Bunny
An upright bunny with tall ears and a round tail, an easy charmer for Easter and baby projects. The clean silhouette reads clearly even on a smaller grid. Bring it into the editor to flop one ear, add a carrot, or pair two bunnies nose to nose, then export the pattern or print a numbered chart to follow row by row.

Perfect for
Skill level: beginner
A great place to start filet crochet. The motif is forgiving, the blocks are easy to count, and the design still looks polished once it is blocked.
Yarn and hook
Work the bunny in cotton thread for a delicate result, or in DK or worsted cotton on a larger hook for a cushion- or blanket-scale version that still holds the mesh open. Traditional filet is a single colour, which keeps the block-and-mesh contrast readable, but you can always work the background in a second shade.
Project ideas
The bunny is a natural fit for a playful throw: try it on a pet-lover gift square, or a soft-toy-themed throw. Repeat, mirror, or frame it with open mesh to fill the space you have.
Who it's for
The bunny is an easy win when you are making something for a child or marking a baby shower. Stitch it in the recipient's favourite colour to make the gift feel personal.
Size, printing, and scaling
Expect roughly 5.5 by 6.5 inches at 4 mesh per inch. Drop to fine thread for a smaller piece, or move to worsted to scale it right up. Print the numbered grid to follow row by row, or open it in the editor to crop, enlarge, or tile the design before exporting a PDF or PNG.
