Hey there, crochet friends! I’m so excited to re-introduce you to Lady Peaches the Rabbit – sweet as a springtime peach, with just the right touch of sass! She’s full of personality and ready to hop into your Easter celebrations. Whether she’s perched proudly among pastel blooms or nestled in for cuddles after an egg hunt, Lady Peaches brings playful warmth, a dash of mischief, and all the cheerful vibes of the season wherever she goes.

Lady Peaches the Rabbit was originally featured in Crochet Now magazine, issue 108, back in May 2024. The idea came to me while thinking about how sweet and summery peaches are – and how perfectly that sweetness could pair with the charm of a little bunny.

I also feel I was channelling a bit of my love for Bridgerton – if you’ve ever seen Penelope Featherington, you’ll know the peachy tones that also inspired Lady Peaches’ vibe. From her soft, huggable form to her playful expression, she’s the perfect mix of whimsy and elegance.

Lady Peaches was created with Scheepjes Stonewashed in four different shades ( 1 ball Moon Stone 801, 1 ball Morganite 834, 1 ball Rose Quartz 820 and 1 ball Peridot 827) using a 3.5mm hook (US E). hook.

The only other things you will need for this project are:

A cute knitted bunny figure with a peach body, green collar, and a bright orange bow, sitting among green ivy leaves.

Pattern Re-Release | Dutch Bunnies

Posted in Crochet, Designing, Independent Design, Pattern Release by Keep Calm and Crochet On UK

Hi lovelies, today I’m re-introducing the charming crochet Dutch Bunny Pattern; a delightful project that brings the endearing allure of a fluffy bunny to life with carefully crafted crochet stitches. These adorable bunnies are not only a joy to crochet but would also make a delightful addition to any home or nursery. With their whimsical charm and timeless appeal – the Dutch Bunnies pattern are sure to capture the hearts of crocheters and bunny lovers alike.

As you may know, with the closure of Deramores, I’m slowly working my way through the old patterns I had with them to transfer them over to MY pattern shops, I’m sorry it’s taking awhile; I’m trying to get through them as and when I’ve got a bit of free time.

From their floppy ears to their powder puff tails, each bunny exudes personality and charm which could add a seasonal touch to your Easter decorations. They are very easy to personalise by picking yarn colours to match your favourite pets.

I used a DK weight yarn (light worsted), and I’m suggesting Paintbox Simply DK (instead of the original Deramores Studio DK). Paintbox Simply DK is a 100% premium acrylic yarn that comes in 100g (276m) and is available in a wide variety of colours.

I used a 3mm hook (closest US size D/3) and the colours I’ve suggested are 1 ball of Paper White (100), Soft Fudge (109), Coffee Bean (110) and a bit of Bubblegum Pink (150) for the nos., Other than that you would need two pairs of 12mm black safety eyes, some stitch markers, some toy filler, pins and a yarn needle to sew all the pieces together.

The 5 page pattern comes in either UK or US terms with full descriptions of any stitch abbreviations. It’s classed as an “easy” pattern which I’m hoping anyone new to crochet, along with more experienced crocheters will enjoy.

The pattern is now available from my usual pattern stores for you to make your own version at the links below:

Crochet Pattern Release & Discount Code| Battenburg Bunny

Posted in Amigurumi, Crochet, Holidays, Independent Design, Pattern Release by Keep Calm and Crochet On UK

Hey folks, how you all doing out there? Today has felt like a looooonnnggg day! So in an aim to focus on more positive things, I’ve got a brand new pattern release for you today! Meet the Batternburg Bunny, she’s as sweet as marzipan and some’bunny’ you should really get to know better!

The Battenberg bunny is shown in segments of completion including body, ears head and legs. Also in the picture are balls of yarn, some pins and a crochet hook.

Do you like Battenburg cake? It’s one of my eldest girls favourites, but I think marzipan in a bit like marmite isn’t it, you either love it or loathe it!

This is one of those designs that I had around at least a year ago which popped up into my head again, and then I couldn’t shake it, I really wanted to try and combine some tapestry crochet and amigurumi to make something new!

The Battenberg bunny is a bunny with a white head and arms and legs. The body and the ears are working in tapestry segments like a Battenberg cake.

She’s a fun project to make, and really not too tricky once you get into the flow of things.

I was actually going to call this bunny the Patchwork bunny until one of my friends suggested it looked like a Battenburg cake and then it just had to be the name!

Close up of the features of the Battenberg bunny with a white head and yellow, and pinks ears which are working in tapestry segments like a Battenberg cake.

My bunny is made from Scheepjes Catona that I’d got in my stash (I have a lot of Catona in my stash! You may have noticed it’s one of my favourite yarns to use for amigurumi), but the pattern will work with other yarns.

The 6 page Battenburg Bunny pattern is now on sale over on Ravelry (available in UK and US terms).

The Battenberg bunny is shown next to some slices of battenberg cake on which it's body was based.
