How to Crochet Floppy Bunny Ears for a Stuffed Animal

Pass on the skill of crocheting to those you love.

Crochet is the process of using a single hook to weave a stranded fabric, often some type of yarn or wool. Many people find learning to crochet a useful steppingstone to knitting, which requires the use of two or more needles. Stuffed animals and toys are ideal for those looking for a quick project to crochet. Most crochet animal patterns do not require a full skein of yarn, making them ideal projects for using up your leftover odds and ends of yarn.
