About This Bunny Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a sweet, teardrop-shaped bunny with long ears, using continuous rounds and basic single crochet stitches. You can make three sizes by changing yarn weight and hook size for tiny keychains up to large plushies. The construction joins the second ear directly to start the body for a seamless finish. Simple finishing steps include inserting a wire into the ears for stability and embroidering a tiny mouth detail.

Why You'll Love This Bunny Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it transforms simple single crochet rounds into an irresistibly cute bunny with minimal sewing. I enjoy how quickly the shape takes form when you join the second ear to start the body — it feels like magic. The design is flexible, so I can make tiny keychain bunnies or larger cuddly versions just by swapping yarn and hook size. I also love adding a little embroidered mouth; that tiny detail brings so much personality to each bunny. Seeing the finished row of colorful bunnies always makes me smile and inspires me to create more variations.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with color changes—try striped ears or a variegated yarn for a playful look.

You can change the size by switching yarn weight and hook size: use a 3 mm hook and thin yarn for a tiny charm, or 4 strands of DK with a 6 mm hook for a jumbo bunny.

I often embroider different mouth shapes to change the expression from cute to cheeky; small changes in stitch placement make big personality differences.

Try safety eyes of different sizes or embroidered eyes for a softer, child-friendly toy without hard parts.

Use fuzzy or boucle yarn for a textured, plush bunny that feels extra cuddly and unique.

Add a tiny crocheted scarf, bow, or flower to personalize each bunny as a gift or ornament.

Consider using cotton yarn for a firmer, decorative bunny, or acrylic for an easy-care toy for kids.

I sometimes insert beads or a small bell inside the base for a playful rattle effect—make sure to secure and enclose them safely.

If you want posable ears, use a thinner gauge wire or armature wire and wrap it with a small yarn covering before inserting.

For seasonal makes, pick holiday colors or tiny accessories like an Easter egg or small pumpkin to give your bunny a themed look.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Failing to mark the first stitch of each round can cause you to lose track of rounds; place a stitch marker at the start of every round and move it up as you work. ✗ Joining or turning when the pattern instructs continuous rounds will distort shaping; work in continuous rounds and do not join or turn unless explicitly stated. ✗ Stuffing ears too tightly will make them bulky and difficult to shape; do not stuff ears — instead insert the folded wire and only stuff the body tightly for structure. ✗ Skipping the leave-long-end instruction for the bottom can make sewing the base difficult; leave a long tail on the bottom piece for neat sewing and secure attachment. ✗ Not inserting safety eyes at the correct rounds affects facial placement; insert safety eyes three stitches apart between rounds 27-28 to match the pattern photos. ✗ Pulling increases too tightly can reduce round counts and distort the shape; maintain consistent, moderate tension and count stitches after increase rounds.

Assembly Instructions

  • Insert the safety eyes 3 stitches apart between rounds 27-28 before stuffing the body and securing the eyes.
  • Do not stuff the ears; fold the 12 inch (30 cm) iron wire in half, fold the ends as pictured and insert the wire inside each ear for support.
  • Stuff the body tightly with polyester fiberfill as you go to achieve the teardrop shape, then align the bottom piece to the last round of the body and sew the bottom circle in place using the long tail left from the bottom piece.
  • For the first ear, join with a slip stitch in the first stitch and fasten off; for the second ear, do not slip stitch the first stitch and leave the yarn attached to begin the body as instructed.
  • Embroider a small x-cross mouth between the eyes on round 28 using a little Black DK yarn to finish the face.

Important Notes

  • 💡Work in continuous rounds and do not join or turn unless the pattern explicitly tells you to join.
  • 💡Place a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round to keep track of rounds and increase/decrease placements.
  • 💡Do not stuff the ears; only the body should be stuffed tightly to maintain the shape and allow the wire in the ears to function properly.
  • 💡Insert safety eyes before stuffing the body and secure them according to the manufacturer instructions for safety.
  • 💡Leave a long tail on the bottom piece when fastened off so you can sew it neatly to the body without running out of yarn.
