Keks is a cool, laid-back rabbit dude: a big squashy muzzle with a pink nose and buck teeth, sleepy eyes, extra-long striped ears and very long striped arms and legs that tie into any pose. Knitted in soft velour yarn he is about 55 cm tall – 85 cm with his ears – a hilarious, huggable friend.

The KNITTED version of Svetlana Pertseva’s famous crochet rabbit Keks (crochet pattern 121), with detailed step-by-step instructions and photos (35 pages). The face is shaped with needle sculpting.
