The Crochet Peep Bunny is so quick and easy to crochet. FAST quick Easter Gift.
You can make a Basket of Beep Bunnies in no time, and add them to the kid's Easter Baskets as an extra gift.
I will be honest I had zero idea what my grandson was talking about when he asked for a Bunny Peep.
Apparently, these Bunny Peeps work for the easter Bunny and like to keep an eye on the children in the lead-up to Easter to see if they have behaved well.
Then at Easter, the bunny peep tells the parents how good they have been for Easter.
This is my grandson's explanation he and his friends have chatted about Peep bunnies.
Oh to be small again and remember the unlimited magical stories.
Anyway, after some investigation, I found out that Bunny Peeps are Small stuffed crochet bunnies.
I found them on Amazon and they are Adorable

Of course, you can buy them - HERE but you know me I'm going to crochet one or maybe a few because they really are a adorable.
The Bunny Peep is made using the amigurumi crochet technique, which involves working in the around and tight stitches.
When crocheting Amirugurumi I prefer the Yarn UNDER at the crochet method.
The yarn under method is Super simple its basically a single crochet stitch instead of yarn OVER the hook and then pull through, simply work stitch by working the yarn under the hook (NOT OVER as normally would) and then pulling through
You will be Creating a basic shape of a long-eared bunny, embroidered (or safety eyes) features, with an adorable fluffy tail.
The Crochet Peep Bunny is a pretty basic amigurumi crochet pattern Super quick, and easy to make and you can crochet a few of them in any color you wish.
The crocheted bunny peep plushies are soft and squishy, making them great toys for kids and add to their Easter Buckets and give as small Gifts or can be used as Easter Decorations.
Traditional Bunny peep colors are peep colors: yellow, purple, and pink but you can make them any color you wish. My grandson wanted a light blue one and picked the yarn from my stash
