Why You'll Love This Rabbit Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it balances simple stitches with thoughtful shaping to create a charming cuddly rabbit. I enjoy how the design is made mostly in one piece for a neat and seamless finish, which saves time and produces a clean silhouette. The included photo tutorials and sewing techniques are details I always appreciated when learning amigurumi, so I made sure to include them here. I hope you feel inspired and proud when you complete your rabbit — I always smile when I see mine finished.

Switch Things Up

I often change the color palette to match seasons; try pastel shades for a baby gift or warm autumn tones for a seasonal decor piece.

I like making mini versions by using fingering weight yarn and a smaller hook to create keychain-sized rabbits.

I sometimes use bulkier yarn and a larger hook to make a squishy, huggable rabbit that feels more like a plush toy.

I add embroidered cheeks or blush with a tiny amount of pastel yarn or fabric-safe chalk to change the expression.

I swap safety eyes for French knots or small buttons for a vintage look, but I only use embroidery for toys for small children.

I create outfits by crocheting small accessories like scarves, hats or tiny sweaters to personalize each rabbit.

I add wire inside the limbs for posability when I want to pose the rabbit on a shelf or in photos.

I vary ear shapes — longer, floppier ears or short perky ones — to give different personalities to each doll.

I sometimes use textured stitches (like crab stitch or puff stitch) for a unique surface and tactile detail on the feet or belly.

I combine two yarn colors for stripes or color blocks to make playful, unique designs that make great gifts.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not using a stitch marker makes it easy to lose track of rounds and shift shaping; place a marker at the start of every round and move it at the end of each round to keep your stitch count accurate. ✗ Crocheting too loosely causes stuffing to show through and a floppy shape; crochet with a slightly tighter tension for amigurumi and check that gaps are closed before stuffing. ✗ Stuffing all at once leads to uneven lumps and misshapen features; stuff gradually, shaping as you go and add small amounts to get a smooth finish. ✗ Skipping stitch counts after increases or decreases results in uneven shaping; count your stitches frequently, especially after rounds with multiple increases or decreases. ✗ Attaching safety eyes without considering placement can look unbalanced; place eyes between the recommended rounds (round 8) and count stitches to leave the correct spacing before fastening the eyes. ✗ Not weaving in yarn tails properly can cause ends to come loose later; when closing holes weave the yarn tail inside the body following the closing tutorial to hide and secure it.

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach the legs by sewing across the top of the row and position them above round 31, slightly toward the front of the body, then fasten and hide the yarn tail inside the body.
  • Sew the arms by pressing the top of the arm together and inserting the needle through both stitches, then attach them just beneath round 19 and hide the tails inside the body.
  • Place the ears just beneath round 5, pin and sew the folded ears to the head, fasten and weave the yarn tails into the head to hide them.
  • Position the tail at the bottom center of the body, pin in place and sew securely, fasten and hide the yarn tail inside the body.
  • Embed the safety eyes at round 8 leaving eight stitches (count 7 holes) between them before embroidering the nose.
  • Use the closing technique to weave the final yarn tail into the body: pull tight to close the hole, knot, then reinsert and bring the tail out in a different point and trim.

Important Notes

  • 💡Work in continuous spiral; do not join rounds unless instructed to close with a sl st for finishing details.
  • 💡Crochet tightly to prevent gaps between stitches so the stuffing will not show through the fabric.
  • 💡For children under the age of 3 use embroidered eyes and avoid buttons or small parts as safety hazards.
  • 💡Use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to mark the beginning/end of rounds and move the marker at the end of every round.
