Bunnies for Easter

A few years ago, my Aunt Kathleen sent a bunch of her craft magazines and papers to me by way of my mom. Included in those things was a handwritten pattern for a bunny pin.

I made a couple of changes: crocheting the tail, instead of adding a pompom, lengthening the ears and making them different lengths. Anyway, I have no idea of the patterns origins, but here is my version if you want to make one yourself.

By the way, the two bunnies on the right are wrong side up, just because I thought the picture looked better that way rather than having them all face the same way.
It takes about 3 yards of worsted weight yarn to make one. With lighter weight yarn you can make one with shorter lengths.
