Hello there my fellow crochet lovers!
I started crocheting as a hobby. I have created different products which could be useful to anyone. Then, a close friend of mine encouraged me to do more products and sell it – she even proposed to help me sell my products. Thus, I started receiving few orders for different handmade products mainly halter tops, beanies, scarves and cute little clothes for newborn.
While making this project and writing this blog, I’m actually due to delvier our baby girl soon! Gladly, being on 38th week of pregnancy, I still have the energy to crochet some handmade gifts for our upcoming little one.
This time, I made a giant bunny rabbit, ths might be even bigger than her when I will give birth to her. So I’m expecting she shall be able to play with it after several months.
Hence, this project turned out so cute and lovely!
I have written the whole pattern on this blog and I’m hoping you’ll like it. The pattern is totally easy and beginner-friendly. Hope you like this pattern!
