Today starts the second and final week of the Spring Mini Amigurumi Crochet Along, with day 7. This may not have been the most well planned animal of the series since yesterday was Easter and today's animal is a little bunny. I probably should have shared this one last week, but I didn't think about it when I was putting together my schedule. I just plugged the different animals in on different days without thinking about it too much. 

The little bunny is made like the other animals and similar in size, unless you measure to the top of the ears in which case it would be taller. 

I originally thought I would make a little white bunny, but I felt like a lot of the animals were white, or had a lot of white on them, so I decided on a grayish brown color instead. 

Of course, like any of the animals there are a lot of different colors or color combinations you could use since bunnies come in a whole range of colors. These little animals are so small they are great for using up yarn scraps you have leftover from other projects.
