Bunny Baby Set: Free Preemie Bunny hat Pattern

The Crochet bunny hat pattern, alongside other bunny-teamed patterns, would make a beautiful set for a newborn.

I often want to be a baby again; is this even possible? I know it sounds hilarious, but I love all the pretty baby clothing in the store. Since I can’t be a baby, I decided to make some cute baby clothing, and my first stop was the Bunny Baby Set.

I have decided to make the bunny hat pattern-free so you can all feel how cute these patterns work! Don’t you just love the cute bunny ears?

Why Bunny Crochet Baby Set?

My 4-year-old decided we would 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:

1. Bunny Sleeping bag
2. Bunny Romper
3. Bunny Shorts with suspenders
4. Bunny Beanie
5. and Bunny Applique.
