Hi everyone! This is the written pattern for my youtube tutorial  (please refer to it for all the demonstrations). I've included timestamps from the video so you can refer to video demonstrations if you're confused about a specific part.

heart cushion written pattern (continuation of my youtube tutorial!)

Hi everyone! Here's the written pattern for rounds 1-12 of my heart cushion cover. You can find the demonstration/steps for rounds 1-5 and  how to read this pattern and make the stitches in my youtube tutorial . Abbreviations: ch - chain / sc - single crochet / hdc - half double crochet / dc - double crochet / ss - slip stitch Please note that  the steps on ending each round and attaching a new color to your work  (ss + ch 1)  are explained with demonstrations in my youtube tutorial.

how to crochet a cute bunny | free pattern + video tutorial

Image
Hi everyone! This is the written pattern for my YouTube tutorial . Please refer to the video for demonstrations if you're confused. This is a very repetitive pattern, so follow the same steps shown to crochet all the rounds. Once you're done, you can add some ribbons & bows to make your bunny look even cuter - happy crocheting! Note:  all the pieces are worked in continuous rounds, so don't forget to place a stitch marker in the first stitch of every round and track your rounds.  To make crocheting this bunny (and other amigurumi projects!) easier, I recommend downloading the  Row Counter app . I love using the counter to keep track of my rounds and the highlighter to easily find the steps I'm working on. You can import this pattern to the app and start crocheting!
