Easter is a great time to bring a touch of cuteness to your crochet, with fluffy chicks, woolly lambs and of course, adorable bunnies! Worked in the round, this crochet bunny brooch by Becky Garratt uses easy-peasy double crochet stitches, with a touch of simple embroidery for her face. The pink colour is so pretty, but you could use all kinds of pastel shades to make a family of sleepy crochet bunny brooches!
