Is in need of nests from small to larger for brand new baby bunnies and more! She is currently using soft blankets: (From Gina "Hello! I found your amazing organization accidentally on a New York State Department of Environmental Rehabber Facebook page. I am a licensed Rehabber who specializes in Eastern Cottontails. I work full time as a Registered Nurse and do private rehab out of my home. Since March I have already cared for almost 200 Cottons on my own, clearly I never sleep or rest. But that’s ok, these babies need me. I was hoping to be added to your list for crocheted bunny nests! I was so excited when I saw them! Amazing work! And so practical and helpful for me! .... I would love to be considered! I’m one of inly 4 private rehabbers on Long Island and these nests would help immensely!") | |||

Does not need NESTS currently (Jan 2021)
BUT... "What we do need are hammocks and hanging sacks for the lareger animals like raccoons and opossums."
PATTERNS you can use:
CROCHETED
Artificial Bird Nest
Round
1: Chain 2 (this counts as your first “stitch), work between
10 – 15
single crochets into th ring (depending on what thickness yarn you are
using). Slip stitch the last single crochet to the top stitch
in
the
chain 2 that started this round.
Round 2: Chain 2. Single crochet
into each of the next two stitches, then do 2 single
crochet’s into the
next stitch, single crochet into the next two stitches, then 2 single
crochet’s in the the next stitch. And on and on around the
circle. Slip
stitch your last single crochet into the top of the chain 2 that
started this round.
Round 3, 4, 5, 6, and on: Repeat Round 2 over
and over, until your circle is at least 3” big. You can make
your nest
with a bottom as small as 3” big, up to maybe 6”
big.
Once you
have made the bottom of the nest from 3” to 6” big,
from all rounds
thereafter, crochet ONE single crochet into each stitch. You will see
your “sides” begin to form. Crochet until the sides
are about 2 – 3”
high. Bind off and weave in loose ends

LOOM KNITTED
NESTS
copyright Beverly A. Qualheim 2008, 2019
These must be very
tightly
knitted.
Using a newborn sized loom,
and 2 - 3 strands of worsted weight or rug yarn
held together, wrap the loom 3 times around.
Now lift 1 wrap over
2 (double stitch) around.
Wrap again so there are 3 wraps.
Continue lifting 1 wrap over 2 wraps until nest is about 3 inches from
first row.
Remove using gathering method like you would for a hat. Weave
in
ends of yarn to hide.
Push the top down a little to make it nest like.
