Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this Bunny by changing colors; try pastel shades for a nursery or bold tones for a modern look.

I sometimes make mini versions by using thinner yarn and a smaller hook to create keychain-sized bunnies.

I also experiment with larger hooks and bulky yarn for a chunky, super-snuggly version that becomes a pillow friend.

I often embroider different facial expressions — a small smile, a surprised mouth, or sleepy eyes — to change the bunny's personality.

I add tiny crocheted accessories like bows, scarves, or a tiny carrot to give each bunny a unique story.

I recommend swapping safety eyes for embroidered eyes for a fully baby-safe toy option that is perfect for infants.

I sometimes alter ear length and curvature to create floppy-eared or perky-eared versions depending on the character I want.

I like to use contrast yarn for paw pads and muzzle details, adding subtle stitched lines to define shape and texture.

I experiment with different stuffing amounts to make some bunnies firm and poseable or very squishy and cuddly.

I also combine textures by using plush yarn for the body and a smooth cotton for small accessories to make an eye-catching contrast.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers during rounds can easily throw off your stitch counts; place a marker at the first stitch of each round and move it after completing the round. ✗ Not stuffing consistently leads to lumpy or misshapen paws and body; stuff gradually and check symmetry by comparing both pieces as you go. ✗ Working too tightly with plush yarn makes it difficult to insert the hook and can distort loops; relax your tension slightly and practice pulling the working loop to hook level when crocheting SC. ✗ Cutting tails too short before sewing leaves you without enough yarn for a secure join; leave a long tail for sewing and weave in ends after assembly. ✗ Ignoring the instruction to rearrange the marker each row will cause uneven shaping; always move the marker to the 1st stitch of each subsequent row as directed.

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach the hind paws to the bottom sides of the body, spacing them evenly so the bunny sits stable; use the long tails and a yarn needle to sew with a ladder or whip stitch through the folded edge.
  • Position and sew the front paws on the body between the lower third and middle section, angling slightly forward for a natural pose and secure with back-and-forth stitches.
  • Pin the ears to the top of the head (centered on the crown), fold the ears as instructed and sew along the folded edge to attach firmly, trimming any excess yarn.
  • Insert safety eyes before closing the head (place between the appropriate rows for desired expression), then embroider the muzzle and nose using contrast yarn and a plastic needle for secure detailing.
  • Sew the body to the head using the long tail of the body or head piece, matching the center back and sewing evenly around to create a smooth neck join.

Important Notes

  • 💡Gauge: 16 stitches and 13 rows = 4*4 inches (10*10 cm) — check your gauge and adjust hook size if necessary.
  • 💡When crocheting single crochet with plush yarn, pull the working loop to the level of the hook to avoid holes in the fabric.
  • 💡Place the marker in the first stitch of each round and move it each row to keep consistent shaping and avoid lost stitch counts.
  • 💡Stuff pieces evenly and compare both matching parts (left/right) as you go to maintain symmetry and balanced weight.
  • 💡Use long tails for sewing and weave in ends securely; cutting tails too short will make assembly more difficult.
