Knitting Pattern By Svetlana Pertseva Skill level: Experienced

Abbreviations K – knit P - purl KFB – knit the front and back of a stitch (a way to make an increase) KFBF – knit the front, the back and again the front of a stitch (a way to make a double increase) K2tog – knit two sts together (a way to make a decrease) K3tog – knit three sts together st st – stocking stitch (K on the one side and P on the other side) Rnd – round (N sts) – number of sts in a row/round ( ) x N – repeat instructions in brackets N times st – stitch edge st - edge stitch yo – yarn over tbl - through back of loop

Finished size Approx. 55 cm (21.6 inches) tall without ears/ 85 cm (33.5 inches) with ears included using the

Rabbit Dude Keks Materials and tools Yarn: ü main color yarn – any yarn. I used approximately 2 skeins of “Baby Softy” by Alize (100% polyester, 50g/115m). ü contrasting color yarn – any yarn that knits to the same gauge as main color yarn. I used approximately 1 skein of “Baby Softy” by Alize (100% polyester, 50g/115m). ü red or bright pink color yarn – any yarn that knits to the same gauge as main color yarn. I used approximately 10 m of bright pink “Baby Softy” by Alize (100% polyester, 50g/115m). You can find yarn in this shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/LittleOwlsHutRUSSIAN Tip: You can use any fluffy yarn (chenille, velour, wool, etc). The thicker the yarn, the bigger your toy will be. Make sure the yarn you use is soft. If you use the yarn that is too stiff, you will not be able to shape the muzzle nicely. ü 10 double pointed needles – I used 2.5 mm. ü Two ready-made eyes (I used 18-20 mm in diameter). You can use beads or half beads instead. ü Sewing needle and tapestry needle for needle sculpting. ü Strong thread for needle sculpting. ü A piece of thick cloth to make the neck firmer (optional). ü Stuffing.

When making toys, you should use much smaller knitting needles than recommended for the yarn you choose. Make sure you knit tight enough; otherwise, the stuffing will show through the holes. TIP Work st st unless otherwise stated. Do not remove all markers until the toy is finished or unless stated in the pattern!

Tip (round marker) You will need a round marker to keep track of where the beginning of each round starts. Move the marker up to the first stitch of the next round after finishing the previous one. A new round starts from the knitting needle following the one you ended the round with. If you don't have a round marker you can always use a scrap of contrasting yarn instead. You can see it in my photos. Note Please note that originally it is a crocheted toy. That is why many pictures of this pattern are taken from the crocheted version of the pattern as they are more informative (e.g. the process of assembling the toes and fingers) or the same for both versions of the pattern (e.g. assembling, needle sculpting).

double-pointed needles. Rnds 1-5: P32 = 32 sts Divide the piece in two halves in your mind (16 sts for each eyelid) and work each eyelid separately. To do that you need to divide the sts for the first eyelid between three double pointed needles and move the sts for the second eyelid on stitch holders.

Assemble the eyes. Insert the whites of the eyes into the eyelids. Secure with a couple of stitches at the sides using sewing thread of matching color.

Each eyelid is worked as follows: Rnds 1-7: K16 = 16 sts Rnd 8: (K2, K2tog) х 4 = 12 sts Rnd 9: K12 = 12 sts Rnd 10: (K1, K2tog) х 4 = 8 sts Rnd 11: K8 = 8 sts

Attach the ready-made eyes. Glue them if needed.

Rnd 12: (K2tog) x 4 = 4 sts Break yarn, leaving a tail. Thread it through the sts on the needles and draw up tightly.
