Tips for That Wascally Wabbit Look
Bugs Bunny’s long ears are his trademark, so work them tall with light stuffing or a strand of wire inside so they stand upright with a slight playful flop at the tips. The buck teeth, two small white felt rectangles below the embroidered mouth, capture his mischievous grin perfectly. A tiny crocheted carrot in his paw turns him from a grey rabbit into the one and only Bugs.

Bugs Bunny brings instant nostalgia to Looney Tunes fans of every generation. This amigurumi makes a delightful gift for cartoon lovers, a fun Easter decoration with a clever twist, or the star of a retro character collection alongside Tweety, Daffy and Sylvester.
