Finishing & Assembly
- Sew the muzzle to the front center of the head, lining it up under the marked eye stitches. Embroider the nose and mouth with light pink thread as suggested in the Muzzle section.
- Sew ears to the top of the head; fold the bottom of each ear as instructed to give a natural ear shape before attaching.
- Attach arms to the sides of the body and feet to the bottom front so the bunny can sit upright. Use the long tails left on each piece to securely sew them in place, reinforcing with a couple of passes for durability.
- Attach the tail to the lower back of the body. Weave in all yarn tails neatly into the body to hide them.
- Safety note: If making this toy for small children, consider embroidering eyes or using child-safe embroidered features instead of removable safety eyes.
Customization Ideas
- Add a tiny crocheted scarf, ribbon, or felt flower for seasonal decor.
- Change yarn color for different looks — soft pastels work well for spring themes.
- Adjust stuffing amount for a firmer or softer toy.
