-style garter-stitch pattern with bands of solid colour, while the bunny is finished with a dress, shoes and flower detail.

Your Kit Includes

  • Naturally K3071 printed knitting and crochet pattern
  • 6 × 50 g balls New Zealand Merino Prints DK / 8 ply in your selected main colour
  • 4 × 50 g balls New Zealand Merino DK / 8 ply in the coordinating contrast colour

Needles, crochet hook, toy filling, buttons and finishing materials are not included.

Bunny toy 138 metres 276 metres
Complete set 828 metres 552 metres

Quantities are approximate. The kit supplies the full pattern requirement for both projects.

Yarn Substitution

The kit uses the original yarn specified in the pattern: New Zealand Merino Prints DK / 8 ply and coordinating New Zealand Merino DK / 8 ply, each approximately 138 metres per 50 g ball. No yarn substitution or change in strand count is required; work with one strand throughout.

Tension

Blanket: 20 stitches × 42 rows = 10 × 10 cm in garter stitch on 4.50 mm needles.

Bunny: Crochet firmly so the filling does not show through. Make and check a swatch before beginning, adjusting the tool size if needed.

Needles and Notions

  • 4.50 mm circular knitting needle with an 80 cm cord
  • 3.00 mm crochet hook
  • Toy-safe polyester filling
  • Tapestry needle
  • Two buttons for the bunny’s eyes
  • Small amount of black thread for embroidering the face

Construction and Skill Notes

The blanket is worked flat in garter stitch with regular increases and decreases forming the chevron pattern. The main and contrast colours are changed in broad bands. The bunny is crocheted in separate pieces, lightly stuffed and assembled before its dress, shoes and flower are added.

Important: The bunny instructions use British crochet terminology. This is a mixed-technique project requiring both knitting and crochet.

  • Weight: DK / 8 ply
  • Ball size: 50 g
