Cute Bunny Crochet Square Photo Tutorial

These cute little cabled bunnies were inspired by a knit pattern I found on Pinterest.

Immediately when I saw it I thought, hey I wonder if I could crochet that. It took a little trial and error to get it just right but it all finally worked out.

These little squares would be great for a baby blanket, an Easter project or anything else you can think of!
