Mark the Bunny (Part 1)
Mark the Bunny is the best friend of Cleo, both together walk through the gardens of your homes every April, visiting the children and bringing them spring joy and a new beginning.
Enjoy Cleo and Mark the bunny too, to give to the little ones this Easter!
Grab your crochet hook and materials that I detail below and let’s crochet together! The nice part of Mark the Bunny (Part 1) is that legs, body and head are worked in just one piece, no sewing it!
You can always purchase for a small amount the pattern in pdf format, free of Ads and with photos of the steps for a better understanding. In that case I appreciate your support ❤️❤️❤️
Available in Etsy, Ravelry and here.
