[9/16/2004] Baby gift for a friend's shower. I thought the "bunny in bunny slippers" concept was too cute for words!

Mutant Taz
[7/19/2004] I am horrible at sewing, so I think Taz looks a bit like a mutant, but since he's for a 2-year-old, I doubt his new owner will notice. Pattern Source: Looney Tunes: Bugs & Pals to Crochet leaflet from Leisure Arts.

Fishing bears
This "Bear Pair" has a music button hidden under the large "rock." Pattern Source: Leisure Arts leaflet #2474, Musical Cute Couples to Crochet. The leaflet is also available from Country Yarns.

Bunnies on seesaw
The seesaw has a music button hidden in its base. These bunnies were very quick to make since they're only about 6" tall; I finished the whole thing -- bunnies, clothing and seesaw -- in less than a week. The seesaw is made of a plastic canvas base (filled with navy beans to give it weight; the book suggested unpopped popcorn, but the beans were what I had and they work fine), and a ruler covered in plastic canvas for the board part. The whole thing has a crocheted cover, of course. Everything else is just plain worsted-weight yarn stuffed with polyester fiberfill, including the seesaw handles. They are now happily see-sawing in my mom's house. Pattern Source: Leisure Arts leaflet #2474, Musical Cute Couples to Crochet. The leaflet is also available from Country Yarns.

Penguin
Pattern Source: This was actually a kit from Herrschners. Unfortunately, I can no longer find the kit on their website, but they often "temporarily" discontinue items and later bring them back. If I see it again, I'll be sure to post the item number here. 09/27/2000 - a lady named Donna wrote me that she has the same pattern and says that if you want a copy, you might try writing to: TMA, Inc. 206 W 140th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90061 and ask for #704 Penguin. She doesn't know if they still have it, but if you must make a penguin it might be worth a shot!

Fuzzy teddy bear
This teddy bear is made from mohair-look yarn, and I made the scarf out of blue chenille. Pattern Source: Leisure Arts leaflet #2760, A Year of Teddy Bears, Also available from Country Yarns.

Tiny teddy
This little teddy bear is only about 4 inches tall. Pattern Source: Lion Brand Yarns has the bear pattern free on their site; just search for "tiny teddy." The dress pattern is original and can be found here.
