Product Details
This is a pattern to make a decorative or toy rabbit, such as could be hung on a Christmas tree. I have written this pattern to be sold in support of Acorn Rabbit Rescue founded by my friends Caroline and Mick in Bridlington, East Yorkshire, UK. They have been rescuing rabbits and guinea pigs since the start of 2020. Many old and very neglected rabbits have been taken in as well as young ones bought in the pandemic and then no longer wanted. Not all can be rehomed if they have long term health problems and these rabbits live out their lives at Acorn. Others are rehomed and so far 55 rabbits and guinea pigs have been taken in and 32 have been rehomed.
The Acorn rabbit softie is a simple design that is quick to knit and uses oddments of yarn left over from other projects. It is knit using dk yarn for the rabbit and 4 ply oddments for the optional scarf. Most of the pieces are knitted in stocking stitch but the ears are knit in moss stitch and the limbs in i-cord.
