Bunny Girl Marilyn Blanket Knitting Pattern

This Bunny Girl Marilyn Blanket Knitting Pattern shows a sweet bunny girl with long rabbit ears, a bow on one ear and big eyes with lashes, wearing a full, frilly skirt, with little hearts floating around her and the name MARILYN below.

The whole picture is knitted in soft pink, shaped only by knit and purl stitches. The motif rises in garter stitch against a smooth stockinette ground and is framed by a garter stitch border, so it shows through texture rather than color and works in any single solid shade.

Every HitsKnits pattern is written by hand, never generated by AI, and every stitch count is checked.

Language: English.

Bunny Girl Marilyn Blanket Knitting Pattern – Knit and Purl Texture Only

On the right side, the cottontail bunny, the hearts and every letter of the name sit as rows of little horizontal ridges above the flat background, so the blanket gives you a picture you can feel as well as see. Left-handed knitters get a note of their own: reading each row from the end back to the beginning keeps MARILYN from coming out mirrored.

Blanket Uses and Keepsake Gift Ideas

A sweet, girly keepsake for the nursery, this Bunny Girl Marilyn Blanket Knitting Pattern turns simple knits and purls into a personalized heirloom for a little one named Marilyn. Knit it for a baby shower, a first birthday, or an Easter and springtime gift for a little rabbit lover.

What the Bunny Girl Marilyn Blanket Knitting Pattern Includes

The Bunny Girl Marilyn Blanket Knitting Pattern is written with clear row-by-row instructions only, there is no chart. Every row tells you exactly which stitches to knit and which to purl, and an arrow beside each row shows the knitting direction. The motif appears gradually as you work, starting with the letters of the name and growing up into the bunny and her hearts. Finishing notes cover binding off, weaving in the ends and gentle blocking to bring out the texture.

Skill level: beginner. This beginner friendly pattern is easy to follow: if you can cast on, knit, purl and bind off and keep an accurate stitch count, you are ready.

Finished Sizes, Materials, and Gauge

Finished size depends on your yarn and needles:

Yarn & needles	Size & age	Yarn amount
Sport / DK 3.75-4 mm (US 5-6) Gauge 22 sts × 29 rows	30 × 41″ 75 × 103 cm Baby, 0-2 years Spring and summer	450 g 1100 m / 1200 yd
Worsted 4.5-5 mm (US 7-8) Gauge 18 sts × 24 rows	36 × 49″ 92 × 125 cm Toddler, 1-5 years All year round	800 g 1350 m / 1500 yd
Aran 5.5 mm (US 9) Gauge 16 sts × 22 rows	41 × 54″ 103 × 136 cm Child, 3-8 years Autumn and winter	950 g 1500 m / 1650 yd
Chunky 6-6.5 mm (US 10-10.5) Gauge 14 sts × 20 rows	46 × 59″ 118 × 150 cm Child to adult Winter	1350 g 1850 m / 2000 yd

Yarn amounts are approximate. Gauge is measured in stockinette over 10 × 10 cm (4 × 4″).

Smooth, solid-colored yarn shows the texture best. Fluffy, heavily variegated or boucle yarns hide the relief and make the bunny and the name harder to see.

Blanket size: 165 stitches x 300 rows.

The blanket is worked flat in rows on a circular needle with a 100-120 cm (40-47 in) cable, which holds all 165 stitches comfortably.
