This wool is wicked for knitting soft, slightly fluffy, cuddly things. I shows some increases more, being really chunky, but it hides the seams/sewing better as its a bit fluffy like chenille. The pattern was for a different wool all together, but I used needles 2 sizes smaller then the ball label recommended (to make sure the stuffing couldn't be seen through the knitting) and simply followed the pattern. On the pink bunny, I made the ears a tad longer, but this was a mistake and I had to stitch more of the lower edge to the head to stop them being too floppy!! I also made the pink bunny's arms slightly thinner then the blue ones, I think they look better. Beware, the white of this wool knits up bigger than the flecked wool so I had to adjust the tension/number of stitches for the ears and arms! I like how big these bunnies have turned out.
