General Crochet Tips:
You can use any yarn to make the rabbit; it’s your choice. Thicker yarn will require more material.
You can make the rabbit without a sweater, or make the sweater removable. In that case, keep the body and legs in the main color.
You can omit the sweater pattern or use any pattern with a 6 or 9-stitch repeat.
All parts are crocheted in a spiral, no turning chains or slip stitches are used.
Note that slip stitches should not be too tight.
Choose an appropriate hook size to achieve the right tension; there should be no gaps between stitches, but don’t crochet too tightly.
The turning chain is not used in this pattern.
Use good stuffing to prevent lumps and bumps in the toy.
Other Notes:
The toy is crocheted with the right side facing out.
To change yarn color, work the last SC of the old color until there are 2 loops on the hook, then complete the stitch with the new color.
Make sure to secure the eyes either with safety backs (if using safety eyes) or by stitching over the marked loops in Round 14.

Sew the head to the body, attach the ears symmetrically, and attach the tail a couple of rows below the sweater.
You can use various decorations for the sweater, such as sequins, beads, or other embellishments.
