Notes

Vintage Rabbit closely resembles The Velveteen Rabbit. Original pattern is from Patons Knits, c. 1940’s.

Modified the head gusset color to look like the Velveteen Rabbit as illustrated.

Elected to work st st vs seed stitch.
Wrote out L and R side pieces.
Happy to share those directions with anyone.

Made pink ear inset using the ear pattern with two fewer stitches per row.
Made a crocheted ball for the yarn tail.
