  • Soft Grey

• 4.0 mm crochet hook
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring using the forest green yarn. This will be the foundation for your first C2C block.
2. Create the First C2C Block: Chain 6 (this counts as your first C2C block). In the magic ring, work 3 double crochets (dc), then chain 3, and finish with 3 more double crochets. Pull the magic ring tight to close it.
3. Continue Increasing: To create the next blocks, chain 6 again. In the previous block, work 3 double crochets, chain 3, and 3 double crochets in the new block. Alternate between forest green and sky blue yarn for the blocks to create a forest and sky background. Keep adding blocks diagonally until you reach your desired width (approximately 10 blocks wide for a baby blanket).
4. Incorporate the Bunny: Once you have reached the desired width, switch to soft grey yarn. Begin forming the silhouette of the bunny by creating additional blocks. Position the blocks to outline the bunny's shape, ensuring the bunny is centered in the blanket.
5. Add Bunny Details: Use white yarn to crochet the bunny's tail and facial features. For the tail, create a small C2C block and attach it to the appropriate position. For the facial features, use small chains and single crochet stitches to create eyes and a nose.
6. Complete the Background: After finishing the bunny, continue adding blocks in the forest green and sky blue colors until the blanket reaches your desired size. This will create a beautiful and balanced woodland scene.
7. Begin Decreasing: To form the top of the blanket, start decreasing the number of blocks. This is done by skipping the last block in each row and continuing to work in the established color pattern. Keep decreasing until you have a single block at the top.
8. Finish with a Border: To give your blanket a polished look, create a border around the entire blanket using forest green yarn. Work a simple single crochet stitch (sc) around the edges, ensuring to place 3 single crochets in each corner to maintain the shape.
9. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends from your yarn. This will give your blanket a clean finish.

Congratulations! You have successfully created your Whimsical Woodland Bunny C2C Baby Blanket. This cozy and charming blanket will surely be a treasured item in your nursery.
