Hello, crochet friends Today, I’m thrilled to share a delightfully spooky (yes, that’s spooky + cute!) crochet project: the Dead Bunny by Monster Hook. This little bunny is equal parts eerie and adorable, with its bold black body, playful pops of color, and whimsical felt eyes. Measuring about 5.5 inches tall, it’s a quick and satisfying make—perfect for beginners or anyone looking for a fun, small project.
This pattern is ideal for:
- Halloween lovers who want a non-scary, quirky decoration.
- Gift-givers—imagine pairing this bunny with a mini pumpkin or a spooky-themed gift basket!
- New crocheters eager to practice increases, decreases, and simple shaping.
The tutorial is designed to be easy to follow, with clear instructions and helpful tips. Plus, the bunny’s small size means you can whip one up in an afternoon! Just grab your hook, some yarn, and let’s get stitching.
