When crocheting Amirugurumi I prefer the Yarn UNDER at the crochet method.

What Size is the Crochet PEEP Bunny and Can you make it smaller or Larger
The finished peep bunnys made using this pattern measured approximately 11 inches Using Marriners Get Cosy (Not available to Buy now) and a 6 mm crochet hook
