01
Bunny Ears
2:54:29
Qty 2
[All in Main Color]
Slip knot, ch 8
Row 1: skip 2 chs, working in the BLO of the chs, dc 2, hdc 2, sc2tog (5)
Ch 1, cut the yarn, pull through. Sew onto the head using the two tail ends.
02
Buck Tooth
2:58:50
[All in White]
Slip knot, ch 3
Rnd 1: skip 2 chs, hdc in BLO of the first ch. Ch 1, cut the yarn and pull through.
Sew one of these onto the face just under the Jowls (easier to sew on before the Jowls).
03
Jowls

[All in Main Color]
Magic loop
Rnd 1: ch 1, hdc 1, sc 3, hdc 1, slst 1
Cut the yarn, pull through and insert the tail in back through the center. Pull the magic loop tight.
(2:00:00) Sew on just between the eyes. Use a second strand of complementary colored yarn to embroider a nose and help secure to the body.

Magic loop
Rnd 1: sc 6 in the magic loop (6)
In the following round we’ll be making mbo (Mini Bobble) stitches for the eyes. Try crocheting them in White to get a googly eyed look. See the video at (11:36) for a detailed example.
mbo = Mini Bobble (dc3tog)
{ } = Worked in the same stitch
[W] = Stitch in white
Mini Bobble
(11:36)Try not changing to white for the eyes to make a more minimalistic look to your frog. You can also use a line of thread for the eye instead of a safety eye!
Rnd 2: inc 1, {sc 1, mbo 1 [W]}, inc 2, {mbo 1 [W], sc 1}, inc 1 (12)
Rnd 3: sc 3, inc 1, sc 5, inc 1, sc 2 (14)
Rnd 4: sc 4, inc 1, sc 6, inc 1, sc 2 (16)
Rnd 5: sc 5, inc 1, sc 6, inc 1, sc 3 (18)
Rnd 6: sc in each st (18)
(3:14:15) Add eyes into the mbo stitches from Rnd 2. First, insert a hook between the stitches on either the left or right of the center. Twist the hook to separate the stitches and leave a hole where you can insert the back of a 6mm or 8mm safety eye. Lock onto the back on the inside. There are a few ways to do this to make your Bawnimals looking different directions.
Sew on the buck teeth between the eyes before adding the jowls over them. You’ll be using the same 2 stitches on the body to secure both the teeth and jowls.
Sew on the jowls between the eyes. You can use the two tail ends through the 2 stitches just between the eyes, and embroider a nose to the end using a different shade of yarn, double knotted in the back to secure the nose better.
Sew on the ears on the outside of both the eyes. I like to make sure the ears are slightly higher using the locations in images C and D below.
Tail bobble stitch Underlined so you don’t miss it!
Rnd 7: sc 1, mbo 1 [W], sc 4, working into the inc from Rnd 4 (two Rnds up) bo 1, (Pic A)
sc 1, working into the st from Rnd 5 (one Rnd up) bo 1, (Pic B)
sc 3, working into the st from Rnd 5 (one Rnd up) bo 1, (Pic C)
sc 1, working into the inc from Rnd 4 (two Rnds up) bo 1, (Pic D)
sc 3 (18)
Rnd 8: [sc 1, invdec 1] 6 times (12)
Stuff mostly. Add 2 mini magnets into the top of the head to make your Bunny stackable. Make sure it’s flipped the correct way as it is difficult to flip it later!
Rnd 9: invdec in each st (6)
Stuff fully. Add 2 more mini magnets to the bottom (make sure it’s flipped correctly!) and sew closed.
