Gift yourself with the friendship of that 14-carrot rabbit, Bugs Bunny, Or enjoy the antics of Taz, the original whirling, twirling, perpetual motion machine. If slapstick humor tickles your funny bone, then you're sure to be a fan of mischievous Syivester and wide-eyed Tweety. Special finishing touches, such as hair tufts and simple embroidery, add just-right realism to these animated favorites. The dolls range in size from 10° (25.5 cm) (Tweety) to 19” (48.5 em) (Bugs Bunny). The zany Looney Tunes pals have long been a national treasure, and now you can treasure them in crochet!
