This pattern guides you through crocheting a plush chenille bunny amigurumi with a cute muzzle, floppy ears and a bobtail. It includes step-by-step rounds for all pieces and clear assembly notes to help you attach parts accurately. The finished doll measures approximately 35 cm tall when made with the recommended materials.

Worked in continuous spiral rounds using US terms, this design uses chenille yarn for an ultra-soft texture. You will also make small accessories like a bow, hair tuft and felt eyes to finish the face.

Why You'll Love This Bunny Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because the chenille yarn gives the bunny a plush, irresistible texture that feels cozy to hold. I designed the shaping to be fun and satisfying — you can see the character appear round by round. The pattern lets me add little personality touches like the bow and muzzle which always make each bunny unique. I enjoy how the assembly comes together; sewing the pieces in place is the most rewarding step for me.

Switch Things Up

I love customizing this pattern by changing colors and small details to give each bunny its own personality.

You can swap the yellow chenille for pastel shades to make a nursery-friendly version or bright tones for a playful look.

Make a mini version by using a lighter yarn and smaller hook for a keychain or zipper charm.

I often modify the bow color or make a scarf to give the bunny seasonal outfits and extra charm.

Try embroidering different facial expressions — a slightly angled mouth or different felt eye shapes changes the whole mood of the toy.

For a posable version, consider inserting thin wire into the arms before stuffing so they can be positioned.

I sometimes add a weighted pellet bag to the bottom for stability if the bunny is top-heavy from a large head.

Use contrasting inner-ear colors or stripes to make each ear really pop and create visual interest.

If you want a sturdier finish, hand-stitch the felt eyes and details rather than gluing them, especially for toys for older children.

I also recommend experimenting with different stuffing levels — slightly firmer for a more sculpted look, lighter for a cuddly plush feel.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers during seam joins makes alignment difficult; mark your starting point and key joining stitches to keep parts symmetrical and aligned. ✗ Stuffing too tightly will distort the plush texture and make seams stand out; stuff gradually and evenly to maintain the soft chenille look. ✗ Changing colors without securing tails neatly results in messy finishes; weave in color change ends as you go or leave long tails for sewing to hide them inside seams. ✗ Forgetting to count stitches after increases or decreases causes shape errors; count your stitches at the end of each round and adjust immediately if the count is off. ✗ Using a larger hook than recommended will make the amigurumi floppy and larger than intended; use the specified 6 mm hook for chenille yarn and a 2.5 mm hook for the cotton nose to match gauge.

  • Sew the belly on the body over rounds 16-33, centering it on the front and using small whipstitches to secure it flat and smooth.
  • Sew the ears to the head at rounds 47-51, folding each ear in half and matching the seam so they sit symmetrically on top of the head.
  • Sew the bow next to the ears, then sew the hair close to the bow using the long tails left from each piece to stitch them securely.
  • Sew the mouth to the head aligning it over rounds 35-42 and stitch the muzzle edges to sit flush with the face.
  • Sew the tail to the back of the body over rounds 15-18 and secure it firmly so it holds its shape.
  • Use hot glue to attach the felt eyes to the face, positioning them inside the muzzle area and leaving space for the muzzle and nose details.

Important Notes

  • 💡Work with even tension and stuff gradually to keep the chenille yarn soft and the shape smooth.
  • 💡Leave long tails when cutting pieces to make sewing parts together easier and more secure.
  • 💡Place a marker at the start of rounds when joining or changing shaping to keep track of your position.
