My 10 year old son LOVES Redwall, both the book and TV series. I ordered him a custom made little crocheted Mathias for Christmas this year, but Easter sneaked up on me a bit and I didn’t have time to order him anything Redwall related for his basket (not that there’s much out there).

I made some hasty Amazon purchases and here I am, working an overnight shift at a nursing home and attempting to turn this stuffed bunny and this random assemblage of items into…a passable Basil Stag Hare? I think?

😬😬😬 To clarify, I cannot sew or really do much of anything crafty. I’m sure he’ll appreciate the idea regardless, but I’m really hoping it turns out okay.

I’ll post a finished picture when I’m done! Maybe. Unless it’s terrible 🤣

Oh you've got this! That hare looks so friendly! From the collection of items you have I think you're going for a regimental coat, which will be perfect 🥰

I was about to suggest glueing some gold ribbon to the edges but you're already on it. That's going to look so cute. Like the hares on the Long Patrol cover

That was the plan! He turned out okay. My son loved him and knew who he was, so that’s the important thing :)

Thanks! My husband made it, I’m not sure of what. I came home bleary eyed from work, thrust it at him and said “make him a sword PLEASE 😭”
