The Bunny Baby is hopping to town and it sure is sweet! The Bunny Baby is the perfect newborn prop for the babies that are born around Easter time or if you just love adorable little bunnies. Working up the Bunny Baby in a cream color scheme is my favorite but it would be adorable in a chocolate brown too. Every bunny needs long ears and a bushy tail. This set uses basic crochet stitches, so if you know how to crochet you will be able to whip up the Bunny Baby set, but it does involve some sewing, but don't worry it is easy to do!
