Handmade Gift #2: Knuffle Bunny

This past summer, we discovered Mo Willems books. We love the Piggie and Elephant series, Leonardo, and especially Knuffle Bunny. So when I saw this pattern on SYTYC, I bookmarked it, knowing that my kids would love this. Especially Morgan. She loves Knuffle bunny, and when she saw the pattern on the computer, she said that is what she wants for Christmas. Her wish is my command. She will be getting this along with a copy of the book.


I actually made two of these. One was a teacher gift for Claire's first grade teacher, because she read these books to her class at the beginning of the year, and it's always fun to have a plushy of the character in the book. Claire said her teacher and her class really love it. The pattern is fairly straight forward, though I made it, on the recommendation of one of the readers, 1/2" bigger on all the green flannel pieces.


This one is for Morgan. She is going to love it, I can hardly stand the wait until Christmas.

I'll have to check out those books (I've never heard of them). Your creation looks just like the character though. Very well done.

Jake LOVED Knuffle Bunny when he was younger. Such a cute story.

What a great idea to make a plushy of it! I must put in my request for you to please, please, PLEASE get Morgan's reaction on Christmas morning on video. Because if it's anything like her squeal over the baby doll a couple of years ago, then it will be priceless! (also can you please put in a request for Claire to say, "Oh, I did not...I did not always want this" again. Because that is Christmas video gold. Gold, I tell you!
