About This Bunny with Colorful Ears Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern makes a soft, plush amigurumi bunny with colorful inner ears and a matching bow. You will crochet the body and head in one piece, then make legs, arms, ears, a tail and a bow before assembling. Photographs and clear shaping notes help you place eyes and cinch the muzzle for a sweet face.

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

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines soft, tactile yarn with a playful design that kids adore. I enjoy the way the colorful ear inserts add instant personality to the bunny, and the bow is a cute finishing touch I always look forward to making. The construction of the body and head as one piece makes assembly neat and stable, which makes finishing satisfying. I also love that the pattern includes clear placement guidance for eyes and cinching so you can create gentle facial expressions easily.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this bunny: swap the inner ear color to mint, lavender, or a patterned yarn to create a whole family of unique friends.

You can change the yarn weight and hook size to create different sizes — a thinner yarn and smaller hook makes a tiny keychain, while a bulkier yarn makes a chunky cuddle buddy.

I often replace the safety eyes with embroidered eyes for a child-safe toy, using satin stitch and careful placement to keep the expression sweet.

Try adding tiny clothes or a removable scarf to personalize the bunny for seasons or holidays; a little crochet hat or sweater adds instant charm.

For extra poseability, consider inserting a thin wire into the arms before stuffing to gently bend them into hugs or playful poses.

I sometimes embroider freckles or a smile to change the bunny's personality — small facial tweaks really alter the expression.

Make the bow detachable by sewing a small snap or by wrapping the band so it can be removed and swapped with other accessories.

Experiment with gradient or ombre yarn for the ears or feet to give a subtle color transition that looks professional and unique.

If you prefer a firmer toy, use tighter tension and slightly less stuffing; for a softer cuddle friend, go lighter on tension and add more plush filling.

I also like to create sets (bunny plus mini blanket) by matching yarn colors across pieces — it makes a lovely gift set that feels curated.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers at the center belly can make eye placement confusing; place a marker between the 3rd and 4th decrease to guide eye placement. ✗ Forgetting to stuff the neck area firmly causes a wobbly head later; stuff the neck well between R26 and R27 for a stable attachment. ✗ Not keeping consistent tension when switching from plush pink to cream can create visible ridges; maintain steady tension and use the back loop change recommended. ✗ Fastening off the cream ear piece too early makes joining the pink inner piece awkward; do NOT fasten off the cream yarn and sc through both pieces before finishing. ✗ Overstuffing the head makes cinching difficult and the face look distorted; stuff the head tightly but not too much so you can cinch later. ✗ Skipping counting after increases and decreases leads to wrong stitch counts and mismatched shaping; count after each shaping round to ensure correct totals.

Info :

Sew the ends of the bow using the tail. Fold the bow making 2 neat folds and secure them. It's more convenient to fold and secure the front and rear parts of the bow separately. Wrap the middle of the bow with the band and secure it with a needle.

— 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). Attach the nose with glue.

Info :

Sew the hands in between R26 and 27. 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. Sew the bow near the ear. 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 the cream yarn: insert the needle between R26 and R27 (Point 1), exit near the left eye (Point 2), skip 1-2 sc, insert at Point 3 and back to Point 1; repeat symmetric stitches for the second eye socket and weave in ends.
  • Attach the nose with Moment Crystal glue after sewing the brows and the nose-to-mouth line with black embroidery thread.
  • Sew the hands in between rounds R26 and R27 of the body, positioning them symmetrically and sewing securely through the folded top edges.
  • Sew the legs precisely under the arms at round R7 so the bunny sits balanced, and ensure legs are evenly spaced and firmly attached.
  • Place the ears on top of the head, spacing them with 4-5 sc between as a starting guide, then adjust placement and sew through both inner and outer ear layers.
  • Attach the bow near one ear and sew the bright pink belly button onto the center of the belly using bright pink yarn.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use a stitch marker between the 3rd and 4th decrease on the belly to mark the center for accurate eye placement.
  • 💡Stuff the neck area well between R26 and R27 to prevent a wobbly head and ensure a stable assembly.
  • 💡Do NOT fasten off the cream yarn on the ear outer piece until you have sc-joined the light pink inner piece to it for a neat finish.
  • 💡Weave in ends neatly and sew pieces securely to prevent gaps when the toy is handled or washed.
