  Gather your awesome materials!

  Step 2

  Cast on 16 stitches.

  Tip: keep the tension fairly tight to avoid ending up with a baggy bunny!

  Step 5

  Cast off and leave a 10cm tail.

  Step 6

  Using a darning needle thread a new piece of wool through the centre of your square…

• 

  Step 7

  ...weaving through alternate stitches until you get to the other side.

• 

  Step 8

  Pull it through, then thread it diagonally upwards to the middle point at the top.

• 

  Step 9

  Now thread it diagonally downwards, back to where you started.

• 

  Step 10

  Pop some cotton balls in the middle of your triangle…

• Step 11

  …and pull the thread tight so it acts like a drawstring, forming your bunny head and ears.

• 

  Step 12

  Thread one end of your drawstring through to the other side, pull tight and knot at the base of the ears. Snip the ends off.

• 

  Step 13

  Thread the leftover 10cm tail all the way through the edge of the base…

• 

  Step 14

  ...then pull tight and tie off. Snip the end of the thread off and admire your handiwork!

• 

  Step 15

  Make half a pom pom then trim it until you’re happy with the size and shape.

• 

  Step 16

  …and gift your bunny with a cute fluffy tail!

• 

  Step 17

  Tear up some cotton balls and line the inside of your bunny, then pop your chocolate egg inside.

• 

  Step 18

  Rejoice at your egg-cellent bunny-making skills! If you like you can also add some finishing touches with whatever you have to hand while you eat the rest of the chocolate eggs!
