Crochet Bunny Ears Pattern and Free Tutorial!


Crochet costume bunny ears pattern. I made a pair of large, wearable ears, but you can use this technique to make a pair of ears in any size. You can find this pattern in my Ravelry store! Buy it now! Or check out the free video tutorial at the bottom of the page.

 I used Loops & Threads Impeccable in Soft Pink for the inner ear, and Red Heart Super Saver in White for the outer ear. But you can use any color you like. After making the ears, they can be either worn with pins in the hair, which is what I did for the pictures shown, or they can be sewn onto another project.
To pin in my hair, I used one barrette each at the back of the ear, and two bobby pins at each side of the ear. I just stuck the pins straight through the holes in the stitches. Also, my hair is really short, so I’m sure it’d be really easy to do if you have longer hair. 

Or you could sew the ears to a beanie, hoodie or cowl, or to a doll.

I also used craft wire to make a wire skeleton for the ears, so they can stand straight up.

Spotted Yoshi Easter Egg Pattern and Free Video Tutorial

Buy it now! Find the free video tutorial at the bottom of the page.
I made my eggs using Jumbo Easter eggs, to fit my Baby Yoshi amigurumi doll pattern. But this egg is easy to customize to a larger or smaller size. I used color changes to make the spots on the egg. 

I used Red Heart Super Saver for all my eggs. The colors I used were white, for the background color of all the eggs, and for the foreground colors I used: spring green, red, bubblegum pink, and royal blue, but you can use any color you want.
After making both halves of the egg I sewed both halves together on one side (the plastic egg halves were already broken when I got them -__- but it still worked! I just stitched both halves together with 2 stitches at the back, and hot glued them to both halves of a jumbo plastic Easter egg.
