I saw this somewhere a couple of years ago and I finally got around to try it out. Amazingly easy :)
First, you start with a knitted square. This is knitted with needle number 3 and yarn to go with it.
Then you thread a needle and sew with big stitches in the middle of the piece and up to the top and down again, making a triangle(I've drawn with orange here, white on white doesn't show well).
Then you pull a little, making the head. Before you pull all the way, you stuff it with wadding.
And then you pull it shut, making both head and ears. Then you sew down the back to make the body.
When you get to the bottom, you sew around the bottom edge, so that you can pull on the thread to close it when you've stuffed the body with wadding.
To make a pom pom tail, you cut a little peice of cardbord into a circle, with a hole in it(make the hole a bit bigger than in the picture), and pull the yarn around the ring until you absolutely cannot pull it through anymore. Cut the yarn along the edges- since the hole is stuffed with yarn the yarn will stay in place. Attach it to the bunny.
Time to sew a face on the rascal. This isoptional, tho :) Here I've just used dark grey yarn for the eyes, with white sewing thread to make the white dots in the eyes, and pink yarn for the nose.
And, if you like it, you can but a ribbon on it ;)
