Her outfit is truly spectacular. The centerpiece is a floor-length evening gown in a rich Navy or Midnight Blue, adorned with delicate gold embroidery representing constellations and shimmering stars. To stay warm in the evening air, she wears a luxurious white faux fur stole draped elegantly around her shoulders. A petite golden crown sits atop her head, marking her as the princess of the starlight ball. Her accessories include sparkling silver shoes and a whimsical star-shaped handbag. Accompanying her is a tiny, fluffy white sheep companion, adding a touch of softness to the scene. This pattern is perfect for intermediate crocheters who enjoy detailed costume design and embroidery.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Gauge & Finished Size

Work tightly in continuous spiral rounds for the rabbit body so the stuffing does not show. Using DK yarn and a 2.5mm hook, the finished rabbit stands approximately 28–30 cm (11–12 inches) tall (excluding ears). The dress is designed to be removable.

Construction Overview

The rabbit is constructed in pieces. The head is a classic round shape, and the ears are long and upright. The body is pear-shaped, created by joining the legs. The dress is the most detailed part, worked from the waist up and down, with embroidery added afterwards. The fur stole is a simple rectangular piece using specialty yarn. The mini sheep uses bobble stitches for texture.
