Easily recognizable by their typical color pattern, Dutch rabbits were once the most popular pet breed. Dwarf rabbits eventually took the crown from them, but they still remain in the top ten.

Difficulty
This pattern is suitable for intermediate to advanced level crocheters who are confident with basic stitches (sl st, sc) and frequently used amigurumi techniques (magic ring, invisible decrease, working in FLO). While only simple stitches are used, the combination of shaping and color changes requires attention.

The pattern is written in English using US crochet terminology (UK/Aus equivalents provided). It contains many in-progress photos, but also includes a text-only appendix for easy printing, if you prefer working from a printed pattern but want to save ink and paper.

Finished amigurumi made from this pattern are yours to keep or gift or sell, I only ask you to credit me as the designer in case you decide to sell them.
