Four of the wackiest, wildest Looney Tunes characters are now dolls you can crochet in worsted weight yarn! Gift yourself with the friendship of that 14-carrot rabbit, Bugs Bunny. Or enjoy the antics of Taz, the original whirling, twirling, perpetual motion ™achine. If slapstick humor tickles your funny bone, then you're sure to be a fan of mischievous Sylvester and wide-eyed Tweety. Special finishing touches, such as hair tufts and simple embroidery, add justright realism to these animated favorites.
