The pattern for these quick cuties is free on my blog. If you make some please tag me when you share pix so I can love them too. Please click the link in my bio for easy access.

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.

The “Rocky Mtn Spiral Square” is block #6 of the #mooglycal2022

Weekly Wash #41: Frank Hanging Towel

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Ever since I made my Frank & Bride Cloths in 2018 I have wanted to make a hanging towel to match.

I decided to make “Frank” similar to some of my other cloths so the bottom opens up to a nice sized towel. With two guys in the house they won’t use it unless it “looks like a cloth” lol.

With a yarn needle, use the yarn tails to sew each screw to the bottom section of the head at the sides. See main photo for placement.

Closure
To attach the towel around a towel bar, one or two snaps are sewn to the back of the head.
With matching thread or yarn, sew each snap piece to the back of the head section. See photos below for placement.
The hair should fold next to the last row of tr nubs.

One snap closure: One piece is sewn at the bottom, center edge of the head and the opposite piece is sewn to the top, center edge.
