About This Heart Cat and Bunny Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates two heart-shaped plush toys: a sweet cat and a cuddly bunny, each with its own muzzle, ears, and tail. It uses super-bulky plush yarn for an ultra-soft finish and is worked mostly in continuous rounds. Detailed round-by-round instructions, joining steps, and assembly guidance make constructing the heart shape straightforward.

Why You'll Love This Heart Cat and Bunny Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it transforms simple stitches into charming heart-shaped characters that feel like a warm hug. I appreciate how the design uses plush super-bulky yarn to create soft, squishy toys that are perfect for gifting or decorating. The joining technique between the two domes makes a lovely heart silhouette that feels clever and satisfying to crochet. I also enjoy adding small personal touches like embroidered whiskers or color variations to make each piece unique.

Switch Things Up

I love how many ways you can customize this pattern to make it your own.

You can change the colors to create seasonal versions: use red and white for Valentine’s Day or green and gold for a festive look.

To make a mini keychain version, switch to a finer yarn and a smaller hook to reduce the finished size dramatically.

For a chunkier, cuddlier toy, use bulkier plush yarn and a larger hook — it creates a squishier heart perfect for toddlers.

I often add embroidered details like tiny hearts or freckles on the face to give each character personality.

Try swapping safety eyes for embroidered eyes for a totally child-safe toy, especially if gifting to young children.

Experiment with different muzzle shapes or sizes to change expressions — a larger muzzle gives a more playful look, a smaller one looks daintier.

Make matching sets by altering tail patterns: a long striped tail for the cat or a pom-pom tail for the bunny looks adorable.

I sometimes add accessories like tiny crocheted bows, scarves, or little felt props to enhance the character and make them gift-ready.

Don’t be afraid to mix yarn textures for contrast — a fuzzy muzzle on a smooth plush heart can create a charming visual and tactile interest.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping a stitch marker while working continuous rounds causes you to lose track of the start; place a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round to maintain accurate counting. ✗ Not stuffing the heart evenly leads to lumpy or misshapen results; stuff gradually and firmly, adding small amounts of fiberfill while shaping to keep a smooth silhouette. ✗ Forgetting to change yarn colors exactly at the indicated rounds on the tail produces uneven stripes; change color at the start of the round and secure the tail ends before continuing. ✗ Using the main plush yarn to sew delicate parts like ears or tail can weaken seams; use a strong thread for sewing these parts as instructed to ensure a secure attachment.

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the muzzle to the heart: for the cat place the muzzle at the level of rounds 12-15, lightly stuff the muzzle with fiberfill, embroider whiskers, and hide thread ends by pulling the needle under and out below the muzzle.
  • Position and sew the ears: choose placement visually or follow the photo reference; for the bunny fold the bottom of the ear in half before sewing to give the ear shape, and for the cat align front/back sides as indicated in the photo.
  • Attach the tail to the heart: sew the cat tail at the level of rounds 7-8 and the bunny tail at the level of rounds 1-2, securing firmly with strong thread.
  • Attach safety eyes and nose: place safety eyes (16 mm) between rounds 10-11 spaced 6 SC apart, and attach the safety nose to the muzzle at the prescribed round (cat on round 2/3, bunny on round 1/2).

Important Notes

  • 💡Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round when working continuous rounds to avoid losing your place.
  • 💡Stuff gradually and evenly to maintain the heart shape; overstuffing will distort the silhouette while under-stuffing makes it floppy.
  • 💡Use strong thread (not the main plush yarn) to sew ears and tail for extra security, as recommended in the materials list.

These lovable heart friends are perfect for gifting or displaying in any cozy nook. They crocheted quickly with plush super-bulky yarn and look delightful in pastel or bright colors. Make a pair — a bunny and a cat — to share smiles and cuddles! 🧶💕
