Why You'll Love This Bunny Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple single crochet rounds into a sweet, characterful bunny. I enjoy how a small change in yarn weight or hook size can make three very different sizes from the same instructions. The wired ears let me pose each bunny so they feel unique and playful. I also love that the pattern is photo-illustrated and written in full, which gives me confidence to share it with others.

Switch Things Up

I love customizing these bunnies by changing yarn weight and hook size to make an entire family of different-sized friends.

I often use thinner yarn and a smaller hook to create tiny keychain bunnies, perfect as gift toppers or party favors.

For a chunky, cozy version I crochet with bulky yarn and a larger hook so the bunny becomes a soft pillow-like companion.

Try using variegated yarn or self-striping yarn for playful color transitions across the body and ears.

I like to embroider different mouth shapes or add tiny felt cheeks to give each bunny a unique expression.

You can swap safety eyes for embroidered eyes for a fully baby-safe toy or to achieve a softer look.

Embedding a small bell or a lavender sachet inside the stuffing makes a lovely scented keepsake or baby comforter.

Dress your bunny with a crocheted scarf, tiny bow, or a miniature hat to personalize it for a recipient.

I sometimes wrap the wire inside a thin yarn tube before inserting it into the ear to prevent any sharp edges from poking through.

Combine textures: pair a fluffy boucle yarn for the body with smooth yarn for the ears to create contrast and tactile interest.

Make a matching set by changing only the eyes or mouth embroidery style so the bunnies read as a family with subtle differences.

Consider stuffing density: a firmer stuffing gives stability for standing bunnies, while softer stuffing makes them squishier and cuddlier.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the instruction to work in continuous rounds causes visible seams and misaligned stitches; always work without joining or turning and mark your first stitch. ✗ Forgetting to leave the second ear unfastened prevents starting the body from the ear yarn; do not fasten off the second ear so you can continue into the body. ✗ Stuffing the ears will make them too bulky and ruin the wired shaping; do not stuff ears and insert wire instead as instructed. ✗ Not inserting safety eyes before stuffing can make placement difficult; place eyes between rounds 27 and 28 while the body is still open and only then stuff firmly. ✗ Pulling yarn too tightly when embroidering the mouth will pucker the fabric; embroider gently with a small amount of tension and check placement before securing. ✗ Ignoring stitch counts during increases/decreases leads to uneven shaping; count stitches after each increase or decrease round to maintain the correct shape.

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach the bottom piece to the last round of the body by aligning the bottom's edge with the body opening and sew with the long tail left from round 5 of the bottom.
  • Insert safety eyes 3 stitches apart between rounds 27 and 28 before stuffing the body to ensure correct placement and symmetry.
  • Do not stuff the ears; fold the iron wire in half, shape as long as each ear, and insert the wire inside each ear for support and poseability.
  • Stuff the body tightly with polyester fiberfill before sewing the bottom piece on to maintain the teardrop shape and stability.
  • Use the yarn tail from the second ear to join and begin the body, and fasten off and weave in ends after the final slip stitch on round 27.

Important Notes

  • 💡Work in continuous rounds; do not join or turn unless a round specifically tells you to do so.
  • 💡Mark the first stitch of each round with a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds and prevent mistakes.
  • 💡Do not stuff the ears; insert the folded wire into the ears for shape and poseability as instructed.
  • 💡Insert safety eyes before stuffing and closing the body so placement is accurate and easy to complete.
