Why You'll Love This Snuggle Bunny Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it blends a classic granny-style blanket with a sweet amigurumi head for a comforting, modern baby lovey. I enjoy how quickly the main section grows, giving fast progress and visible results. The floppy ears and tiny arms add so much personality with very little extra work. Making one of these felt rewarding every time I finished, and I was excited to give them as thoughtful handmade gifts.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customise this Snuggle Bunny — change colour stripes in the Main Section to match a nursery theme or make it in bold tones for a modern look.

I often swap the Baby DK for a slightly thicker DK or light aran and use a larger hook to create a chunkier, cuddlier version.

For mini keychain versions, I use finer yarn and a smaller hook so the head and blanket are proportionally tiny and portable.

I sometimes add a tiny crocheted bow or pompom to one ear for a playful accent that kids enjoy.

If you prefer safety eyes, add small safety eyes before closing the head, but for baby items I generally embroider the features for extra safety.

Try embroidering different facial expressions — a smile, sleepy eyes or a surprised look — to give each bunny its own personality.

I like to add a contrasting border row around the Main Section to frame the blanket and coordinate with the ear patch colour.

To make a matching set, crochet two loveys with swapped colours and embroider personalised initials on the reverse corner using the oddment yarn.

You can experiment with textured stitches in the centre of the Main Section for extra tactile interest, such as adding a row of bobbles or puff stitches.

I recommend trying a soft organic or baby-friendly yarn for newborn gifts to ensure maximum comfort and safety for little ones.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the gauge check can lead to a blanket much larger or smaller than intended; crochet a 10 cm/4 in swatch using the recommended hook to match tension before you begin. ✗ Forgetting to place stitch markers at the start of rounds causes miscounts and uneven edges; place a marker at the first stitch of each round and move it each round to track your starting point. ✗ Not stuffing the head and arms gradually can create lumps or uneven shaping; stuff little by little, shaping as you go and adding small amounts to reach the desired firmness. ✗ Attaching the ears or arms without pinning first can result in uneven placement; pin pieces in place and check symmetry using the photograph before sewing permanently.

— Making Up :

Info :

Press Main Section only very carefully.

Step 1 :

Insert toy filling into Head so that Head is firmly filled but still fairly soft. Beg and end of rounds is centre back of Head, and last round is neck edge round.

Step 2 :

Fold Ears flat - final round is edge that will be attached to Head. Using photograph as a guide, lay Ear Patch centrally along one side of Ear so that foundation ch edge of Patch is level with final round of Ear, and very neatly sew Patch in place.

Step 3 :

Sew Ears to Head as in photograph - Ears should "flop" forwards, with Ear Patch towards front of Head.

Step 4 :

Using oddment of C and photograph as a guide, embroider satin stitch eyes onto Head, then embroider a straight stitch "Y" shape for nose.

Step 5 :

Insert toy filling into Arms so that Arms are firmly filled but still fairly soft. Fold Arm flat at top (last round) and then neatly sew Arms to neck edge of Head, using photograph as a guide.

Step 6 :

Sew completed Head, Ears and Arms onto centre of Main Section as in photograph.

Info :

Safety note: Ensure all stitching is very secure to avoid the risk of the baby pulling sections apart and swallowing them!

Assembly Instructions

  • Press the Main Section only very carefully to flatten the blanket before assembly.
  • Insert toy filling into the Head so it is firmly filled but still fairly soft, with the last round forming the neck edge.
  • Fold each Ear flat and sew the Ear Patch centrally along one side so the foundation chain edge aligns with the final round, then sew Ears to the Head so they "flop" forwards.
  • Using oddment of C, embroider satin stitch eyes and a straight stitch "Y" nose on the Head following the photograph as a guide.
  • Insert filling into Arms, fold the top flat, and sew Arms to the neck edge of the Head; then sew the completed Head, Ears and Arms to the centre of the Main Section.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use the recommended hooks and check tension—24 sts and 24 rows to 10 cm over dc (sc) using a 3mm hook—to ensure the correct finished size.
  • 💡Press only the Main Section very carefully — avoid pressing the amigurumi head and limbs directly.
  • 💡Ensure all stitching attaching small parts is very secure to minimize the risk of a baby pulling sections apart and swallowing them.
