Free Knitting Pattern for Rabbit Trousers I've finally got this typed up as a free pattern for you !
It is just the instructions for the dungarees, hat and rucksack. To purchase the pattern for the rabbit go here or here

Edit: The dungarees pattern is now also available in Dutch, thanks to one of my readers Jeanette Kemp. If you would like the Dutch version the link here

As everyone stuffs their rabbit differently, the waistline for the trousers is quite generous. Test your knitting alongside your finished rabbit as you work – you may want to reduce the number of stitches in the trousers slightly.

The same goes for the hat – depending on how well you stuffed the head and where you placed the ears, you may have to adjust the number of stitches you cast on and the position of the ear slots.

The accessories are not suitable for a rabbit that is to be given to a very young child as the small parts could present a choking hazard. Dungarees for Robert and Rosie Rabbit
Suggested yarns:
The pattern uses (US - light worsted weight) (UK - double knit) (Australia - 8ply) yarn

20 grams [65 yards] light worsted/double knit/8ply yarn for dungarees
Oddments of same weight yarn for contrast pockets, hat and rucksack. (As all makes of yarn vary, this is an estimate only)
Pair of 4mm (US size 6) knitting needles
Stitch holder
Three 1cm or 1½ cm (1/2”) buttons
Shirring elastic for the waist of the trousers
cast off  = bind off in US
garter stitch = every row knit
K = knit
K1,P1 rib = knit the 1st stitch, purl the 2nd, repeat these two stitches to the end of the row
K2tog = knit two stitches together
P2tog = purl two stitches together
st(s) = stitch(es)
stocking  st =  1 row knit, 1 row purl (this is stockinette in US)
yfwd = yarn forward (bring yarn to the front between your two needles, then take the yarn over the top of the needles so that a new stitch is formed)
[   ] = work the instructions in the brackets by the number of times indicated
Gauge (Tension)
Tension is not important for these items, but if you like to know, it should be about 22sts and 44 rows to 10x10cm (4x4”) square in stocking stitch on 4mm (US Size 6) needles

Work 4 rows stocking st. Cut yarn.

Place  these stitches and the ones from the holder back onto one needle.
Rejoin yarn and knit across all 45sts. Sew together from the waist to the crotch. Next sew the inside leg seams, working from the base of one leg through the crotch, to the base of the other leg.
Turn right way out. Sew the straps to the back.
Run a row of shirring elastic through the ribbing at the waist and draw up a little. (Make sure they can still be taken on and off easily!) Attach the two pockets to the front and two buttons to the top of the bib. With right sides together, sew the side seams. Sew the two ends of each strap together to make two loops. Secure both loops to the back of the backpack. Attach a button to the front. Sew the back seam. Sew in loose ends. Make a pom-pom and attach.
To make such a small pom-pom, first cut the piece of yarn that secures all the strands and tape it to a marker pen. Wind yarn round and round the pen. When you have wound enough yarn, un-tape the horizontal piece of yarn and tie in a tight knot around the wound on yarn. Cut through the wound yarn, fluff up the pom-pom and trim to a nice shape. I hope your rabbit loves his new clothes!
