Meet Mr. Bunny.........
He insisted to sit at the table. I'm having a dinner party this weekend and I had so much fun setting up the table.
Mr. Bunny was made from some leftover worsted weight yarn.
This is such an easy pattern to knit. You will need the following:
* leftover worsted weight yarn in color of your choice
* size 4 DPN
* size 4 DPN
* stuffing for his body
* large tapestry needle and small scraps of yarn for face
Now for the pattern, it can be found here on Ravelry. It's knit in the round on double pointed needles. You can knit it in any color you wish. Note: I knit his ears in two separate pieces since I wanted a contrasting color for the inside.
I love his little cottontail!
I'm afraid he thinks he's the guest of honor.....
He's getting hungry....so I had better go and fix his dinner.
It's not too late to knit this for someone's Easter basket.
As for dinner, here's a peek at my menu:
Sanbusak is a meat filled pastry. It's popular in the middle east. I used to make the dough but now I buy it ready made. I saute ground beef with onion and season with salt, pepper, allspice and pine nuts.
My recipe for kabob hala can be found here on my blog.
My recipe for vegetarian mousakka can be found here on my blog.
I'm excited to make this recipe for Magic Cake as I just found it this week!
For my fruit salad, I'm using strawberries, banana, mango, oranges, pear, and grapes and I add a little bit of orange blossom water (middle east specialty) along with some coconut.

It's always a joy to hear from you. Feel free to comment if you wish. Until next time, happy crafting everyone!
my best to you,
Pat (& Lilly, too!)
(I just couldn't resist this picture of Lilly sleeping with her head on the pillow!)

Your table looks super, Mr Bunny looks right at home :)
ReplyDeleteI really need to try out that Magic Cake, I love the idea of the custard in the middle, and it's great that it's best made beforehand or even the day before.

Thank you, Jan. Yes, the magic cake is so easy to prepare. You should try it and let me know what you think. Have a great week :)
DeleteI don't suppose you've got room for 1 more at your table have you? It looks stunning and your menu sounds very tempting. What time would you like me to arrive? Lol! I'm sure Oliver will be very pleased with his new friend :)

Hi there, thanks for your kind comment over at my place, and now I've found YOU! Oh my goodness, your knitting and crochet are way out of my league. I'm just starting on the first tentative steps in crochet. I love that bunny ... so cute. Sadly, we don't have any little people in our family yet, but I think I'll save the pattern anyway. So nice to meet you all the way over in sunny California.

Hwhat a lovely knit for this time of year- trusting the food was as delicious as it sounds:)
ReplyDeleteHe's a gorgeous bunny. I can see why he might think he is the guest of honour (who wouldn't want him as guest of honour?)
ReplyDeleteLove your table setting with the easter bunny :) I've never heard of magic cake but it looks like fun to make (and eat!) so I might have to give it a go. Also love the way Lilly is lying with her head on a cushion, bless her x
ReplyDeleteHello Everyone, sorry for not replying to each comment today....time got away from me. I thank each of you for taking the time to visit me and for leaving such kind comments. Hopefully next week I will be on track and can reply to each of you. Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable bunny! So cute. The only thing cuter is the lovely Lilly. She is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Patti
Gosh, what a feast! Your menu sounds wonderful and I'm sure your grandson will just LOVE Mr Bunny - assuming that he wants to leave your table as he's clearly being very well-fed! xx
ReplyDeleteLove the little bunny! Your table looks so inviting! Thanks for sharing with SYC. I'm sure it's not intentional, but I'm not seeing a link back to the party.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
