Next up in my Zoodiacs collection is the Zoodiacs Bunny Rabbit c2c crochet graph. All my Zoodiacs are big-headed, small-bodied cuties in graph form. With the graph, you can make graphghans, or work the pattern using C2C (corner-to-corner) crochet. I think this bunny...
This project has taken me long enough, so I'm even more excited to share the results of my months of crocheting and procrastination! I call it my Zoodiacs, a collection of graphs depicting the animals in the Chinese zodiac. With these graphs, you can create a...
