Most are made from blanket yarn, but I did write a version for regular cotton too. They take less than 20 minutes each from start to finish and the pattern is so easy that you will have it memorized after the second bunny....so you can whip up a whole litter! (is that what you call a bunch of bunnies?? lol)

The colors I’m using for the blocks I’ve made are to match someone’s house for a gift. 
They are not my usual palette (which is much brighter), but it’s fun seeing different combos for a change.

Free Pattern: Solar Fun Flowers

Last year, for Mother’s Day, I wanted something fun and unique to make for my mom. She has a lot of solar lamps in her yard so I bought a few new ones and made flower covers. These whip up quickly. They just slip over the round lamp (different styles coming soon).

Since Teacher Appreciation Week is this week at my son’s school I made apple variations too.

Want to save this for later?

  • CLICK HERE to add it to your favorites on Ravelry.

Looking for something similar?

  •  New “Big Blooms” for larger, flat top solar lamps.
  •  “Solar Minions” for tall, skinny solar lamps.
  •  Little Blooms for tall and skinny solar lamps: coming soon.
