About This Bunny Amigurumi Pattern
This pattern creates a soft, plush bunny amigurumi worked mainly in single crochet and half double crochet using velvet/plush yarn. You will make separate hind paws, front paws, ears and body pieces then assemble them into a charming bunny. The design emphasizes a no-hole canvas technique for a neat finish and uses simple shaping for a cuddly shape.
Ideal for beginners, the pattern includes clear round-by-round stitch counts and helpful photo cues. The finished bunny measures approximately 12 inches tall with long floppy ears.
Why You'll Love This Bunny Amigurumi Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it turns soft plush yarn into a wonderfully tactile, huggable bunny. I enjoy the simple shaping that still creates a professional-looking toy without complicated techniques. The large ears and rounded paws give so much charm and personality to each finished piece. Working with velvet yarn is relaxing and each stitch looks plush and luxurious, which makes every bunny feel special.
Switch Things Up
I love customizing this bunny by changing yarn colors; try pastel shades for a nursery or bold colors for a playful gift.
I often vary the ear length by adding or subtracting rounds to create short or long-eared versions.
If you want a smaller bunny, use thinner yarn and a smaller hook; for a chunky cuddly version, use bulky yarn and a larger hook.
I like to embroider different facial expressions with contrasting yarn to give each bunny its own personality.
Try adding tiny crocheted accessories like a scarf, bow, or mini hat to personalize your bunny for holidays or special occasions.
I sometimes add a little weighted filler in the base for a more stable seated pose if the bunny will be used as decor.
Consider using safety joints for the limbs if you want posable arms and legs for play-friendly toys.
I recommend experimenting with placement of the eyes and muzzle before fastening them permanently to adjust expression and balance.
For a washable toy, attach felt features with thread instead of safety eyes, and make sure all attachments are secure.
I also enjoy making a whole family of bunnies in coordinating colors and sizes — it makes a sweet set for gifting.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Skipping stitch markers when working spirals can make it hard to find the row start; place a marker in the first stitch of each row and move it after completing each round.
✗ Crocheting single crochet too tightly on plush yarn can create holes or distort the texture; relax your tension and pull the working loop up to the hook level as instructed to keep a smooth canvas.
✗ Overstuffing the paws or body makes the shape bulky and distorts seams; stuff gradually and evenly, using small amounts at a time to maintain natural shaping.
✗ Forgetting to count increases and decreases leads to incorrect stitch counts; always count stitches after each increase or decrease round to ensure the correct total.
