Bunny Cable Knitting Pattern

This sweet Bunny Cable Knit Stitch Pattern brings out the most adorable little bunny rabbit shape, perfect for your Easter and Springtime knitting!

Get your free written pattern instructions with video tutorials below. You may also purchase my ad-free printable pdf pattern in my Studio Knit Pattern Shop.

The twisted cables create the backside of an adorable bunny, complete with a bobble tail. The Bunny Cable itself is simply 8 stitches in the middle of a knitted square shape.

I hope you enjoy getting creative with this pattern, easily knitting up blankets, scarves, and pillows.
