You crocheted a very cute pattern. The bunny reminds me a bit of Bug’s Bunny which makes it even cuter. If I ever decide to crochet this bunny rattle, I don’t know what the crochet terms mean: x, v, w, m or A. I wouldn’t know how to knit from these instructions. I don’t see a terminology key that defines these letters / terms. Thanks so much.

That’s a good point, thank you for letting me know. I should put in a key sometime 😀 But for now, “x – single crochet”, “v – single crochet increase”, “w – 3 single crochets in the same stitch”, “m – 3 single crochets to 1 single crochet”, “A – single crochet decrease”.

I created a Crochet Terminology Key for myself to make it easier to crochet so I thought I’d share it with you.
Key for Crochet Terminology
x – sc (single crochet)
v – sc inc (2 single crochet increase (i.e. make 2 sc in the same stitch)
w – sc3inc (3 single crochet increase (i.e. make 3 sc in the same stitch)
m – sc3tog (single crochet 3 stitches together)
A – sc2tog (single crochet 2 stitches together)

You’re welcome. I started crocheting this baby bunny rattle. I’ll send a photo when I’m finished. I’m making some changes to the pattern to make it look a bit more like Bug’s Bunny since it already slightly looks like him.
I noticed one error in the pattern that I thought I’d let you know about. It’s easier for another person to find errors so it’s always helpful when someone else crochets your pattern. Everyone makes errors when they are writing up patterns, I’m surprised I only found one. Good job!!!
Errata Data:
Bunny Head Round 12:
Original: 7x, 2w, 6(x, v), 2x, 7x
Corrected: 7x, 2w, 6(x, v), 2w, 7x
