Our sophisticated rabbit features soft white fur and an upright, proper posture. She is dressed in her signature silhouette: a smart Navy Blue coat-dress that fits impeccably, adorned with a row of buttons and a defined waist. To ward off the London chill, she wears a bright Red scarf tied neatly at her neck. Her accessories are iconic: a stiff-brimmed black hat decorated with humble white daisies, and sensible black ankle boots (perfect for rooftops, though she prefers the pavement).

She carries her mysterious, oversized carpet bag, rich with tapestry textures, and her famous black umbrella. Look closely at the umbrella handle—it features the head of a cheeky green parrot! To complete the scene, she is accompanied by a jolly little Penguin waiter, ready to serve tea and dance. This pattern is designed for intermediate crocheters who enjoy detailed accessory work.

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 clothing is designed to be removable, though the boots are best sewn on for stability.

Construction Overview

The rabbit is constructed in pieces. The head is round with long, shaped ears. The body is formed by joining the legs. The coat-dress is the main garment, worked from the neck down with a flared skirt. The accessories—the carpet bag, umbrella, and penguin—are detailed miniatures that require patience and attention to detail, particularly the parrot handle.
