Bunny Blanket Buddy: The Linus Version




I finally finished my Bunny Buddy. Originally, I used two strands of worsted weight yarn, but the bunny was too stiff, and I didn't like how small it was. I envisioned a "blanket buddy" should be like the one the Peanuts character, Linus, carried around with him. So, I revised the pattern to make it big enough for a small infant or toddler. I also used a single strand of worsted weight yarn so that the blanket would be softer and more cuddly, and I enlarged the ears and arms. I'd like to make a larger blanket version. This was a cool pattern, and I learned a lot.
