Using my addi-express kingsize 46 needle machine:

Cast on with scrap - work 5 rows. Switch to project yarn using the first of three black needles.

Project yarn is beige unlabelled yarn (suspected worsted and weight). Work 34 rows then switch to scrap for 5 more rows. Remove from machine.

Finish ends of the tube with a crochet hook and work in the yarn tail. Now with your square created we will count out 12 rows from one end and mark the left and right sides. Fold the square vertically to mark the middle top stitch of this piece.

Now with three points marked with stitch markers, take a darning needle and go through both layers of knitting to start to form a draw string area that will be stuffed and form the bunny head and corners - the ears.

I added stuffing to the head and finished by reinforcing the neck and the ears. Working down the back I used mattress stitch to close the spine are to the edge. I then have a body tube that I stuffed and brought the open edge of the tube together with a drawstring closure. Once closed I created a basic Pom Pom with 60 wraps of white yarn around three fingers. I finished with yarn the same color as the body to secure the Pom Pom and then attach it to the bunny butt.

This is brave bunny. This can be made on any machine as long as the knitting is a square. I made this to consider donating them to children needing an emotional hug.
