Automatically translated by machine. This is a little tutorial on the basics of
crochet. There is an accompanying blog post with photo
instructions over at www.VioletLeBeaux.com I learned from friends, books and videos so

Enjoy and good luck with your bunny! Finished bunny!

Pull the hook down and through again. This time go through the two loops on the
hook. It forms a new stitch again.
Wrap the yarn. Pull it through the first loop, wrap the yarn
Continue until you run out of chains. One stitch for each chain so 20 stitches.
Continue onwards same as the last row. Every time you finish a row, add two extra
