She is dressed in a romantic and airy outfit perfect for a day at the flower market. Her dress is a lovely shade of pale lavender, featuring a skirt worked in an intricate shell stitch that flares out like the petals of a flower. A tiny, delicate tulip is hand-embroidered on the bodice, adding a sweet personal touch. To keep warm in the cool spring breeze, she wears a cozy ivory vest layered over her dress. Her look is topped with a classic wide-brimmed straw hat, tied with an elegant purple silk ribbon to match her gown. She walks comfortably in earthy brown Mary Jane shoes. Her accessories complete the story: a rustic woven basket overflowing with colorful tulips, a busy bumblebee friend resting on her hat, and a wise little crochet owl companion keeping her company. This pattern is perfect for intermediate crocheters who love floral themes and detailed miniature accessories.

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

Construction Overview

The rabbit is constructed in pieces. The head is round, and the ears are long tubes sewn to hang downwards. The body is pear-shaped and sturdy.
