Bear And Bunny Easter Knitting Pattern

March 4, 2023 by Shellie Wilson

The BEAR & BUNNY pattern by Sirdar is an adorable set of teddy bear and bunny toys, knitted in Snuggly Snowflake Chunky yarn, that are perfect bedtime companions for any little one. The yarn used in this pattern gives the toys a super-soft “fur” like texture and friendly embroidered faces that children will love. The bear and bunny also come with their own cute cardigans, knitted in Snuggly DK yarn, adding an extra touch of charm.

This pattern is recommended for knitters with an intermediate level of experience, as it involves techniques such as embroidery and knit and purl stitches. The finished toys are the perfect size for snuggling, making them a treasure that any child will love to have.

This Bunny pattern is perfect to knit as a non-candy gift for Easter. Instead of giving chocolate to children, you can give them a handmade toy that they can treasure for years to come. This pattern is a great way to show your loved ones that you care, while also providing them with a unique and special gift that they will love.

Overall, the BEAR & BUNNY pattern is a fun and creative way to make a special gift for the little ones in your life. The pattern is easy to follow, and the finished product is sure to be treasured for years to come.

Pet Beds to Knit

I have two cats, and I have always wanted to make them some kind of cat bed. But I also feel like they would completely ignore it, so I would be better off spending my knitting time on someone who I know will appreciate it (me). If you want to give it a try, though, here are some cute pet beds to knit for cats, small dogs, and maybe even some bigger dogs. 

My favorite of the ones I came across in writing this post is the Capiti knit cave that looks like a cat. This one is from Ursule Knits, and from the pattern description it sounds like it is lightly felted by hand to make it stand up, so you need to use wool to make it. It calls for DK weight but I’m sure worsted would work, too. 

The Maya Cat Cave is another cute cave-like project. Designed by Lavi V and using super bulky yarn, it’s like a purpose-made sack for your kitty to hang out in. It uses a metal ring (like you might use to make a dreamcatcher) to make the opening sturdy. You can find this one on Ravelry.

If you don’t want to be quite as literal as a cave, this pet bed nest from Monique Rae is another good choice. This one is flat on the bottom with short sides. It uses two strands of worsted weight yarn held together and comes in six sizes for a range of cats and dogs to be cozy in.

This circular cat bed knitting pattern from Ginger Purl is cute and easy to knit if you’re familiar with knitting flat circle. This one is striped, which is a great reminder that cats don’t care what color their bed is, so you might as well use leftover yarn on it. 

I am a little skeptical that this pet bed that’s made with roving and arm knitting will look as good once an animal has seen it, but it is a cute and quick project (and you could just use it as a basket that kitty is allowed to get in rather than a dedicated space). The pattern is from Wools by Nicky and includes a video tutorial if you’re new to arm knitting.

If you’d rather knit a blanket for the dog or cat in your life, check out the Ziggy Zag Pet Blanket by Paws and Purls Knits. This pretty reversible blanket comes in five sizes for various pets, and if you make it in washable yarn it’s the perfect thing for your furry friend to cuddle with. 

Or if you have a pet who will submit to a hood, I love this hooded pet blanket from Yarnspirations. Using Bernat Blanket yarn, it’s super cozy (and bright!) and pretty easy to knit as it’s all worked in one piece. The pattern only has one size but it’s just a rectangle with a hood so you could probably adjust it pretty easily for the size of your pet.
