ADDING TOP STITCHES:
Insert your 7mm hook into Baby Beth Bunny’s top right shoulder. Yarn over with a new strand of blue yarn and pull through, yarn over to complete a slip stitch.
Insert your hook into the next stitch, working between the color changes, yarn over, pull up a loop, and yarn over and pull though both loops, completing a single crochet stitch onto the surface.
Continue working along the edge of the jacket, across the back, then up the other side on the front. Work a slip stitch at the top corner of the 2nd shoulder. Fasten off and weave in ends.
And there you have it! The cutest little jacket on your garden bunny!
