Making The Crochet Overalls Make 2 pieces >

Notes

When you make the crochet overalls – just measure the waist of your toy before making the overalls tailored to fit the bunny toy.

Each toy may be a little different in the waist than others, depending on how much you stuff it, so it’s good to make all the clothes to fit the toy you are making.

• With a 4mm (US G6) crochet hook and Rico cotton Aran Patina (43) make a slipknot and chain 20.
• Single crochet into every row until the piece measures 2′′.
• Continue to sc into half of the sts (10) to create the first pant leg.
• Continue working on these sts until the pant leg measures 1.5′′.
• Cut yarn and knot.
• Pick up and sc into every st for the other pant leg until it measures 1.5′′.
• Cut yarn and knot.

The Bib >

• Select one pant side piece and at the top of the piece, pick up and sc 10 sts in the middle.
• This is for the bib part of the overalls.
• Sc into every st until the bib piece measures 1′′.

Straps – Make 2 >

• Chain 28 and sc into every stitch.

Making Up >

• Stitch up the side seams and the inner leg seams of the shorts/overalls.
• Attach the straps with an X at each point, so you see the X stitch on the outside.
