Maybe you can remember the car seat blanket I made for my friend’s little one a couple of months ago. My friend really really liked the blanket and got many positive comments about it everywhere she went with it. So when her sister fell pregnant she asked me if I could make one for her as well. And of course, it was hard to say no ;). So Brini- The Bunny Car seat Blanket was born. Actually, I made this blanket already a couple of months ago and it was given as a complete baby set together with the rattle and the cuddly toy.

with cream hdc (htr) around your blanket to give it a nice finish.

Like Amelia’s blanket I wanted to personalise this blanket as well. So I crocheted her name and sewed it onto the blanket. Free pattern for the alphabet can be found on Moogly.

Bunny Head

Now you need the Bunny head, otherwise it’ll just be a very nice blanket without a bunny attached to it. This one is easy. Follow my head pattern for Brini-The Bunny Rattle, just don’t fill it with as much stuffing as you would do for a rattle and sew it onto the blanket
