Crochet the 2nd ear in the same way (Photo 17)

Fold ears as shown in Photo 18 and sew them together with yellow yarn, then sew to the top of the egg (Photo 19)

Try on button eyes between rows 17 and 18, embroider eyelashes, then sew (or glue) on button eyes, or alternatively, use embroidery floss and a French knot to sew on eyes. Use embroidery floss to do a stitch nose.

If desired, add pink to the inside of bunny ears and cheeks using pink blush (or pink eyeshadow) and a brush.
