- Round 3: SC in each stitch (no increases or decreases). Continue for 12 SC.
- (Tip: Insert a stitch marker at the first stitch of every row for accurate counting.)
- Round 4: Begin color changing to black (optional). Make 1 SC in the next 3 stitches, change to black yarn by completing the final pull-through with the new color.
- Alternate: 3 SC in black and then return to white. Repeat this pattern as per the design in the video.
Step 2: Shape the Body
- Continue to SC around in white, increasing and decreasing according to the pattern:
- Work one round of 6 INC increases (increase every stitch).
- Follow with 3 rounds of SC.
- Reduce and shape the body by doing 3 DEC decreases in one round.
Step 3: Stuff the Body
- Before closing the body, lightly stuff it with polyfill. Ensure it is evenly filled for a smooth shape.
Step 4: Close the Body
- After stuffing, work DEC decreases in each stitch until the opening is small enough to close with a tapestry needle.
- Pass the needle through the remaining stitches, pull tightly, and secure the yarn.
Step 5: Create the Tail
- Attach a small pearl bead to the back to serve as the rabbit's tail. Use the tapestry needle to secure it tightly.

- Attach yarn to the top of the head. CH 5.
- Work back along the chain with SC in 4 stitches.

Tutor's Suggestions:
