Easter is just a few weeks away but there is still plenty of time to crochet this Bunny C2C Blanket! It really only takes a few days! It also makes a perfect gift for those Spring Babies. The fun part about this blanket is that I used Bernat Pipsqueak yarn to make the ears incredibly fuzzy and soft! Typically Pipsqueak yarn can be difficult to work with because its a fur yarn which makes the stitches hard to see… but don’t fear! Corner-to-corner crochet is the a great match for this yarn! Since you are essentially crocheting over the chain from the previous rows square, there is no exact stitch that needs to be found. This yarn is such a simple element to add that gives the blanket a whole new look and feel! The rest of the blanket is made with my go-to worsted weight yarn: Bernat Super Value. Stock up on both yarns and shop all the color combos at Yarnspirations.com!
Materials:
– Bernat Super Value Yarn in Lilac (2 skeins), Natural (1 skein), Soft Gray (only small ball need) and Black (only two long strands needed for eyes)
– Bernat Pipsqueak Yarn in color Tickle Me Pink (2 skeins) NOTE: I ALMOST finished the second ear with just one skein – I had six more squares to go. I do believe you could make the bunny with only one skein by crocheting the ears tighter, using a HDC stitch instead of the DC, or going down a hook size.
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle
– Bunny Pixel Graph
I used the Corner-to-Corner (C2C) method to crochet the graph. If you aren’t familiar with the C2C technique, I have a video class available HERE for purchase that teaches you this technique! This blanket is square so you don’t have to worry about increasing on one side and decrease on the other (like you would need to do in a rectangle blanket). So the square shape makes it less confusing if you are a newbie to corner-to-corner crochet. The Crochet Crowd also has a very helpful video tutorial for free that shows you the basic technique of corner-to-corner crochet. Check that out HERE.
Finished blanket size is 32 x 32 inches (including the small border)

The border:
With purple, SC between the C2C square, chain 2, SC between next square, repeat all the way around edge making a SC + chain 2 + SC in each of the four corners.
Switch to white yarn
Slip stitch to join in first chain 2 space, make 4 DC in next, slip stitch to next chain 2 space, repeat around. Join to first slip stitch, fasten off and weave in ends.
Need help figuring out how to weave in your ends? I have a tutorial for that!

PS – there really isn’t that many loose ends in this project! It probably took me a total of 30 minutes to weave in my ends.

OMG Sarha, This is too darn cute!
Are you going to post the pattern like you did for the reindeer? Row by row? That would be fantastic!
Is there a row by row pattern for this beautiful bunny available??
This looks quite cute, amazing.
After row 39 you will start to decrease?? is that correct
Hello:
Did you ever get an answer about row 40?
If buying in uk, what size ball of yarn would I need please, what is a skein equivalent to?

Carol,
In the UK you would need Aran weight for this pattern.

Hello: I’m working on the c2c bunny blanket and i’m Stuck on row 29. Could you please tell me what the last color is.
Green
Adorable. Thank you for another great blanket pattern.
Loved this pattern needed to make it a little bigger my twin grandchildren are about 19 months old, also put a different border on it.
Can’t figure out how to add a picture, but now I have to start the second one.
Can you share with me how did you make it bigger? Enlarged the pattern or just the border?
That looks very cute 🙂
I just sat down and did the row by row for myself and then I came on here to share your site with someone and there it was, done by Beth, Yeah Beth!!!!!! I should have waited. lol
Love this pattern, I started and I have two questions? I am following the written instructions, and need to know about row 29. What is the ending color? V=Violet.
Row 40 I keep ending with 9 (instead of V8). I took it a loose twice. Help!
Thanks
Row 40 was my nemesis. I ripped out 5 times. Even started the whole proect over again twice. I don’t give up easily. Never was ale to figure it out. What was I doing wrong?!!! after 20 ears of crochheting and knitting experience, this certainly was a humbling episode in my life. Had my heart set on bunnies, so I made the bunny hat/diaper cover set. That was a breeze. I have successfully done your owl hats, snowman hats, and frog hats, but this really stymied me. 🙁
Decrease. See my comments.
Hello, I just finished this and wanted you to know I had fun doing it. There are a few corrections on the the written pattern.
•Row 40 is when you start to decrease.
•Row 54 is not P54 it’s P4
Thanks again!
Also, Row 20 is V12 (Violet)or G12 (Green)
De crease? How do you do that?
Hi Linda
If I take account of your changes to the two rows, should it be ok? I’m a bit wary because of others’ problems with the pattern although I do know how to C2C
Thanks
Joanna
I am an experienced crocheter of many years and usually undaunted by even the advanced patterns. The C2C stitch is easy to work but the project itself is not really for a beginner. I liked the idea of writing out the chart row by row which is at the end of the instructions. I found the Crochet Crowd technique very frustrating over such a large piece. I don’t use the same yarn hold as in the Crochet Crowd Video so the “pinch” in the chain 6 didn’t really work. I just counted the stitches in the chain as usual. I had trouble making the two stitches on either side of the bunny’s mouth look attached to the other stitches. My biggest problem was the violet stitches on the bottom row 28 and 29. I ripped it out and started over several times. It just didn’t work somehow. I finally gave up on row 30 after encountering so many issues that made this no fun to do . If I were to do it over I would just join and weave in ends as in any color changing pattern. I was really looking forward to making this for my newest family member born last month. Maybe I’ll get up the energy to make it for another baby sometime in the future. Very disappointed.
Hi I am having trouble I have done the bunny over and when I get to row 40 it does match pls help

If you are interested to play the new game then this is the best option that http://solitairetimes.com when you started to play the spider game it will be unique game that you can enjoyed a lot.
I worked on this all afternoon. Did great UNTIL row 40. I am so disappointed. Wanted to give to a fundraiser. PLEASE what is wrong we can’t get past row 40???
I was wondering now if it is beginning of decrease row…if so, why was that not entered in instructions?
Written instructions for bunny blanket has 2 mistakes one is on row 54, I can’t remember the other row.
Is the count messed up on the bunny…I got to row 54 and had to frog back to 49 and still not sure if I am back far enough..trying to make it for my granddaughter…
Having read this I believed it was extremely enlightening. I appreciate you finding the time and effort to put this short article together.
I once again find myself personally spending a lot of time both reading and commenting. But so what, it was still worth it!

Hey, i am quite stuck on row 36, do i need to decrease the last square on row 35?
c2c method is great, i like it:imported watches first copy
Cute project and thank the heavens for comments! If it hadn’t been for someone saying to start decreasing at row 40, I’d still be ripping stitches out trying to make this work.
Thank goodness for that “row 40 decrease” comment. I have “frogged” this blanket so many times! Not giving up, though! Too cute!
Thank you for this pattern. This is my first time trying C2C crochet and I love the results so far. I tend to crochet tight so I don’t know if that’s affecting the size. The pattern says finished size including border is 32 x 32 inches but I’m past the half way point and my blanket is closer to 24 x 24 without the border. I didn’t use the same brand of yarn but a different yarn with the same thickness (medium weight – 4) and H hook. My blanket lays flat and there’s no buckling so I’m not sure why there’s such a size difference. Anyone else had this problem?
Hi Penny, I am a newbe at C2C, when the written instructions say Row 27 UP and Row 28 DOWN, what does the UP and DOWN mean, thank you.

Help!!!!
Do you start to decrease at row 40? I’m stuck…. and I’m left handed
Hi, thank you, Sarah, for sharing this free pattern. It’s adorable.
I was sorry this didn’t have any instructions except for the border, but it was easy once I knew that each block was ch3-3dc.
On the row-by-row color chart, rows 30 and rows 40, 41, 43 and 45 are missing the final stitches in each row; rows 42 and 44 are missing the final three colors. But if you look at the chart, and count it out for each row, it’s readily apparent what you need to do.
For the pipsqueak, instead of doing ch3-3 dc, I did ch3-2dc, and had plenty of yarn. The ears were still very full and fluffy. No need to get two skeins. I had plenty left over.
Rather than a pattern, this is a chart, with instructions for only the border. (I did an sc border because I thought the fancier border detracted from the design.) Still, the chart alone is the thing. And … it’s FREE. Very generous.
I would say “a few days” might be optimistic for most people — it took me almost three weeks, and I’ve been crocheting for 31 years. I spent only about an hour a day, but still, that’s a good chunk of time and more than many busy people have. So give yourself time and you’ll enjoy it. It does go quickly.
I found the post to be exceptionally informative, and I greatly appreciate the shared insights.
