If you happened to miss my pattern tester call, no worries, I have the Bunny pattern here for free! He works up pretty fast and I did need some additional supplies this time which included some recycled white cloth and a permanent black marker. Would also love to thank all the awesome Pattern Testers who helped me test this collection out!

When changing colours from the 12th light grey single crochet in Round 16 to black, will need to pull through black yarn through 2 light grey loops on hook, like you would normally do when changing colour.
You will then have 1 black loop on hook
Yarn over white, insert hook, yarn over white again, draw white yarn through –> you will have 2 white loops and 1 black loop on hook
Then draw white yarn through 2 white loops on hook –> you will have 1 white and 1 black loop on hook
Repeat process: yo white, insert hook, yo white and draw white yarn through –> you will have 3 white loops and 1 black loop on hook
Then draw black yarn through 2 white loops on hook –> you will have 1 black, 1 white and 1 black loop on hook
Repeat again: yo white, insert hook, yo white and draw white yarn through –> you will have 2 white, 1 black, 1 white, 1 black
Then draw white yarn through 2 white loops on hook –> you will have 1 white, 1 black, 1 white, 1 black
Repeat last time: yo white, insert hook, yo white and draw white yarn through –> you will have 3 white loops, 1 black, 1 white, 1 black
Then draw black yarn through 2 white loops on hook –> you will have 5 mixed loops (1 black, 1 white, 1 black, 1 white, 1 black) on hook
Then pull through light grey yarn through all 5 mixed loops on hook and sc1 in next main stitch.)
