Stuffed toy rabbit knit flat in pieces then seamed and sewn together, wearing a stranded colorwork dress. Finished rabbit is approximately 9 3/4 in/25 cm tall, not including the ears.

Note that the yardage is the total yardage required if you buy full balls of every color required - the pattern needs only a few yards of most of the 4 Ply yarns, except the main dress color which requires most of a ball. The rabbit requires a full ball of Cashsoft DK and part of another.
