GAUGE:

20 sc + 27 rows = 4 in. [10 cm]. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Best Bunny - easy and super cute Reviewed by Michelle Rau on 2008-05-15
I made one of these for a charity sale at work and it sold within minutes. Starting the ears with 4 sc rounds was a little hard on the hands, I might substitute a different ear next time as the ears can be a little too stiff to curve nicely unless you crochet them a little loosely. The tiny round tail and the bulb legs are so cute and nicely balance the bunny. I'm definitely going to make more of these.
