With this adorable bunny sweater, you can choose between a hood or a round neck. Both styles have an Intarsia bunny motif on the front and back, with a fluffy bunny tail knitted in Sirdar Snuggly Bunny on the back. The Sweater and the Bunny Motif are knitted in Sirdar Snuggly Merino and can be made for ages from newborn to two years old.
Sirdar Snuggly Cashmere Merino DK is a super-soft blend of wool, cashmere, and acrylic. Smooth and tightly plied, this yarn is made for next-to-the-skin wear, and it's machine-washable too. Snuggly Bunny is a super soft, fluffy faux fur yarn that makes adorable details on garments or toys.
