A little pattern to celebrate spring and all its joys. Rabbits are a very special animal to me, and I designed this jumper with Lola, one of my bunnies, in mind. I have knitted her racing through sunbeams!

This jumper is worked from the top down, in the round. This gives you lots of flexibility to adapt the raglan, body and arm lengths as you go along if needed.

It is available in four sizes and designed to have 1-3 inches of positive ease. The sizes cover the average 1-6 years age range.

I used Jamiesons of Shetland Double Knitting in the following colours:

’Ivory’ (343) - 4 (5, 5, 6) x 25g balls
Plus 1 x 25g ball of each of the following shades:
’Mustard’ (425)
’Scotch Broom’ (1160)
’Flax’ (375)
’Moorit’ (108)

Tension (per 4 inches):
Stocking stitch - 23 stitches x 30 rounds
Over pattern - 24 stitches x 26 rounds
