Tips for Success
Working with Alize Velluto yarn creates a wonderfully soft and velvety texture that makes Baylie extra cuddly. The chenille-style yarn does require some patience as it can be harder to see individual stitches, but the finished result is absolutely worth it. Use your stitch marker diligently to track the beginning of each round, and don’t hesitate to feel for your stitches if they’re difficult to see. The combination of 7mm and 4mm hooks allows you to create both substantial body parts and delicate details like the adorable bow accent.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can substitute with any similar weight chenille or velvet yarn. Keep in mind that changing yarn may affect the final size of your bunny, so adjust your hook size accordingly to achieve your desired dimensions.
The finished size depends on your tension and yarn choice, but using Alize Velluto yarn with a 7mm hook typically creates a bunny approximately 8-10 inches tall. The plush yarn creates a slightly larger amigurumi compared to standard cotton yarn.
While safety eyes are designed with a secure backing, they can still pose a choking hazard for very young children. For babies and toddlers, consider embroidering the eyes with black yarn instead of using plastic safety eyes.
