Stitchwort was a buck from Nutley Copse.
Appearances[]
Stitchwort was mentioned only in the chapter “The Rabbit’s Ghost Story” in Tales from Watership Down when Coltsfoot tells his story. He, alongside Mian, Fescue, and Coltsfoot, tried to leave Nutley Copse and find a better home because they were being picked on as outskirters. Mian was soon killed by a stoat, while Stitchwort, Coltsfoot, and Fescue got lost and saw a ghost rabbit being tormented by a boy. This frightened them out of their wits and they ran back to Nutley Copse. When they returned, Stitchwort remained close friends with Coltsfoot and shared a burrow with him. He was later killed by the Efrafans that attacked Nutley Copse.
