Hi! Well, today is the day when the 1st clue of Rabbit Bibi Amethyst is released. Thanks to my amazing testers! You can soon see their work and others' too on Bibi's Ravelry page (which I warmly suggest you to see because it has a lot of important information! http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rabbit-bibi-amethyst-cal :) ). Okay, here it comes! :) This animal, Bibi or Amethyst – whichever you want to call her - is big and full of character. She has colorful ears, face and eyes as well as a nice smile. If you prefer, you can also crochet a dress for her and even get more creative with accessories. :) Abbreviations: Sc – single crochet Hdc – half double crochet Dc – double crochet Inc – increase Dec – decrease Skill level: Intermediate, but very suitable for a beginner too. Yarn: I used 3 skeins of DROPS Paris (2 skeins of color 35 (yellow) for the body, legs, head and arms and 1 skein of color 60 (dark old pink/purple for the ears and the yoke of the dress) and 1 skein of DROPS Cotton Light in color 25 (light lilac) for the dress. DROPS Paris is worsted weight and DROPS Cotton Light is DK. Hook: I used a 2.5 mm hook, but I really crocheted loosely with this yarn – usually I would use a hook 1 time smaller than the number suggested on the label. Additional materials: Filling, safety eyes, some felt (optional). Legs and body: Magic ring and 6 sc into it. Round 1: Work 2 sc in every st. (12s sts) Round 2: *1 sc, inc* 6 times. (18 sts) Rounds 3-5: Sc evenly around. (18 sts) Round 6: 2 sc, dec 3 times, 10 sc. (15 sts) Round 7: Sc evenly around. (15 sts) Round 8: 10 sc, inc 3 times, 2 sc. (18 sts) Rounds 9-10: Sc evenly around. (18 sts) Round 11: 2 sc, dec, 2 sc, dec, 4 sc, inc in the next st, 2 sc, inc, 2 sc. (18 sts) Rounds 12-16: 1 sc in every st. (18 sts) Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing. Make another leg this way (don't fasten off this one) and stuff both. Thanks to the increases and decreases, the legs have a leg shape. Round 17: 9 sc, now start crocheting on the other leg (place them next to each other and both facing the same direction, you will be starting at the next unworked stitch available), 17 sc, skip the last sc, now crochet from the first leg, 9 sc. Later you can sew up the hole (from inside) using the yarn from the 1st leg. (35) Round 18: inc, 8 sc, inc, 7 sc, inc, 8 sc, inc, 8 sc. (39 sts) Round 19: inc, 18 sc, inc, 20 sc. (42 sts) Rounds 20-23: sc evenly around. (42 sts) Round 24: *7 sc, dec* 4 times, 6 sc. (38 sts) Rounds 25-27: Sc evenly around. (38 sts) Start stuffing the body and continue to stuff as you go. Round 28: *6 sc, dec* 4 times, 6 sc. (34 sts) Round 29: Sc evenly around. (34 sts) Round 30: 15 sc, dec, 15 sc, dec. (32 sts) Round 31: Sc evenly around. (32 sts) Round 32: 14 sc, dec, 14 sc, dec.
