Knitted rabbits are often the toy of choice for children, so it makes sense to have a stash of good patterns!

As you'd expect from such a renowned knitting author, Val explains everything so clearly, and her passion for knitting shines through in her adorable patterns.

Spring is fast approaching and what is more ideal than making a beautiful rabbit as a gift. Or why not get the book in time to make this beautiful Valentines Rabbit for a loved one. I can't believe the difference in each of the designs. Who knew that rabbits could look so amazingly different and beautiful. I love the fact there is a rabbit for every occasion.

They are easy to follow with clear pictures to show you how to put the rabbit together. With everything from little Jelly Bunnies to egg cozies you are sure to find a cute rabbit you want to make for someone. Which would you make first? Little Red wants me to make him the garden bunny.
