Percy the elephant is super cute, small and very easy to make! It takes about 1 and a half hours or so, and can be done in any yarn, though I prefer a DK with a hook - Percy fits nicely in the palm of a hand - tiny!
Easter Bunny from a knitted square--this is not the original tutorial, but shows all the steps in one picture. Original tutorial from Jo So and Sew. I an easily do this, have done the squares already!
