About This Bunny with Colorful Ears Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a plush amigurumi bunny with extra-long colorful ears and a decorative bow. You will crochet the body and head as one piece and make separate legs, arms, ears, tail and bow.

Why You'll Love This Bunny with Colorful Ears Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple stitches into a charming, tactile soft toy that kids and adults adore. I enjoy the combination of working in rounds for a classic amigurumi shape and turning-row ear pieces for a uniquely shaped ear. The plush yarn yields an irresistibly soft finish that makes this bunny great to cuddle. I also love how small details — like the cinched muzzle and bright bow — give the bunny so much personality and character.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to change the bunny's personality by switching yarn colors; try pastel shades for a nursery-friendly version or bold colors for a playful look.

You can scale the whole project by choosing a different yarn weight and hook size — bulky yarn with a larger hook will give you a chunky cuddle buddy, while sport or DK weight yarn makes a dainty keepsake.

I often embroider different facial expressions — move the eyes closer or further apart, or change the eyebrow angle to make a surprised or sleepy face.

Swap the glitter safety eyes for embroidered eyes if you need the toy to be safer for very young children.

Try varying the ear length and inner ear shape to design different breeds of bunnies or fantasy creatures; longer ears give a whimsical look, shorter ears feel more classic.

Add small crocheted accessories like a tiny scarf, hat, or a knitted basket to create a seasonal set for holidays or birthdays.

For a posable version, consider threading wire inside the arms or legs before stuffing, but take care to anchor wire ends safely inside the body so they are not exposed.

I sometimes mix yarn textures — use a fuzzy plush body yarn but a smooth cotton for the bow and belly button to create contrast and make details pop.

You can make a matching family by changing the size and color for a mama, papa and baby set — adjust stitch counts and yarn to scale each size proportionally.

If you want extra stability for display, sew a small felt base inside the feet or add safety pellets to the bottom of the body to help the bunny sit upright.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers during shaping will make it hard to maintain symmetry; place a marker at key points and after decreasing/increasing sections to stay aligned. ✗ Understuffing or overstuffing body sections causes poor shaping and wobbliness; stuff gradually and firmly where needed, especially the neck between R26 and R27. ✗ Changing colors without securing ends properly leads to loose joins or unraveling; weave in ends and carry or fasten off neatly when switching from pink to cream. ✗ Forgetting to count stitches regularly results in uneven rounds and mismatched shaping; count at the end of each round and mark repeats to ensure correct stitch counts. ✗ Not stuffing the neck area enough will make the head wobble after assembly; stuff the neck firmly between R26 and R27 to stabilize the head.

— Assembling and Decorating :

Info :

Cinch the muzzle: Use the cream yarn for cinching. Insert the needle at the base of the muzzle, in between R26 and R27 (at Point 1, where we did 12 dec and 12 inc) and exit near the left eye (Point 2). Skip 1-2 sc and again insert the needle (Point 3) and back to the starting point (Point 1). Skip 1 sc to secure the end. Repeat for the second eye socket (insert the needle in Point, then 5, and go back to Point 1). Repeat if necessary. After cinching, weave in the ends.

Info :

Using the black embroidery thread, sew the brows and the line from the nose to the mouth (place of cinching in Point 1).

Info :

Attach the nose with glue.

Info :

Sew the hands in between R26 and 27.

Info :

Sew the legs precisely under the arms in R7.

Info :

Place the ears onto the head, choose the position you like most, sew. I sew on the top of the head, with 4-5 sc in between.

Info :

Sew the bow near the ear.

Info :

Sew the belly button with the bright pink yarn (the same color as the bow).

Info :

Your bunny is ready!

Assembly Instructions

  • Cinch the muzzle using cream yarn: insert needle between R26 and R27 (Point 1), exit near left eye (Point 2), skip 1-2 sc, insert again (Point 3) and return to Point 1; repeat symmetrically for second eye and weave in ends.
  • Attach the glitter safety eyes between rounds R35 and R36, approximately 7-8 stitches apart, using the belly marker as a vertical guide; secure and hide washers inside the head.
  • Sew hands into the body between rounds R26 and R27, positioning them slightly forward and symmetrical on both sides.
  • Sew legs under the arms at round R7, spacing them evenly so the bunny sits balanced; secure firmly with a needle and yarn.
  • Place and sew ears on top of the head with 4-5 sc between them, matching the pink inner ear to the cream outer ear; sew through both layers as instructed.
  • Attach the nose with craft glue, embroider brows and the line from nose to mouth with black embroidery thread, then sew the bow near one ear and the bright pink belly button centered on the belly.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers to mark the center of the belly and important shaping points to help with eye placement and assembly.
  • 💡Stuff firmly but not excessively, especially the neck between R26 and R27 to prevent the head from wobbling after cinching.
  • 💡When changing yarn colors (pink to cream), secure ends and weave them in to prevent fuzz and loose stitches in the plush yarn.
  • 💡Work decreases and increases carefully and count stitches each round to maintain correct shaping and symmetry.
  • 💡Sew and pin parts in place before final stitching to check positioning and adjust placement as needed.

This charming plush bunny makes a thoughtful handmade gift or a cozy nursery companion. The long colorful ears and bright bow add playful character, while the soft plush yarn keeps it cuddly and baby-friendly. Finish with embroidered details and a glued nose for a delightful, personalized touch. 🧶💕
