Free Knitting Pattern – Roly-Poly Easter Bunny

Welcome to our review of the Roly-Poly Bunny knitting pattern, available free on the Knit Picks website!

This charming and delightful toy is the perfect project for experienced knitters looking to expand their skills and try their hand at making toys. The design is versatile and can be easily customized to suit any occasion, whether it be a special holiday or as a gift for a loved one. The bunny can be made in any color of yarn you prefer and even added ribbon to give it a personalized touch.

The head and body of the bunny are worked seamlessly in the round from the top down, which makes it easy to knit and allows for a smooth finish. The paws are worked seamlessly in the round, like an afterthought thumb or heel, making them easy to knit and attach to the body.

The ears are worked flat in double knitting and then sewn to the head, giving them a 3D effect. The face is embroidered which makes it easy to personalize the bunny to your liking. The tail is a pom-pom which adds a fun and playful touch to the design.

To achieve its round shape, the toy is knit at a tight gauge and should be stuffed firmly. The increases and decreases are staggered throughout the pattern to minimize the appearance of obvious shaping lines, giving the bunny a more natural shape.

The pattern includes clear and easy-to-follow instructions, making it perfect for knitters of all levels. With this pattern, you will be able to create your own cute and cuddly toy that you or your loved ones will cherish for years to come.

There’s just something about stripey socks that makes me smile. It’s not really any more difficult to knit socks with stripes as it is to work in a single color, but for me, the payoff is pretty big in terms of added cuteness. Let’s take a peek at some fun striped socks you can knit.

I have to start with the Rainbow Panda Socks from Sheila Toy Stromberg because I was one of her test knitters and these socks are delightful. Not only do they have stripes on the toe and the leg above the ankle, they also include duplicate stitch panda faces on the backs of the legs and ears you knit into the bind off at the top. They are so cute and fun to make and sized for everyone from infants to adult XL, so you’ve got no excuse not to knit them for everyone you know. Get the pattern on Ravelry.

Those socks are totally ’80s in their coloring, but if you want to step back to the ’70s, try Jeff’s Groovy Socks by Anne Vally. These athletic style socks have a ribbed body and stripes of two contrasting colors on the leg and you can pick one (or both) of the contrasting colors to use for your heels and toes. These come in three sizes for different widths, and you can find the pattern on Ravelry.

If you’d rather have allover stripes, check out the Easy Striped Socks pattern from Knitgrammer on Etsy. These sweet socks can be worked toe up or top down using whatever needle configuration you prefer. Either way you can make a custom fit sock, but toe up makes it a lot easier to fit your foot (without swatching!).

Add a little more color while maintaining allover stripes with the Hunky Guy sock from Long Beach Designs, which adds a contrasting color for the cuff, heel and toe. These are worked in worsted weight yarn for great hiking socks, and despite the name the pattern says it’s sized for adults and teens.

Summer Lee’s sock patterns are synonymous with happy to me, and her Classic Ribbed Socks are a great example of that. They use three colors and I love the bold red and white, which makes them look perfect for spring. And they come in five sizes.

If you want to add even more colors to your socks (or use a colorful self-striping yarn) try the Collection of Columns socks from Nancy Wheeler (on Ravelry). This one is a pretty standard sock with six different charts for “columns” of stitch patterns you can add to make the knitting a bit more fun. There are mock cables, textured stitches and eyelet options, and the sock pattern comes in three sizes.

And we can’t talk about stripes without adding some rainbow stripes, so be sure to check out the Happy Friends Socks, a free pattern on Ravelry from Monika Soltysik. These fun socks use crocodile stitch worked flat for the cuff, which is then joined in the round to knit the body of the sock with two-round stripes. Use any leftover yarns if you don’t have rainbow colors handy.
