YOU WILL NEED(hare size: approx. 22 x 14 cm):
• woolen fabric or woolen knitted fabric (you can use old, slightly rolled-up woolen things - for example, a checkered plaid or pullover); • material for filling (for example, wool or polyester wool, more convenient for washing); • matching sewing thread and black embroidery thread; • needle for embroidery with a wide eye; • a small white pompom; • tracing paper and pencil; • tailor's chalk or marker on the fabric; • optional dry lavender flowers.

MANUFACTURE AND PATTERNING
Draw on the tracing paper the simple shape of a hare (see photo at the top right). The height of our hare from the tips of the ears to the soles is 22 cm. Of course, you can give your hare its own, individual features, for example, longer ears. But the form should not be too complicated.
You can use different fabrics for the front and back of the hare.
Cut out the pattern and lay on the wrong side of the fabric, circle the contours with a marker on the fabric. Cut the part with allowances 1.5 cm wide. Cut the other part of the hare symmetrically.
SEWING
Fold the front and back sides of the hare with the front sides.Stitch the details along the contours on the sewing machine with small straight stitches, leaving a small area open in the seam (side cuts of the head) for twisting and filling with cotton (see photo in the upper middle). Cut the seam allowances to a width of approx. 5 mm, in the rounding sections, make notches.
Turn out the hare using a wooden stick. Fill the feet and ears with cotton, then the torso. To do this, use alternately cotton wool for filling and dry lavender flowers (or other aromatic additives). Sew the open area of ​​the seam with fine hand stitches.
FINISH
Sew a pompom on the back of the hare as a tail. Embroider the muzzle using thread and an embroidery needle (see photo above left). Wrap the neck and the bases of the ears with thread in several turns, tie the ends of the threads and tuck inward. Along the base of the hands, stitch the “forward needle” along the shape of the trunk from the seam stitches. Sew the front legs, if desired, with a few stitches, put a small cloth carrot, a gift box or a felt flower in the paws.
