Hi there! What about crocheting a fingernail-sized bunny? It’ll live in the smallest of pockets, or make a nice friend for the doll.
When using the materials listed (one strand of embroidery floss and a 0.5 mm crochet hook [US Steel Crochet Hook Size 18]), the resulting bunny will be 2 cm [0.8 in] tall, ears not counted.
Materials and tools.
- Embroidery floss in Main Color, skein separated (stripped) into individual strands. (I use Iris by Gamma, or DMC brand cotton embroidery floss). May be substituted with thin sewing thread. The thinner the thread, the smaller the bunny will turn out.
- Embroidery floss or sewing thread in color White for the muzzle and paws.
- A length of black sewing thread for the eyelids and stripes on the muzzle.
- Embroidery floss in any color for embroidering the nose.
- Rip-resistant thread for cinching. (I used sturdy sewing thread held double.)
- Crochet hook 0.5 mm [US Steel Crochet Hook Size 18].
- Glass toy eyes diameter 1 mm. (What to do if eyes in this size are not available? You can make your own from polymer clay and cover them with a glossy enamel finish, or use seed beads.)
- Glue gel, “Moment” brand super glue.
- Thin beading needle, diameter 0.45 mm [0.02 in].
- Sharp nail scissors.
- Stuffing (polyester fiberfil).
- A toothpick or broken felting needle – used to insert stuffing.
- For blushing – oil pastel and toothpick.
