      Hi, I'm struggling to follow instructions for the bunny charts. What stitch are the bunnies in? I started this and it doesn't look right so I unpicked it. Any help would be much appreciated.

        Hi Catherine - the bunnies are in garter stitch - so you will knit the bunny pattern following the chart, Claire

        @Claire W: thank you, so only do purl stitch on the knit lines? I'm not doing knit on the purl lines, am I going wrong?

        @Catherine P: Hello - the bunny design is achieved by purling the bunny stitches on the right side - the background stitches are knit. The wrong side of the whole panel, including the bunny design, is purled. Hope this is helpful, Claire

      I’ve just finished this blanket in cream yarn. Sadly I don’t understand the instructions for the embroider tails. Any advise please.

        Hello, I did follow the instructions. It is like a chain stitch through the purl bumps on the tail. You could also look at doing duplicate stitch on garter stitch and look for a video tutorial online showing this.

      Hi I'm also knitting this ... when you were half way through the bunnies did the knit stitch shaping in the middle of the purl rows stand out quite a lot? Mine currently looks like I've gone wrong but I'm hoping as the bunny is finished it will all come together! Thanks for your help!

        Hi Clare, I did knit it exactly to the pattern and the design was clear once I'd finished it, Claire

      Gorgeous Claire! I'm in the process of doing the exact blanket, not long now till finish, was wondering how you blocked yours? Am new to blocking and understand there's different ways for different yarns. I am using the yarn stated in the pattern. I am also struggling a little with the embroidery on the tails but haven't given up on this yet. You've done a great job!

        Hi Barbara, I blocked mine using Eucalan and blocking pins on a blocking mat which gave a flat finish. I embroidered the tails on afterwards. I adapted the technique shown. Let me know if you need any more advise, Claire

      Hi Claire, did you use the standard needles or the circular needles? Many thanks
