    About

    A friend wanted a bunny for Easter for her little boy but wanted to have something for the Coronation too. She loved this Alan Dart bunny and luckily I managed to find a Julia Donaldson book called the cook and the king, so we combined them to make a story sack to meet her needs. A bit of a stretch but great fun. One of the easier, quicker Alan Dart patterns I’m glad to say.

        Thanks Sue he’s made in the same yarn yarn as I made Granddaughter Thea’s Xmas bear and we have to surgically remove hers each morning. It’s sooo soft

      Clever idea Julie. Love the bunny. I have looked at this pattern to make, but thought it would be too complicated, but yours has turned out really well and the King looks very regal!!

        Thanks Valerie. I usually find Alan Dart a bit tricky but this one was straight forward. Go for it
