Why You'll Love This Rabbit Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns basic stitches into a charming, huggable companion that feels handmade and special. I enjoyed designing the shaping so the head and body flow naturally from top to bottom with minimal seams. I love how the embroidery step adds personality to each bunny, letting you personalize expression and color. Making a set of different sizes is one of my favorite creative experiments with this design.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this rabbit by changing yarn colors — try soft pastels for a nursery look or bold shades for a playful twist.

I often switch yarn weight and hook size to make a family of bunnies, so play with thin yarn for minis and chunky yarn for huggable versions.

I like adding embroidered eyebrows or a smiling mouth to change the personality; experiment with different placement for varied expressions.

Try different eye options: safety eyes for durability, embroidered eyes for baby-safe toys, or tiny buttons for decorative pieces (for older children only).

Swap the ear shapes - make shorter rounded ears or extra-long floppy ears to give your bunny a signature look.

Make seasonal accessories like tiny scarves, bows, or a crocheted jacket to style the rabbit for holidays or gift themes.

Attach a small loop at the top to turn the mini version into a keychain or bag charm for portable cuteness.

I sometimes embroider little patches or add French knots for freckles to make each bunny feel unique and hand-finished.

If you want a posable toy, consider inserting thin wire into the limbs before fully stuffing to allow gentle posing.

For a natural look, mix two close yarn shades held together for subtle marled texture that looks luxurious and soft.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the stitch marker while working in a continuous spiral leads to losing the start of the round; place and move a marker at the end of every round to stay on track. ✗ Crocheting too loosely will show stuffing through the fabric and create gaps; crochet with a tighter tension and use the recommended hook size to avoid holes. ✗ Overstuffing creates a distorted shape and lumps; stuff gradually, shape as you go, and add small amounts until the piece is firm but still soft. ✗ Not counting stitches after decreases or increases makes later shaping incorrect; count your stitches at key rounds (especially after increases/decreases) and correct immediately if counts differ.

  • Embroider the nose centered on row 8 following the vertical then horizontal stitches, tighten and knot the ends, then bury and trim threads inside the head.

Important Notes

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