Mutant marshmallow bunny

My husband and I are in the habit of trading pet names of increasing ridiculousness, drawn from the grocery store. I occasionally like to crochet him representations of such names. This time, it was a chocolate-covered marshmallow rabbit. It came out a little stumpy, but since I wrote down the pattern as I went, here it is. As usual, crochet abbreviations and my pattern writing conventions may be found on the crochet reference page. Incidentally, I used sportweight yarn and a C hook (2.75mm). Note that I haven’t tested this at all.

Ears:
1. sc 4 in magic ring
2. 2sc, sc, 2sc, sc (6)

Cut yarn on first ear and pull through. Leave yarn connected to second ear and continue crocheting with it. First, awkwardly sc the ears together with one sc (see photo below).
