Easter Bunny Dyeing
Have you dyed your Tiny Baby Bunnies for Easter yet? btc989 shows us how!
You start with some white bunnies, and some cups with dye in them.
Dip a bunny by its tail…
Just do a half-dip if you want a multicolored bunny.
I bet this basket would be a bigger hit than jellybeans!
The knitter/photographer assures us that no bunnies were hurt or actually “dyed” in this process. Another great entry in our Tiny Baby Bunnies Contest!
Now we know how to dye our bunnies, but did you know that bunnies sometimes dye themselves? Driveshesaid shows us what can happen if they’re left unsupervised!
What a mess! So be sure you keep an eye on your bunnies—this week we’ve seen that left unchecked, they might play the lottery, build an empire, torture and kill marshmallow Peeps, or start a protest!
You can make your own Tiny Baby Bunnies from the free pattern! Share them in the Mochimochi Friends Flickr group. (The bunny contest is over, but all other photos will be automatically entered in our big contest in the fall.)
Bunnies are the 99%
These bunnies are speaking truth to power, and their numbers are multiplying!
D.C. area knitter Rusty made these outspoken little guys to surprise coworkers with. If only all activists were this adorable!
Tiny Bunny Cannibalism?
We announced the winners of the Tiny Baby Bunnies Contest yesterday, but we had so many favorites that we’re going to be featuring many more here on the blog!
This scene is not for the weak at heart…. it appears that some bunnies don’t take kindly to their marshmallow counterparts. Eek!
The photo is by Laliebugs. We love the sick sense of humor!
You can see all 300+ Tiny Baby Bunnies Contest entries in the Mochimochi Friends Flickr Group. And you can knit your own Tiny Baby Bunnies with the free pattern!
Tiny Baby Bunnies Contest Winners!
Thank you so much to everyone who entered our Tiny Baby Bunnies Contest! We were so thrilled to have more than 300 PHOTOS entered, and you all really came through with the creativity: your bunnies were dramatic, educational, and hilarious.
There were so many wonderful entries that we’re going to be featuring many of them throughout the month of April. It was agony choosing just three to be our winners, but we had to narrow it down so that someone could win our prizes, these baskets of beautiful, colorful Koigu yarn. Thank you Koigu!
Are you ready for the winners? See them after the jump!
Hatching Bunnies
Everyone knows that bunnies hatch from eggs, but did you know they come FIVE to an egg?

This is a free knitting pattern for everyone to enjoy, excerpted from my book Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi. Please check out the Mochimochi Shop for more patterns that you’ll love!

These little hens were feeling proud of their big accomplishments a few hours ago, but now they’re just trying to figure out how to get off this ride…
Last Weekend to Enter!
This really big little bunny is here to remind us that this is the last weekend to enter the Tiny Baby Bunnies Contest!
If you haven’t entered yet, that still gives you enough time to knit up some Tiny Baby Bunnies, photograph them doing something awesome, and upload it to Flickr. Look at the beautiful Koigu yarn our top three winners will get!
The deadline is Monday night, April 2nd at midnight Eastern time. See full contest details here!
