velvet yarn Archives - Love to stay home

Velvet Crochet Peep Bunnies are so cute and soft! They make a great gift to put in an Easter basket.

These bunnies are easy to make and take about an hour. It may take longer if you are a beginner, but that being said it is easy enough for a beginner too!

The velvet yarn makes it so cuddly and soft. You can make it in cotton yarn like in the pattern I followed.

I decided to go for velvet yarn as I love the softness of it. I definitely think it is more challenging to work with velvet yarn but the end result is worth it!

What do you need to make these Velvet Peep Crochet Bunnies?

Velvet Yarn – I used velvet yarn from Hobby Lobby which I had in my yarn stash

Crochet hook – size 4.25mm

Scissors

Beads or safety eyes – I used black beads as that’s what I had. However, If you are making these for a young child I suggest using safety eyes.

Stuffing – I used polyfill which I had. Alternatives are cotton, felt scraps, or yarn scraps.

Yarn needle – To weave in the ends.

How do you make these Velvet Peep Crochet Easter Bunnies?

I followed this pattern by Heather Corrine.

Her pattern is very clear and I followed it exactly as she explained. She even has a video to make these, so if you like to watch and learn, she has got you covered!

I have previously followed a mini pumpkin tutorial from Heather and wrote a post about it. You can find it here if you are interested. Her patterns are simple and easy to follow.

Thank you to Heather for the free patterns!

Notes:

As mentioned earlier you can use cotton yarn. Your bunny will not be as soft and cuddly but still as cute!

For the eyes and nose, you can use beads as I did. I sewed them on with a yarn needle and thread. Alternatives are safety eyes or stitching the eyes and nose with black thread.

When stuffing the bunny, I did not stuff the ears, just the body, and face. Do not overstuff.

This Beginner Velvet Crochet Scarf is the easiest and softest scarf you will ever make!

The velvet yarn used for this is so soft and the scarf feels so nice and cozy. If you are new to crochet this is the best project to try as it has just one stitch repeated for about 70 rows.

I say beginner because it really is super easy to make! With all the lovely colors you get, you can easily make a whole bunch of these for every day of the week!

Even if you do not know how to crochet and would like to learn, it is very easy. I urge you to take that step and make crochet a hobby as it really is a great hobby to have! I have mentioned my other beginner crochet posts down below if you would like to learn.

Velvet yarn is not the easiest yarn to work with as it is quite slippery. I am being really honest here, but this project has only one stitch so it goes pretty fast. You can finish this scarf from start to finish maybe in an hour or two.

Velvet yarn – I used Bernat’s Velvet yarn available at Micheals. I am sure you could get it at any craft store and it is also available on Amazon.

What is the Pattern for this Beginner Velvet Crochet Scarf?

This is the pattern I followed from the website crochetandcraftwithme.com:Super easy, Super soft Velvet Scarf

It’s extremely easy, just repeating double crochet for all the rows. For the exact instructions please visit the above-mentioned website. You can make it shorter or longer if you like.

This length is perfect for an adult. In fact, it can be good for kids too but it will go twice around. It is very cozy and warm! Perfect for the upcoming cold weather! In fact my kids loved these scarves and wore them all winter whenever we went out!
