This is a .pdf crochet pattern, written in standard American crochet terms. With this easy pattern, you can make an incredibly cute crochet rabbit. You can make the lovely little cardigan in any colour you like and add the cutest buttons to it. You can also make a Peter rabbit with this pattern, because in the blue cardigan, Poochey sure reminds us of a famous rabbit!

Size
If you use the recommended yarn, Poochey will be 7 inch / 17 cm.

Materials
For this crochet rabbit you’ll need worsted weight yarn and an E US/3.5 mm crochet hook. You’ll need three colours of yarn: barley, 1/3 of a 100-yard skein, straw (1/3), murky brown (1/6) and any colour you like for the cardigan. For the eyes I’ve used 9 mm animal eyes. You will also need fibrefill to stuff the rabbit. Lopi colour numbers: 1419, 1418, 1420.

The crochet pattern contains
An intro with useful info. List of materials, tools and accessories needed. Brand and colour numbers of the needed yarn. A clear and colour coded description of how to crochet and assemble the animal. Pictures and illustrations to help getting everything right. All my patterns are text edited for correct English and have been tested by an experienced crocheter before publishing.

Yarn
Istex Lett lopi. I strongly recommend using a fuzzy yarn because it gives the best result.

Gauge is unimportant for this pattern. If the pieces are crocheted tightly enough, they will not gape visibly when stuffed. You can make a little test swap to be sure.
