I made a thing that’s completely unnecessary that you also can’t live without.
Bunny and bear boot cuffs!
Technically the appliqué part can be added onto anything! It’s made in one go, no separate pieces! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
#teamNoSew
This uses such a small amount of yarn that it makes it the perfect scrap buster project!
Great for you market sellers!

FINISHED SIZE:
MATERIALS:
1. Medium weight size 4 yarn in any colors. I used Hobby Lobby brand “I Love This Yarn” in these colors:
a. Light Sage (Grass)
b. White (Bunny)
c. Toasted Almond (Bear)
d. Pink (Bunny nose)
e. Black (Bear nose & paws)
2. 5mm crochet hook: (adjust hook size as needed according to gauge).
3. Stitch marker: I like these Hobby Lobby ones.
4. Bent Yarn needle.
5. Four 6mm safety eyes (unless you plan to sew them on).
6. Fabric glue (Optional).
7. Cat Brush (for bunny tail option.)
NOTES:
1. Do not count the beginning chain of each row.
2. The finished boot cuff is about 6 inches (15.24 cm) wide, and 7 inches (17.78 cm) tall to the tip of the bunny ears. The Bunny alone is about 2 x 2 inches (5.08 cm). This will fit a 13.5-15 inch calf. (The photo shows it on a 15-inch calf.)
3. If you need to size up or down, you will need to add or subtract 4 rows at a time to be able to have enough stitches for the shells to line up. Every additional (or subtracted) 4 rows will add (or subtract) 1.375 inches to the width of the boot-cuff. It should be about 1-1.5 inches smaller than the circumference of the calf where the boot cuff will sit.
4. Check your gauge first to get the right sizing. The rib stitches will stretch as well. Adjust your hook if necessary.
5. Do the foundation chain for the beginning instead of a regular chain. This has more stretch to it, unlike a regular ch that tends to be tighter than the other rows. Here is a video showing how:
STITCHES: (U.S. Terms)
st(s): stitch(es)
.
sk: skip
.
sc: single crochet.
hdc: half double crochet
.
ch: chain.
sl st: slip stitch.
dc: double crochet
.
tr: triple crochet.
flo: front loop only.
blo: back loop only. Here’s a video:
GAUGE:
Do a foundation ch of 14 sts. Ch 1.
1 sc into each st across. Ch 1. (x 14).
14 sc x 14 rows = 4” (10 cm) square.
NOTE: If you watch this over on my youtube channel, there are time links in the description to bring you to each section of this so you can more easily pick up where you left off.
Watch your fingers if you’ve never done this! Here is a video showing brushed yarn:
Tie the tail onto the Bunny’s butt. Cut it down to shape it more if you need to.
ALL DONE!
