Materials
needed
·
4
double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. I
recommend using needles a size or two smaller than the yarn calls for, to
produce a firm fabric. İ used Needles size US 2½ (3mm).
White, pink
and green colored yarns for rabbit. I used Gazzal Baby Cotton XL / 50% cotton, 50% akrylic; 50 gr
– 105 mt./
