Finishing:
Felt all pieces, preferably by hand. Stuff the rabbit and sew the small opening shut. (If you hand felt, you’ll probably still have an opening. You may run into trouble if you use the washing machine; but who knows. Experiment!)
Fold the ears at the bases and secure with a stitch. Sew on the ears where the neck begins to form.
Needle-felt details using the white, pink, and brown roving. To make a cute little cottontail (wooly-tail?) make a small ball with the white. Gently attach it to the bunny’s bottom. I really only felted it around the edges, keeping the center puffy and fuzzy.
