Instructions:
1. Print out the pattern to a size that you would like to use.
2. Make a cardboard pattern as directed in the pattern instructions below.
3. Cut out 2 pieces of the cotton material and lay them with the right sides facing.
4. Lay the pattern on the material and pin together.
5. Trace the pattern onto the material with a trick marker and cut the pattern out with a 5 mm seam allowance.
6. Sew on the lines of the pattern leaving an opening at the bottom of the bunny. This will be for turning.
8. Cut material back to about a 5mm seam allowance. Clip into the inside curves so that it will lay flatter.
9. Turn the figure inside out through the opening and poke all corners out and ends out with a crochet hook. Stuff the figure almost firm.
10. Hand stitch the opening closed using a slip stitch. This stitch is invisible when sewn.
11. Apply craft glue to one end of the dowel and insert it gently through the stitching on the bottom of the bunny. Let the glue dry.
12. Arrange several layers of raffia and tie off at the center. Use a hot glue gun and glue this to a long wooden dowel just under the rabbit.
