Frequently Asked Questions
What thickness of felt works best for this pattern?
For small soft toys like this rabbit, felt with a thickness of around 2 mm gives the nicest result. Thin felt keeps the edges smooth and flexible, so the curves of the rabbit look neat and even. Thicker felt can also work, but may feel too stiff for delicate shapes.
How can the rabbit be decorated if there are no embroidery skills?
There are many beginner-friendly options. Paillettes, tiny beads, fabric markers, acrylic paint, ribbon bows, felt appliqué pieces or small cotton patches can all make lovely details without any embroidery. These additions keep the project simple but still give the rabbit character.
Can the pattern be resized?
Yes, the pattern can be reduced or enlarged by adjusting the print scale. Setting the printer to 80 percent, 50 percent or any custom size will shrink the template proportionally. Enlarging works the same way, so the rabbit can be made tiny for ornaments or bigger for soft play pieces.

Hey Hanna,
What a sweet and generous pattern—thank you for sharing it!
I’m planning to make a whole basket of these for my niece’s Easter table.
Could you tell me, do you usually attach the eyes before stuffing the bunny, or after the head is fully shaped? I’m trying to understand which method gives a cleaner result.
Thank you.
There are actually two ways to do it. If I’m attaching both eyes, then I always sew them on after stuffing, the shape is already formed, and it’s much easier to place them evenly.
But if I’m adding only one eye (like in this project, my bunny is one-sided since it’s meant as a decoration, not a toy), then I sew that eye before stuffing. That way it sits perfectly on the flat piece.
