For the mini-monsters, quickly ready is a very important factor, in a craft. If it takes too long for glue, clay and/or paint to dry, then the enthusiasm also dries up :( That also applies to knitting, crochet or sewing. That's why this bunny is a perfect knitting project for kids of today. They can do it all by themselves - with a tiny bit of help - and then the rabbit is ready!

How to knit a bunny
We use Julia knitting yarn from Zeeman with needles number 8

Turn you knitting and lace a triangle.

Place the filling on the triangle.

Thread the triangle with the same colour wool as you knitting, not orange, like you see in the picture
