Tips

• Do not join rounds, work in a continuous spiral.
• Use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark the end or the beginning of a round.
• All stitches are worked into both loops, unless stated otherwise in the pattern.
• Hares can be made in any desired colours.

Color Change Technique

For a seamless way of changing colors when working in the round, pick up the new color at the end of the round: insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over with the new color and pull through the stitch and the loop on your hook to complete the stitch.
