**Cre­at­ing Flop­py Ears**: Work in the front loops to craft the bun­ny’s ears with an eye-catch­ing touch.

**Bun­ny Head**: Use worsted-weight yarn and a G cro­chet hook to cre­ate the bun­ny’s head. Add safe­ty eyes and a cute lit­tle nose to bring your bun­ny to life.

**Bun­ny Body**: Con­tin­ue with the bun­ny’s body, incor­po­rat­ing stitch mark­ers to keep track of your rounds.
