I tried mypatterns using a gloriously soft and fluffy yarn. I'm in love with the results. I cannot stop making these :) ## Material First of all, note that I've tried this type of yarn in two different weights/thickness resulting in two different sizes. The white bunny is the largest, followed by the taupe colored one. The yellow bunny was made with regular DK yarn for comparison. ![IMG_20181109_112729-01](https://www.craftybunnybun.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_20181109_112729-01.jpeg?width=400&name=IMG_20181109_112729-01.jpeg) For the extra large bunny (15cm high without the ears ~ 23cm with the ears): - Any chenille yarn in color of choice. For the extra large white bunny I used [Sirdar Smudge 100g/100m](https://www.loveknitting.com/sirdar-smudge?utm_medium=affiliate&a_aid=52c4b1a9). I ended needing two skeins for the bunny as I finished the first just before I got to do the tail.  - A 7mm hook  - A pair of extra large [button eyes](https://amzn.to/2DoogrV) (I used 25mm eyes but could have gotten away with smaller) - [Pink nose](https://amzn.to/2SPRaFG) or just make your own with [needle felting](https://www.craftsy.com/knitting/article/needle-felting-for-beginners/) - [A wool needle](https://amzn.to/2F4D7t2), needles for thinner yarn won't work. - Stuffing, a lot of stuffing. For the slightly smaller fluffy kitty, dog and bunny (~10cm body height): - Any chenille yarn in color of choice. I used [Flutterby Chunky](https://www.loveknitting.com/james-c-brett-flutterby-chunky?utm_medium=affiliate&a_aid=52c4b1a9) (similar to Sirdar Smudge but less chunky). - 5mm hook - Large button eyes (I used 10mm here as I had no bigger size that fit) - Pink nose or just make your own with [needle felting](https://www.craftsy.com/knitting/article/needle-felting-for-beginners/) - [A wool needle](https://amzn.to/2F4D7t2), needles for thinner yarn won't work. - Stuffing, a lot of stuffing. ## Instructions Just followed my patterns instructions as usual using the material above. You can use the material to make any of my [patterns](https://www.craftybunnybun.com/tag/pattern). Here is the links to the [bunny](https://www.craftybunnybun.com/google-doc-cube-bunny-rabbit), [kitty](https://www.craftybunnybun.com/cube-kitty-cat-amigurumi-pattern) and [puppy](https://www.craftybunnybun.com/cube-puppy-dog-amigurumi-pattern) patterns. The yarn was a pleasure to work with. It is however slightly harder to see the stitches than regular yarn so I wouldn't recommend for absolute beginners. That being said the result is very much worth it! So soft and so cuddly. ![IMG_20181109_114837_016](https://www.craftybunnybun.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_20181109_114837_016.jpg?width=400&name=IMG_20181109_114837_016.jpg) I decided to name my big bunny Marshmallow. Here is Marshmallow posing with my little kitty Dusty. Dusty was made using my [Cube Kitty Cat pattern](https://www.craftybunnybun.com/cube-kitty-cat-amigurumi-pattern) but with extra fine yarn and a 1mm hook. Look at  the size difference between the two! ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/xKjR6s1rZVuZp38Boh54HAY1_tiAcOE9VPNYJk3SJ6lJTMIKQivr3OsmJ3DX24E3ruDKLbEiWoAmasIlVUw_bNkteUaFLjzwoNsNmLfbOvbCrBeKIsYYO8wMpas29DV3icvMQeAW) Here a the tower of kitty's I made. All using the same kitty [pattern](https://www.craftybunnybun.com/cube-kitty-cat-amigurumi-pattern) just with different yarn weights/thickness: In this order: chunky, DK, 4ply, super fine ![IMG_20181109_112617-01-01](https://www.craftybunnybun.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_20181109_112617-01-01.jpeg?width=400&name=IMG_20181109_112617-01-01.jpeg) I hope you try this, I'm sure you'll love it if you do.
