Hello, dear members of all communities particularly to #needleworkmonday and #ultimatecrochet, following the #amigurumis today I bring you the Easter bunny. The Easter Bunny is a character who according to legend brings baskets full of colorful eggs and candy to children's homes. Some of these eggs are decorated with images of Jesus and Mary in order to represent life and rebirth.

  These eggs are usually hidden by the parents somewhere in the house, for the children to look for them. This game was introduced by President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1878, this search is also done in parks and gardens. The rabbit represents an animal appreciated for its reproductive capacity and the eggs represent the beginning of life, the hope of soil fertility and harvests. This tradition of giving eggs on Easter Sunday is very old and common in the countries of Central Europe, England and the United States.

  Without further ado I show you the steps and images of the Easter Bunny making:
  To make the Easter bunny you will need white, pink and black crochet thread, a knitting needle (1.45mm or 3), wadding and a wool sewing needle.
