As mentioned in one of my earlier posts I was looking for a knitting project other than knitting scarfs all the time. So I browsed the internet and stumbled across Fuzzy Mitten. Barbara Prime's work is fantastic! Her toys are so adorable, I mean just look at some of them: such a cute bunny, lamb and bear! She even designed an alpaca which I'll definitely have to knit because my mum loves alpacas! Her work is perfect and you should definitely check it out.
For my first bunny I used a mixture of her bunny and lamb pattern. I want to change some things for the next bunny (make the body a bit smaller, maybe make the arms a bit shorter etc.), though.
The bunny's dress was designed by my mum. She got herself inspired by Barbara Prime's and some other knitting sites and just came up with something. The upper half of the dress is crocheted because my mum says it's an easier way to form the dress around the bunny. She has lots of toy-clothes-knitting-experience because she had to dress up all of my brother's and my toys when we were little. ;-)
I also love the Fuzzy Mitten bat, it's so fitting for autumn:
