Make Something They'll Hold Onto for Years There are a few gifts that get set aside. A handmade bunny with her own little dress, hairband, and crocheted flower is not one of them. This is the one that gets named, carried around, and remembered. The construction is thorough and well-organized, knit from the legs up in one piece with a separately knitted dress. Every element is covered, including the face sculpting, eye placement, and the tiny button-back dress with a Fair Isle yoke detail. Skill Level: Intermediate Finished Size: 19 cm (approx. 7.5 inches) tall The body, legs, and head are worked in one continuous piece in the round, which means less seaming and a cleaner overall shape The dress is knitted top-down with a raglan construction and includes a colorwork yoke band, skirt shaping, and three button closures at the back Includes a matching knitted hairband with a small crocheted flower accent, so the finished toy is complete as shown "I made this for my granddaughter and she hasn't put it down. It came out exactly like the picture."
