     • Round 15: (15 sc, 1 dec) x 2 → 32 stitches.
     • Round 16 to 20: Work decreases until 24 stitches around.
8. Fold the ear flat and sew or crochet it together to close. Leave a long thread to sew to the bunny’s head later. Make two ears.

   • Round 23: (8 sc, 1 dec) x 6 → 54 stitches.
   • Continue with formula until 6 sc remain.
7. Add safety eyes between rows 7 and 8, and place the nose between rows 3 and 4, ensuring alignment between the eyes. Stuff firmly as you decrease.
8. Close the hole and leave the yarn tail for sewing.

Section 3: Bunny Feet

1. Start with white yarn and crochet a chain of 12.
2. Round 1: Work 10 sc back along the chain. In the last stitch, crochet 3 sc for the turn. Then work along the other side of the chain with 9 sc and finish with 2 sc in the last stitch.
3. Round 2: (1 sc, 1 inc) x around. Continue increasing at the turns.
4. Rounds 3 to 4: Work even rows around.
5. Stuff the feet lightly and fold them flat. Crochet 9 sc across the opening to close. Make two feet.

Section 4: Bunny Arms

1. Start the same as the feet but work fewer stitches for a smaller arm shape.
2. Stuff lightly and close similarly to the feet.

Section 5: Carrot

1. Round 1: With orange yarn, make a magic ring, and crochet 6 sc.
2. Round 2: (1 sc, 1 inc) x 3 → 9 stitches.
3. Work even rows until satisfied with the length of the carrot. Begin decreasing by skipping stitches until only 2 to 3 stitches are left.
4. Using the green yarn, make chains of varying lengths to resemble leaves. Sew or attach to the top of the carrot.

Section 6: Tail

1. Start with a magic ring using white yarn.
2. Crochet 6 sc inside and work 1 to 2 rows of increases.
3. Add several rounds without increases to build up the ball shape. Stuff firmly and sew it to the back of the body.

Assembly:

1. Wrap the Rainbow Yarn Around the Ring:
   • Wrap the yarn tightly around the polyester ring until the entire surface is covered. Tie off and secure the ends. Create a loop to hang the finished project.
2. Attach Pieces:
   • Glue or sew the bunny’s head to the upper portion of the ring.
   • Secure the arms, ensuring they look as though the bunny is holding onto the ring.
   • Attach the feet at the bottom, slightly angled outward.
   • Sew the ears onto the head, ensuring symmetry.
   • Glue or sew the carrot to the bunny’s hands, or place it near the bunny as decoration.
3. Final Details:
   • Add blush to the bunny’s cheeks, paws, and ears for a soft, cute appearance.

Final Touches and Care Tips:

• Use a clear sealant on the yarn if you intend to hang this outdoors to protect against weather damage.
• Spot clean with a damp cloth to avoid damaging the glued parts.
• Keep out of reach of small children due to the small safety eyes and other parts.
