All the harnesses at the pet store are too small for my Harrow! I want to make one. A simple H-style harness with a clip on each loop. Should be easy enough, except I think I need a new material.
Idea #1= I was gunna macrame it with paracord like those bracelets, but couldn't figure out the math. Then it was brought to my attention that it probably wouldn't be the most comfortable thing for him. If I can figure out the math, should I go for it?
Idea #2= Using a climbing sling. Probably more comfortable than macrame. But sling is nylon and therefore static. A rabbit is dynamic; each pose it gets into alters the width of its belly/curve of its back.
Idea #3= ...I don't know. The pet store harnesses were some sort of elastic that wouldn't pinch but would hold and would move with him. Ideally it would be of a similar material, but I'm stumped on what that might be. Any ideas?
I have clips & embroidery thread ready, as well as half of the sling left. I messed up measuring him and wasted half. Does anyone have a reliable way to measure rabbits, also? I just need his back, waist & neck.
Ha, and I thought this was going to be an easy project. Famous last words, right?
