MADE WITH HOMBYS
Grey Bunny & Elephant Friends by @christyscozycritters
Two little rabbits and a big-eared elephant make a wonderfully soft grey collection. Maker @christyscozycritters shared these chunky chenille creations together in a woven basket, combining light and dark tones with small pink details.
The dark rabbit’s upright ears and flower accent contrast with the pale rabbit’s floppy ears and peaceful embroidered face. Beside them, the elephant’s large pale-lined ears and curved trunk give the third character its own personality.
The Maker’s Experience
In the original caption, the maker shared her enthusiasm for working with HOMBYS yarn and asked which colors she should try next. The image labels the yarn colors as Grey and Dark Grey.
We love how a small neutral palette works across three different shapes. Contrasting ears, a pink nose, and a little flower add character without taking away from the soft grey color story.
Meet the Collection
- Dark grey rabbit: tall ears, a soft pink nose, and a little pale pink flower.
- Pale grey rabbit: floppy ears, closed embroidered eyes, and a small pink nose.
- Dark grey elephant: large ears with lighter inner panels, a curved trunk, and expressive eyes.

YARN PLANNING · REFERENCE ESTIMATE
How much yarn should I prepare?
Quantity status: needs the original pattern.
Shaped, stuffed, wrapped or multi-piece construction cannot be reliably converted from flat area. The original pattern must confirm dimensions, stitch density, piece count and yarn needed in each shade.
| Yarn / color group | Whole-skein planning budget |
|---|---|
| 4 Dark Grey+4 Grey | Pattern-specific quantity required |
| Pink | Pattern-specific quantity required |
| black | Pattern-specific quantity required |
| Pure White | Pattern-specific quantity required |
Use the original pattern’s yarn weight or yardage for each color, then divide by the yarn length / weight on the product label and round up. Do not assume an 8-skein pack will make every item in a group photo.
Before buying: swatch in the intended stitch, measure the finished swatch and yarn used, then scale to your chosen size. The reference size above is an assumption unless marked maker-reported. These figures do not establish the original finished size or actual yarn used.
