About This Bunny Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a sweet, teardrop-shaped bunny with long posable ears. You will crochet two ears, join the second ear to start the body, then shape and close the body before attaching a crocheted bottom. It uses continuous rounds and includes clear, round-by-round instructions, finishing tips and placement notes for safety eyes and wire.

Suitable for medium sized bunnies using chunky yarn and a 4 mm hook, the pattern also explains how to adapt sizes. Techniques include continuous rounds, simple increases and decreases, and light embroidery for the mouth.

Why You'll Love This Bunny Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it creates a charming, expressive little bunny with very simple stitches. I enjoy how the design uses the second ear yarn to seamlessly start the body — it feels clever and neat when it comes together. The posable ears with wire add personality and make each bunny feel unique. I also love that it is easy to scale the size by changing yarn and hook, so you can make a whole family of bunnies.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize the bunny by changing yarn weight and hook size to make a family of different sized bunnies.

You can try pastel palette colors for a soft nursery set, or bright rainbow stripes for a playful look.

If you want a pocket-sized charm, use thin yarn and a 3 mm hook to create a tiny mini bunny for keychains.

For a large cuddly version, hold four strands of DK yarn together and use a 6 mm hook for a big, squishy bunny.

I often embroider different mouth shapes or add tiny felt blush details to change personality and expression.

Try using glass or safety eyes in different sizes to alter the look; larger eyes give a cuter, more doll-like face.

Consider making removable accessories like scarves, bows or tiny crocheted carrots to give each bunny character.

You can also stitch different ear positions before inserting wire to create perky or relaxed ear styles.

For a textured finish try using boucle or chenille yarn for a soft, fluffy surface—adjust stuffing and wire as needed.

I like to add a little bell or jingle bead inside the base for a playful touch when gifting to children (secure all small parts safely).

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not working in continuous rounds can create visible seams and misaligned stitches; always work in continuous rounds and mark the first stitch of each round. ✗ Forgetting to mark the first stitch makes counting rounds confusing; use a stitch marker at the start of every round to keep track and avoid mistakes. ✗ Stuffing the ears or overstuffing the body will change the intended shape and stiffness; do not stuff ears and stuff the body tightly but gradually to maintain shape. ✗ Skipping the long tail when finishing the bottom prevents neat sewing; leave a long end on the bottom piece for sewing the bottom to the body securely. ✗ Incorrect placement of safety eyes will affect facial expression; insert safety eyes 3 stitches apart between rounds 27-28 as instructed before finishing stuffing. ✗ Not folding and shaping the wire properly can make ears unstable; fold the wire in half and bend the ends as shown, then insert inside each ear carefully.

Assembly Instructions

  • Insert safety eyes 3 stitches apart between rounds 27-28 of the body before finishing stuffing.
  • Do not stuff the ears; fold the iron wire in half and insert the wire inside each ear for posability, then close the ear opening as directed.
  • Stuff the body tightly and sew the crocheted bottom piece to the last round of the body using the long tail left from the bottom (whipstitch or invisible stitch for a neat join).
  • For the first ear, join with a slip stitch in the first stitch and fasten off; for the second ear, do not slip stitch or fasten off because its yarn is used to start the body.
  • Embroider a small x-cross mouth between the eyes on round 28 with black DK yarn for the facial detail.

Important Notes

  • 💡Work in continuous rounds and do not join or turn unless the pattern explicitly tells you to join.
  • 💡Mark the first stitch of each round with a stitch marker to keep track of rounds and shaping.
  • 💡Do not stuff the ears; only stuff the body tightly and attach the bottom piece securely to maintain shape.
  • 💡Insert safety eyes before finishing stuffing and close the opening; place them 3 stitches apart between rounds 27-28.
  • 💡Leave a long tail on the bottom piece when finishing so you can sew it to the body neatly.
