One last posting for Easter craft ideas. When I was in 8th grade home economics class, I learned a simple craft made with Easter candy, and I’ve made them every year since then for my children and extended family.
Based on the candy craft, I came up with a pattern for making the Bunny Hot Rod on an Addi Pro knitting machine.

½ oz. purple
¾ oz. black
