Zombie bunny crochet along

I thought I'd have a break from crocheting by doing some crochet ;)

What I mean is I put my amigurumi designs and pattern writing to one side for an afternoon and joined in with Ravelrys freaky amigurumi group crochet along.

This months pattern is a free pattern zombie bunny from a blog called the theory of creativity.

This is the designers photo of the finished zombie bunny.

Its been ages since I've followed a pattern and this wasn't written quite how I write my patterns so at first it took me a while to translate it to my way of making amigurumi. This was fine and I got cracking with some yarn I had left over from my Offalump. There wasn't a hook size suggested but I use my trusty 3.5mm for everything I make so I just used that. I had a bit of a problem with the instructions for the second ear. If you can see in the above photo the felt goes into the ear and the pattern seems to be a way of making a hole in the ear. I must admit I could see what the designer was getting at but I couldn't make it happen by following her instructions so I fudged it and made up my own way. I'm really please with how my Bunny's bullet hole ear turned out.

Quite a few people on the ravelery group had used embroidery thread instead of felt for the detail and I really liked that idea so I shamelessly stole it :)

So drum roll please........ complete with spooky camera effect here is my attempt at the zombie bunny

Its that time of week again so I'm linking in with handmade monday. Why not have a wander over and see all the other lovely craft blogs :)
