I was trying to do something with knitted bunny heads over the weekend, and feeling a little frustrated with it. At one point, in my exasperation, I sacrificed a bunny head to one of the drawer pulls on my desk. It popped right on!
The backs of the plastic eyes kind of get in the way, but if I replace those with yarn eyes, I bet it would make a pretty good pull. So maybe I’ll make more to gussy up my desk.
Drawer pulls! Why stop there? Door knob covers, nose warmers, toilet flush cozies, faucet hiders; you could do the whole house!! Very cute!
Very ingenius! A little big scarey for poor bodyless bunny though! lol
That is just the best idea ever. Very inspirational.
Ya know, I think you’re on to something. If the hole was oriented to the bottom they would also make great pencil toppers.
Cute and a little creepy. Like knitted bunny taxidermy!
Thats cute! I really like idea xo
Ooh that’s right—I could give the bunny little X eyes. But maybe I’m not that cruel…
lol. that little disembodied bunny head is somehow creepy and cute at the same time.
I love it!
Those are too cute! A very darling idea for a baby’s room. Maybe not a toddler though, as they’d have to be attached really firmly or they’d get popped right off again.
I bet those would make cute ear muffs if they were just a wee bit larger (fine size for a kidling, but not for anyone adult sized). With Xes for eyes or not!
ahh thats wayyy tooo cuuutteee
oh the ideas i have brewing in my head for when my own place is birthed
What an extremely sweet and great idea!
LOL X eyes…maybe a bit extreme there Anna for something so cute!! I love the drawer pull!! Bet there are a lot of new mommies that would love to decorate a little ones room with those too.
OMG! I love those! They are very cute! I could see making those for a baby shower and give them as an added little gift! I think that they would be good for little ones too because they wouldn’t hit their little heads on the pulls. I love how creative your projects are Anna!!!
I am glad I am not the only one who thought after a second glance of bunny taxidermy.
Pattern! I like it! The drawer pulls in my old apartment furniture are so dull, and I can’t change them!
I love it!!!! That is so cute! I love it so much!!!!!!!
Ok, that is strange.
Best. Accident. Eva.
A smashing idea!! Love the little bunny head !!
“Ooh that’s right—I could give the bunny little X eyes. But maybe I’m not that cruel…”
You know you can be cruel!
I sewed X eyes on a scarf I made – granted, the bunny had a carrot through its head!
omigod omigod omigod! must cover every knob with someone’s head! ;D
you can cut the back posts off so they are not in the way..this is the cutest ever!
Is there a pattern for this adorable piece of taxidermy? Pretty please with sugar on top??
Well, I attempted to make one of my own. Here he is next to a DVD to show scale: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3469/3240445008_bd27c26254_o.jpg
He’s a little wonky since this was a completely made-up pattern, but I tried!
Wow, nice job! If enough people want them, I’ll consider writing up some patterns for different animals. I wonder how universal drawer pull are, or if it would be necessary to create different sizes…
I think one size would be sufficient, although I’m no drawer expert. I left the back of mine a little open (after pulling the yarn through the remaining stitches), so it could be pulled tight once placed on the drawer. At least, that’s the theory.
