Looking for an egg-citing sweater? Bunny Hop has you covered.

Bunny hop is bottom up, seamed sweater with a drop shoulder and intarsia motif. Cute bunny ears are knitted separately and sewn on, along with the eyes, nose and bow tie. What a show stopper.

Designed to fit ages 2-11 years and worked in DK weight yarn. The sample is knitted using Stylecraft Life changes, but this would work well in solid shades and other yarns with a gradual shift in colour.

This pattern would make an egg-cellent (you know I cannot resist a pun) first intarsia pattern, as the panel is simple and there are only two colour yarns in use.
