You know, this picture from my  Instagram feed  has collected more than 900 likes ... ... and a colourful crocheter named Karin @woolfieber , made her own version just looking at my pic (you can find her work  HERE  ) !!!! My idea, since the beginning , was to prepare a photo tutorial for you, but do you really need one ? These Granny Bunnies are so easy to crochet, believe me !!!! YOU NEED : some colourful mercerised cotton a 3,5 mm hook a pair of scissors a tapestry needle beads for embellishments (optional) Please note that I follow the US crochet terminology, thank you !

They are my participation to the invitation given by  Lucy from Attic24  to join the challenge to make the longest bunting ever (!!!!!!) , but you know, I decided to "be there" even in a different way!!!! Following  the granny bunting triangles tutorial  written by  Lucy , I decided to crochet some more (extras !) granny triangles.... ....to have my personal "Yarndale Bunting", just to remember myself I was there too, with my sent triangles and my heart!!! If you like, I'll show you how I did embellish them!!! Follow me !!! Scallop edging : Starting from the "A" corner, make a single crochet ( SC) , then in the first shell,...
