One of my granddaughters turned four in February. A few days before her birthday, we were talking on the phone. I asked her what she would like for her birthday. Without missing a beat, she said, “I want you to knit me a bunny. And it needs a rainbow on its tummy.”
I replied, “Well, honey. That will take some time. Can you wait?”
She assured me she could wait.
After searching many patterns, I settled on crocheting a bunny instead of knitting. I thought it would go faster.
So most of this past month, I’ve been making the pieces of a bunny. It turned out to be quite a big project and much larger than I expected! And it’s face is quite serious looking. I hope she won’t hate it. It doesn’t have a rainbow on its tummy yet. I decided to make a little dress for it that will have the rainbow. I’ll see her next weekend for the bunny reveal. Wish me luck!

Oh my goodness! So sweet! The request. The specificity of the ask. And the final creation! What skills you have! I wish I could whip up a crochet bunny on command! 🌈
Oh my gosh that is the sweetest gift and cutest bunny. And now you can make dresses for all seasons. haha I think your grand daughter will fall in love with this bunny. 🙂
I love how the four year old knows what she wants. I love even more how you are making it happen. This is the perfect, sweet slice to end my week.
That bunny is adorable. I hope she will treasure it always. My 4 year old granddaughter has a mind of her own, too. I crocheted a sweater for her. This story will be good for a slice soon.
You are amazing! Grandmas ar truly the best. My mom is the same with my boys; they know exactly what to ask, and she knows exactly how to fulfill 😆 Happy belated birthday!!
Your bunny is darling! Lucky grandgirl to have a crafty grandma!
How adorable! What a lucky granddaughter!
That is so precious! I am sure your granddaughter will love it. Every stitch is filled with your love for her and she will feel that each time she hugs it. I love it!
This looks incredible! And how clever to make a dress for the bunny with that rainbow.
YOU are the BEST grandma!! How sweet that at 4, your granddaughter knows exactly what to ask from you!! So glad you added photos. Love the tail and the bow the best!! (comments late but better late….)
