I love this pattern from Gail Wilson. These rabbits are made of wool, stuffed with wool, have button joints and tiny button eyes. The pattern comes with the clothes too, and even pantalets for the girl bunny.
I made these in 2009 for the kids' Easter basket. All the fabrics were leftovers and everything went together smoothly. Then in 2010 I made these:
I like the colors on these but the head shape isn't so good. I think the fabric I used -- some long-ago leftover black wool crepe -- stretched lengthwise more than widthwise so I couldn't get the nose to stuff outwards and instead the heads just grew. I still think they're cute.
The problem now is that the kids want rabbits for 2011 too!
