The finished rabbit measures approximately 6cm (2⅜in) from tip of ears to lower edge of ruff and 5.5cm (2⅛in) wide.

Rocco Rabbit looks dashing in a wide crocheted ruff with an ornate scalloped edging. The rabbit is finished with embroidered details and a brooch bar. Rocco also looks lovely displayed in a picture frame.
Inspired by the Commedia dell’Arte, Rocco Rabbit is a member of an imaginary theatrical troupe.

I used Scheepjes Maxi Sweet Treat. The project takes just a small amount of each shade of thread.
