Bunny Baby Set: Free Preemie Bunny hat Pattern
Crochet bunny hat pattern along side with other bunny teamed patterns would make a beautiful set for a new born.
Most times, I want to be a baby again, is this even possible? I know it sounds hilarious but I love all the pretty baby clothing I come across in the store. Since I can’t be a baby, I decided to make some cute baby clothing and my first stop is the Bunny Baby Set.
I have decided to make the bunny hat pattern-free so you can all have a feel of how cute these patterns work up! Don’t you just love the cute bunny ears?
Why Bunny Crochet Baby Set?
My 4 year old decided we go with a Bunny theme since we are expecting another baby. I kind of love the idea too.
Currently, I have the following Bunny crochet pattern in the baby set:
- Bunny Sleeping bag
- Bunny Romper
- Bunny Shorts with suspenders
- Bunny Beanie
- and Bunny Applique.
