I went for blue on red as they're my favourite colours. I realised after I'd finished that I'd made a mistake. One of the ears is supposed to flop forward, but I'd taken the pattern upstairs to cut out the bunny and fuse him to the background fabric without reading the instructions. That'll teach me!
I LOVE the way Kirsty adds crochet to her hoops so I followed her pattern. I made my foundation stitches too small which meant I couldn't get the right size hook through and couldn't get two stitches in each as the pattern required. As I'd already laced the bunny into the hoop at this point, it was too late to pick out the stitches and start again. So I persevered.
See how the edge sticks straight up rather than out?
So I blocked it. I pinned each scallop outwards and soaked it with water (a bit too much water!) and they lay correctly.
It's sitting on my table waiting to be added to my gallery, but each day the scallops lift up a little more!

Another cute hoop!
The crochet edging is a nice touch, it sounds difficult but looks good :)
Oh how cute is that scalloped edge. I must put that book on my Christmas list for hubby (or the kids)!
Very pretty, the border adds a lovely dimension to the whole project
Adorbs!!!!! If I had room on my walls I would try this.
Great little creation, love the bunny and fabric. Does it matter that the edges stick up? It looks cute to me.
Cheers, Anita.
