Why You'll Love This Bonnie Amigurumi Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it brings a playful character to life with simple crochet techniques and a dramatic look. I enjoy the way the sculpted muzzle and felt anime eyes create a lot of personality with small details. The bow tie is a fun finishing touch that transforms the piece from cute to characterful. I also love that the pattern is modularβeach part is made separately so you can customize colors and details as you go. Seeing the head and body joined and the face completed always feels incredibly rewarding.
Switch Things Up
I love to change up the colors to create unique versions; try pastel purples or greys for a softer look.
I sometimes make a mini version by using thinner yarn and a smaller hook to create keychain-sized Bonnies.
I often replace the felt eyes with safety eyes or embroidered eyes for different textures and safety for kids.
I like to embroider small details like eyebrows or freckles to give different expressions to each character.
You can swap the cotton yarn for acrylic or worsted blends for a plusher, sturdier finished toy.
I sometimes add wire to the arms for a posable figure, wrapping the wire before stuffing for safety and shape.
I make alternative bows: a crocheted neck scarf, a felt bow, or a sewn fabric bow to match outfits.
For a spooky twist, change the eye colors and add tiny stitched teeth to create a themed character.
If you want a sturdier base, add a small disc of felt or cardboard inside the bottom before closing to help it stand upright.
I recommend trying different stuffing amounts to find the perfect firmnessβyou might prefer firmer heads and softer bodies.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
β Placing the eyes too early or unevenly will make the face look lopsided; measure the spacing accurately and place a marker between rounds 13-14 two inches apart before attaching.
β Not stuffing gradually causes lumps and uneven shaping in the head and limbs; add small amounts of stuffing frequently and shape as you go to maintain smooth curves.
β Working with loose tension can make stitches gap and stuffing show through; keep your stitches tight and consistent to hide the filling and keep details crisp.
β Skipping stitch markers when joining the legs to the body will make the join uneven; place a marker in the last stitch of the left leg to track your start and alignment for the join.
