---

Assembly

1. Attach legs at body base, feet angled slightly outward.
2. Sew arms at the shoulder line; let the left arm relax by the tote strap and the right arm hang neutrally (no bottle in hand).
3. Attach ears with a soft forward tilt.
4. Dress order: mint tee → striped pinafore → sneakers → hat.
5. Place the tote over the left arm; ensure tulips peek above the rim and the lemon charm hangs at the lower corner.
6. Set the almond-milk bottle on the table at the bunny’s right side.

---

Finishing & Styling

• Keep toy fabric dense (US 2.5) for lifelike stitches; maintain gentle drape on garments (US 4).
• Steam the pinafore waist ridge lightly so it reads as a tidy band; smooth the mint hem fold.
• Roll the cloche brim along its purl ridge so it turns down naturally over the forehead.
• Tug shoe bows into neat loops; a single hidden tack at each heel keeps shoes aligned for display.
• For photo styling, place your bunny on a weathered wooden table among baskets of greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes; set the bottle on the table, not in the bunny’s paw.

---

Troubleshooting

• Dress too snug at bust: add 8 sts evenly at the armhole split before working bodice rows.
• Hat slips back: run a thread of clear elastic in the rib band or reduce CO by 4 sts.
• Mesh tote collapses: thread a spare i-cord through the rim or add a small oval of card at the base (remove for child use).
• Bottle topples: add a tiny pebble or steel washer inside before closing, or use removable putty on the tabletop for photos.
