Free Crochet Pattern - Sleeping Easter Bunny

     Happy Easter a day early!  Today's post will be for an easy (Sleeping) Easter Bunny.  As you can see from the pictures, it has been well loved.  Annie pulled one of the ears out of shape, so maybe I should make a new one! :)

It only took about a day to make (and that includes the time I took to write down the pattern), so if you are a fast crocheter, you might have it finished by tomorrow! :)
