This is the first pattern in the Skill Builder Series.

If you are a brand-new knitter, this pattern is for you!

Grab those needles and jump into the world of knitting and toy making.

Written for an absolute beginner, Garter Stitch Bunny is designed to give you practice with the knit stitch while you make something cute and finished to be proud of.

The whole bunny is knit flat in garter stitch, using only a small amount of bulky yarn, so it works up fast and shows results quickly, which is exactly what keeps a new knitter going.

Skill Level: Beginner

This is one of the very patterns she used to teach children and adults to knit, written by someone who knows how to get a first-timer to a finished toy.

Designed by Julie Anderson of The Byrd’s Nest, an early childhood educator with a Master’s in special education who taught beginner knitting classes through her local Parks and Recreation department.
