It's summer time, his head won't get too cold (unless you are worried about sunburn?).
My god, I can't believe we're discussing such things!

I am completerly flummoxed here - I wish I had thought of this BEFORE I attached the ears to the bunny!
Wendy
Are you crocheting the hat circular (like a tube) or will it have a seam?

Thanks for that reassurance, pwags, but I feel that he isn't a real
unless he has a
's hat on.
Samwalkers: I started circular, then made front and back, leaving holes for ears, then a round bit again. It wouldn't go over his ears, so I'm having another go.

Gaffer tape
Or like a girl - lots of ribbons and bows. Bows tie good knots through and around a heap of stuff
And they look pretty too

Given that my bunny looks like a bloke, I may go with the gaffa tape. Thanks for the tips, people!

How about if you start circular then knit the front and back really l o n g. Then you can hem it up as you fit it. Whatever is left over roll it up.
Also:
I prefer the staple gun and hot glue to gaffa, though I did gaffa my boss once.

My son's patrol at Scouts is now officially "Duct Tape Patrol". Good choice I think.

trying to figure out how to turn a spade into a sword for my pirate gnome. (I have the exact same gnome as candy cane's!) this could be intresting. or hard. or end up in the casualty ward.

I have one
underway. 1 more needs a hole drilled and 2 others that still need painting. Trouble is it is school report writing time and I am busy busy with work and it is making it difficult to finish off my
family. It will be interesting to see how people make the various
from Bunnings individual by changing bits or painting them out. Mine is a Bunnings
. Will foam my
on the weekend.
One
may well go to the Northern Rivers Christmas Party event on Saturday night. A good place to make a debut.
