About This Bunny in Carrot Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern makes a small amigurumi bunny that fits snugly inside a plush carrot case. The project uses two yarn types (cotton for the bunny and plush for the carrot) to create contrasting textures. Clear round-by-round instructions and photos are provided to guide you through shaping and assembly.

Why You'll Love This Bunny in Carrot Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines a cute character with a playful, practical accessory — the carrot case. I enjoy how the plush yarn transforms the carrot into a soft, tactile pocket while the cotton yarn keeps the bunny crisp and defined. I find the step-by-step rounds make the build-up of the toy very satisfying to crochet. Sharing this pattern makes me smile because it becomes a heartfelt little gift that is quick to make and delightful to give.

Switch Things Up

I love how versatile this pattern is for customization — you can change yarn colors to create a variety of characters and moods.

I often swap the yellow for pastel shades to make a softer, baby-friendly bunny, or choose bright colors for a playful look.

If you want a larger or smaller version, change your yarn weight and hook size; bulky yarn with a bigger hook yields a chunkier toy while sport or fingering weight makes a tiny keychain buddy.

I sometimes embroider extra facial expressions or add tiny felt cheeks and different buttons to personalize each piece.

Try adding a tiny crocheted scarf or hat to the bunny for seasonal variations — I make holiday outfits to match occasions.

For a posable toy, consider adding a short wire inside the ears or limbs, but be careful if making for small children.

You can transform the carrot into a small pouch by enlarging the opening and adding a snap or zipper; it makes a cute gift container.

Swap the button for a decorative charm or safety lock button if the toy is for a toddler, always prioritizing safety.

I like to experiment with different textures — pair a fuzzy plush carrot with a smooth cotton bunny or use boucle yarn for a quirky look.

Finally, make a whole family of bunnies in different colors and sizes — they make adorable sets for gifting and displays.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the instruction to insert safety eyes between rounds 8 and 9 will misplace the eyes; insert safety eyes exactly between rounds 8 and 9 with 5 stitches between to keep symmetry. ✗ Overstuffing the head or body can distort shaping and make sewing difficult; stuff gradually and firmly but not excessively to maintain round shapes and allow sewing. ✗ Crocheting with loose tension can cause stuffing to show through plush yarn or leave gaps; maintain a tight, consistent tension to prevent stuffing from sticking out. ✗ Forgetting to leave long tails for sewing will make assembly harder; always leave a long tail (about 15 cm) after fastening off for secure sewing and attachment of parts.

Assembly Instructions

  • Insert safety eyes between rounds 8 and 9 of the head with 5 stitches in between, or sew eyes after crocheting the head if preferred.
  • Sew the head to the body by matching round 13 of the head to the stitches from round 11 of the body; fill the body and neck strongly and sew twice to prevent the head from dangling.
  • Sew arms to the body between rounds 10 and 11, positioning them slightly forward for a natural pose and sewing securely.
  • Sew legs to the body between rounds 3 and 4, ensuring symmetry and threading the needle through the same points to keep limbs flexible.
  • Sew the tail to the body between rounds 2 and 5, then sew the belly between rounds 3 and 11 of the body for correct placement.
  • Attach ears to the top of the head and make a couple of stitches to secure them together, then sew the muzzle between rounds 8 and 13 and stuff slightly during sewing.
  • Sew the carrot buttonhole edges and attach the green leaves to the round 24 join; sew the button in the middle of the carrot between rounds 13 and 14.

Important Notes

  • 💡All pieces are worked in a spiral continuously; do not end the round with a slip stitch or start a round with a chain unless specified.
  • 💡Begin pieces from a magic ring or ch2 and work the necessary sc in the second stitch from the hook as an alternative.
  • 💡Crochet tight enough to prevent stuffing from sticking out; adjust tension if using different yarn weights or hook sizes.
  • 💡Insert safety eyes when indicated (between rounds 8 and 9) and leave long tails for sewing to ensure easy assembly and secure attachments.
