Step by step Instructions

Preparation:

Granny Squares: Prepare three pieces of granny squares. (You can find the granny square pattern in a previous video mentioned in the video description).

Joining Granny Squares:
2. First Join: Take two granny squares and join one side edge together:

Start by inserting your hook into the corner of both squares and make a knot to secure them.
Insert the hook from the top and pull through to make a slip stitch on the second square.
Return to the first square, insert the hook into the next stitch, and make a slip stitch.
Continue this process along the corresponding stitches on both squares until the entire side edge is joined.

Second Join: Join the next side together to convert the two squares into a cone shape.
Adding the Third Square:
- Grab the third granny square and attach it to the already combined two squares:
- Insert the hook into the corner of the third piece; make a slip stitch.
- Join one side edge of the third square to the first granny square with slip stitches.
- Continue this method for the other side of the third granny square to form the bunny shape.

Forming the Bunny:
5. Stuffing: Stuff the inside with polyester fiber until fully packed.

Forming the Ears:
- Fold the remaining two sides in half.
- Join the edges together using slip stitches towards the middle to form the ears.
- Once you reach the end, make a chain to secure the yarn, then cut and hide the leftover tail within the stitches.

Adding Features:
- Place and secure eye beads where directed in the video, using a safety plug if available.
- Use the pink yarn to sew a nose between the eyes.
Final Touches:
- Use yarn to sew the two ears closer if needed to enhance the shape.
- Create a pom pom for the tail:
  - Wrap yarn around your hand or use a pom pom maker until you achieve the desired thickness.
  - Secure tightly with a knot at the center, and cut the edges with scissors.
  - Trim uneven parts to shape the pom pom, then sew it onto the bunny’s back.
