“I’m late! I’m late!” – the frantic White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, with goggling clay eyes, a big red nose, buck teeth, long wired ears, a tall black top hat, a tail-coat with a lace collar and a pocket watch on a chain. A wire frame inside lets him run, jump and pose – a funny, eye-catching toy for every Wonderland fan.
A crochet pattern by Svetlana Pertseva with step-by-step instructions and photos (28 pages). The eyes, teeth and nose are modelled from polymer clay (explained in the pattern).

• Dark yarn for the top hat and the tail-coat, crocheting to the same gauge as the main yarn.
• Crochet hook 1.5 mm (approx. US steel 8, UK steel 4½).
• Pink or red polymer clay for the nose, white polymer clay for the teeth and eye whites, and two black, red or brown half beads (5 mm) for the pupils.
• Single-core copper electrical wire for the frame – about 200 cm, 1 mm in diameter – and fabric tape for the wire ends.
• Fishing line for the whiskers, lace for the collar (about 60 cm), stuffing, transparent glue, a tapestry needle and strong thread for sculpting.
• Any tinting material (oil pastels, acrylic paints, etc.) in dark grey and pink; Velcro or a brush to brush up the toy (optional).
