Hippity Hop, It's a Hare

It’s spring, the season of flowers, blooming trees, and Easter. And Easter bunnies?

This time of year, a lot of us are looking for patterns of Easter eggs, bunnies, and crosses. Last year, for Tatting Corner’s Tat Days, I taught patterns for the Hare and Tortoise of race fame. It’s technically not a bunny, but it might work.

This pattern looks simple, but there is a lot of turning and switching shuttles. It doesn’t take long for the pattern to go quick, like a bunny. I enjoy making them enough that I have a whole fluffle!

I’ve been working on crosses and eggs, too. Hopefully, I’ll have something ready on them soon!
