A pair of cute rabbits, very popular with old and young alike!

I first sold these rabbits on my website back when I started my business in 2008, and in those days I made each one with completely different clothes. They were first knitted in light brown baby alpaca, but when this was discontinued, I re-wrote the pattern in grey, using Artesano DK and gave them a new wardrobe to boot in the gorgeous Manos Serena. So these really are very spoilt rabbits!

The exact materials requirements are as follows:

1 x 50g ball of Artesano DK shade sn41 Bonbon for the rabbit.

10gs of Manos Serena yarn in shade 6411 Red Admiral for dungarees; in shade 2445 Chalkhill Blue for the jumper; in 2020 Swallowtail for the dress and 5gs of 2609 Peony for the ears and paw pads (per rabbit.

You also need approx 20gs Organic sheeps wool stuffing; beads for eyes and an oddment of brown yarn for nose and mouth.
