You can now find the free pattern and instructions for the dog AND the bunny from the book on the Martha Stewart website:

The step-by-step directions are excellent with online links to specific stitches mentioned. There is no template - you just draw freehand the bunny shape to your liking. Also included are instructions on how to make a pom-pom tail. Too cute!

The project is from a new book by Miyako Kanamori, published by Penguin, called “Happy Gloves” - which, as the name suggests, is all about making cute little critters from a humble glove. Miyako also authored the popular softie book, “Sock and Glove“.
