About This Plush snuggler BUNNY Amigurumi Pattern
This pattern creates a plush, snuggly bunny approximately 41 cm (16") tall using plush chenille yarn. The design uses spiral amigurumi technique and includes full instructions for legs, body, arms, head, ears, tail, and facial embroidery. It's perfect for gifting or keeping as a soft cuddle buddy.
Worked in a continuous spiral, the bunny has large floppy ears and knotted feet for a charming finish. The pattern includes clear placement notes for safety eyes and embroidered details.
Why You'll Love This Plush snuggler BUNNY Amigurumi Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it transforms simple plush yarn into an irresistibly soft companion that children and adults both adore. I enjoy the balance of shaping and assembly — the long legs and floppy ears give the bunny character while remaining straightforward to crochet. The pattern lets me be creative with color placement for the muzzle and face, which makes every bunny unique. Sewing and embroidery bring the toy to life, and I always feel proud finishing a cuddly friend ready to be loved.
Switch Things Up
I love to change colors to create different personalities — try a two-tone muzzle or contrasting ear tips to make each bunny unique.
I sometimes swap the plush yarn for a bulky chenille alternative to get a slightly firmer but still super-soft finish.
If you want a mini version, use a thinner yarn and a smaller hook to create a keychain-sized bunny.
For a more durable toy suitable for babies, skip safety eyes and embroider the eyes and features with dark yarn instead.
I often add little crocheted accessories like a scarf or tiny hat to match seasons or make the bunny gift-ready.
Try sewing in a small bell or a lavender sachet inside the body for sensory interest or calming scent (ensure secure closure).
Change the eye placement or eyebrow angle when embroidering to give the bunny a sleepy, surprised, or curious expression.
You can add posable wire to the arms for display versions, or leave them soft and floppy for cuddly playmates.
Mix yarn textures — plush body with cotton muzzle or felt details — to make interesting tactile contrasts.
I like to personalize each bunny with a small embroidered initial or heart on the foot or chest for a thoughtful keepsake.
Experiment with knotting or braiding the foot ties for different finishing looks — small bows, knots, or tucked tails all look cute.
For gifting, make a matching set with different-sized bunnies using the same pattern scaled by yarn/hook changes for a sweet family of snugglers.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Skipping stitch counting during increases causes incorrect stitch totals; count each round and mark repeats to ensure accurate shaping.
✗ Forgetting to stuff at the right moments creates lumps or flattened areas; add filler gradually and shape as you go for an even finish.
✗ Using a hook that is too large makes the plush stitches loose and the stuffing show through; use the recommended hook size or go down a size for tighter stitches.
✗ Not securing the safety eyes or embroidery properly risks loosening with play; place safety eyes between the specified rounds and hide or knot ends securely when embroidering.
