POMPOM BUNNY

This adorable rabbit makes the perfect gift if 1 you’ve reached chocolate overload. Cut two cardboard discs each for the head and the body pompoms. The discs for the head are 36mm in diameter, with a centre hole of 16mm. The discs for the body are 46mm in 2 diameter and the centre hole is 20mm. To make the body pompom, place the two 46mm cardboard discs on top of each other. Thread a tapestry needle with a length of knitting yarn and start wrapping the two discs with the yarn. Once the yarn is used up, start a new length, placing the ends in line with the 3 outer edge of the discs.

With a length of yarn, tie a secure knot 6 between the two discs. Carefully cut through the cardboard discs 7 and remove them. Trim the yarn ends to shape the pompom 8 into a ball. Make the head pompom the same way as the body, using the two smaller cardboard discs. Use the yarn ties of each pompom to tie the head and body together. Cut off the 9Cut excess yarn.
