Lavender Lop Ear Bunny Cardigan Free Crochet Pattern

Create a cozy keepsake that your little one will love wearing, and you will love making. This Lavender Lop Ear Bunny Cardigan is designed for comfort and cuteness, featuring a soft lavender hue and adorable bunny ear details that add a touch of whimsy to any outfit.

The pattern provides clear instructions for size 2T, with helpful changes noted in parentheses for 12-18 months, 3T, and 4T. It is crafted with approximately 1.5 to 2 inches of positive ease at the chest, ensuring a roomy and comfortable fit that allows for easy movement.

Getting your gauge right is essential to achieving the perfect fit. Even a small difference can significantly affect the final chest measurement given the number of stitches involved. Please make and measure a 6-inch swatch before you begin to ensure accuracy.

You will need yarn, hooks, and notions as listed in the materials section. For the main body, use a J-10 / 6.0 mm hook with the offset half double crochet stitch pattern to achieve 14 stitches and 12 rows per 4 inches when blocked. For the ribbing, switch to an I-9 / 5.5 mm hook with back-loop-only single crochet to get 16 stitches and 18 rows per 4 inches.

This wearable project is perfect for gifting or keeping for your own bundle of joy. With its gentle lavender shade and practical sizing options, it is a charming addition to any baby's wardrobe.
