When I looked for ideas to stitch the face on a toy rabbit, I couldn’t find a great reference. So, I made a collection of designs for rabbit faces on embroidery and soft toys.
The designs are all intended for embroidery stitches – so the focus is on simple lines and expression. I found that the mouth was the key feature – a few simple variations could create faces that were happy, sad, worried, stunned or just plain sweet.
Here’s a rabbit using one of these designs. He has a deliberately crooked mouth – I think it looks kinda cheeky, don’t you?

A rabbit with intent, for sure.
