Author and Crafter extraordinaire, Vicki Howell, generously offers this free pattern on how to make a Robbit (that’s right, Robbit - not Rabbit) Plushies!

You’ll need felt and fabric paint to make these cuties. I’m thinking that if you aren’t too keen on the fabric paint, you could use coloured felt pieces on the body and ears and embroider a robot-ish design on the front square as well as embroider the facial features.
These would make a great learn-to-make project for kids too. A wonderful little twist on the rabbit theme so common at Easter
