About This Bunny Garland Pattern
This pattern teaches you how to crochet tiny bunny motifs and join them into a charming garland perfect for nurseries or seasonal displays. Each bunny is quick to make and uses small amounts of cotton yarn to create a delicate, lightweight banner. The pattern includes step-by-step instructions, clear photos, and guidance for attaching a cord and pompoms.
Ideal for beginners, this design uses simple stitches like double crochet and treble crochet to form the bunny shape. Make as many bunnies as you wish and customize spacing or colors to suit your project.
Why You'll Love This Bunny Garland Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it turns a few basic stitches into a delightful, whimsical decoration that brightens any room. I enjoy how quick each bunny works up — they are satisfying small projects that build up into a beautiful garland. I also love that it uses tiny amounts of yarn, so you can use scraps and experiment with colors. The steps are straightforward and photo-guided, which makes it easy for me to relax and enjoy the process while creating something charming.
Switch Things Up
I love customizing this garland by changing yarn colors; try pastel shades for a soft nursery look or bright colors for a party vibe.
You can make the bunnies bigger or smaller by switching yarn weight and hook size; bulky yarn with a larger hook creates chunky bunnies, while fine yarn makes delicate minis.
I often replace the pompom tails with small buttons or embroidered tails to add texture and personality.
Swap the cord color to match seasonal themes — green for spring, red for festive decor, or neutral tones for everyday use.
I sometimes vary spacing between motifs: reduce the chain count for tightly grouped bunnies or increase chains to create a spaced-out banner.
Try alternating two or three colors for the bunnies to create a patterned garland with repeating color sequences.
I also like to add small crocheted flowers or leaves between bunnies for a floral garland twist that suits springtime decor.
For a more durable hanging, I occasionally braid three strands of yarn for the cord instead of a simple chain for extra strength and visual interest.
If I want to make a mobile, I shorten the cord pieces and attach bunnies to a wooden hoop or branch for a cute hanging display.
I recommend experimenting with different pompom sizes or materials — felted balls give a cozy look while yarn pompoms keep everything soft and cohesive.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Skipping the magic ring tightening step can leave a hole in the center of the bunny; pull the thread firmly to close the ring before joining with a slip stitch.
✗ Not counting the double crochets in the second round leads to uneven circles; make sure you have 24 stitches after Row 2 by counting each Dc carefully.
✗ Placing the ears in the wrong treble crochet positions will create an asymmetrical head; reference the 3rd and 5th Tc placement and mark them if needed.
✗ Attaching the cord too tightly distorts the bunny shapes and pulls them inward; slip stitch loosely over the neck area and adjust tension for a flat look.
