Why You'll Love This Rabbit Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it brings a gentle, expressive character to life with simple but thoughtful shaping. I enjoy how the embroidery and eye placement let you personalize the rabbit's expression easily. The head-and-body-as-one construction makes assembly neater and more satisfying. I also appreciate that the pattern includes small accessory details like the muzzle, nose, and ears so you can create a polished finished toy.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this rabbit by changing yarn and color choices; try pastel shades for a soft baby toy or bright colors for a playful look.

I often make a mini keychain version by using thinner yarn and a smaller hook to create a tiny portable companion.

To make a larger cuddly rabbit, I switch to a bulky yarn and a bigger hook and adjust stuffing to maintain shape.

I like to experiment with facial expressions: moving the eyes up or down a round or changing the eyelid angle gives totally different moods.

Try embroidered freckles or a blush with felt-tip markers (on a test yarn scrap) to add personality to the face.

For a plush-textured belly use a fluffy yarn (YarnArt Mink or Alize Softy) for contrast while keeping the rest in smooth cotton.

I sometimes create outfits or tiny props — like a carrot or a scarf — using leftover yarn to tell a story with the toy.

If you want posable ears or limbs, add a thin wire inside before sewing closed, but secure ends carefully so they won't poke through.

I recommend swapping safety eyes for embroidered eyes in toys for small children to make them fully soft and washable.

Finally, I always recommend making a practice head to test facial placement before finishing the main project; it saves time and helps visualize the final expression.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not marking the beginning of the round; place a stitch marker at the start of each round to keep shaping aligned and match increases/decreases correctly. ✗ Skipping the instruction to insert eyes between Rd.9 and Rd.10 at a distance of 6 SC; measure and count carefully before fixing eyes to avoid uneven placement. ✗ Overstuffing or stuffing too late causes distorted shaping of cheeks and neck; stuff gradually during the process, especially after rounds that shape the head and body. ✗ Ignoring stitch-counts during increases and decreases leads to wrong shaping; count your stitches at the end of each round and correct mistakes immediately. ✗ Not hiding initial and end threads properly on flat pieces like ears; always weave ends along one side between loops or leave long ends for sewing to secure pieces. ✗ Changing hook size or yarn weight without adjusting pattern causes size mismatch; if you change yarn, test gauge and adjust the hook to match the recommended density.

Assembly Instructions

  • Insert and fix the plastic eyes between Rd. 9 and Rd. 10 with 6 SC between them; sew the crocheted eye whites so the upper edge is 3 rounds above the pupil and the lower edge one round below.
  • Sew the muzzle to the head so that it sits in the area of Rd. 10-17 of the head; stuff the muzzle lightly before final stitching to achieve the correct shape.
  • Attach the nose to the muzzle (above the MR on the muzzle) and secure with hidden stitches; leave long ends where indicated to help anchor the detail.
  • Assemble ears by placing the pink inner part inside the green outer part, crochet together with SC along the contour and fold the ear, then sew ears to top of the head in the area of Rd. 3-4 (adjust placement for expression).
  • Embroider eyelids and lower edge of eyelid with green and thin black thread respectively, then embroider a smile and whiskers with thin black thread, fixing the smile curve with stitches at the lower points.
  • Sew tummy to the front of the body using the long end left for sewing; align the tummy so it sits centered on the front and stitch securely with small hidden stitches.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round; this is critical to align increases and decreases and to match the pattern's shaping.
  • 💡Stuff parts gradually while crocheting the head and body to get smooth shaping; overstuffing can flatten cheeks or distort the triangle head shape.
  • 💡Insert eyes between Rd. 9 and Rd. 10 with 6 SC distance and sew eye whites before final assembly to ensure correct placement.
  • 💡Hide initial and end threads along one side between loops on flat pieces like the ear inner part to secure edges and prevent unraveling.
  • 💡When changing yarn type (to plush or textured yarn), choose the correct hook size and test density as shape and size will vary.
