About This Plush snuggler BUNNY Amigurumi Pattern
This pattern creates a plush snuggler bunny approx. 41 cm / 16" tall using plush chenille-style yarn. It includes fully written rounds for legs, body, arms, head, ears and tail plus step-by-step finishing notes. You can choose safety eyes or embroider details for a fully safe baby toy. The design uses spiral crochet and simple shaping techniques that result in a soft, floppy-eared companion.
The pattern provides yarn alternatives and a detailed materials list so you can adapt to what you have on hand. Clear photographs and assembly steps make it easy to sew parts together and add facial details.
Why You'll Love This Plush snuggler BUNNY Amigurumi Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it turns soft, luxurious plush yarn into a huggable friend that is both simple and rewarding to make. I enjoy how the spiral crochet technique creates smooth shaping without visible joins, and the floppy ears give the bunny so much character. I also love that you can choose between embroidered features or safety eyes, making it versatile for gifting to babies or older children. This pattern lets me combine quick rounds with thoughtful finishing touches, which is a satisfying balance of speed and detail.
Switch Things Up
I love how easy it is to customize this bunny by changing yarn color and texture — try pastel shades for a baby-friendly look or a speckled yarn for whimsical charm.
I often swap the safety eyes for embroidered eyes to make the bunny completely baby-safe; dark embroidery thread creates a sweet sleepy expression.
To make a mini keychain version, use thinner plush yarn or a small novelty yarn and a 2.5–3.5 mm hook; reduce rounds proportionally for smaller measurements.
If you want a chunkier, cuddlier toy, use a bulky chenille yarn and a larger hook; the finished bunny will be plumper and very snuggly.
I sometimes add a removable crocheted scarf or little bow to personalize gifts — these tiny accessories add a finished look and are quick to make.
Try changing the face expression by moving the eyes or altering eyebrow embroidery; small shifts create very different personalities.
I recommend experimenting with contrast colors for the muzzle and inner ears to highlight facial features and make the expression pop.
If you like poseable toys, consider adding a short piece of wire inside the arms for gentle shaping, then secure the ends so they are safe for play.
For festive versions, embroider a small heart on the chest or add a holiday-themed felt accessory to make seasonal gifts.
I also enjoy making matching sibling sets by varying yarn colors and eye styles so each bunny is unique while using the same core pattern.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Skipping the stitch count when shaping the legs leads to lopsided pieces; count after every round and mark round starts to maintain symmetry.
✗ Not stuffing gradually creates lumps or an overstuffed shape; add small amounts of filler as you shape and check the silhouette frequently.
✗ Forgetting to leave the second leg attached when required for joining to the body prevents easy assembly; do not cut the thread of the second leg until instructed to join.
✗ Placing safety eyes too low or too close can distort the face; attach eyes between rounds 10 and 11 with 8 stitches between them or follow the embroidery placement diagrams carefully.
