 Step-by-Step Crochet Bunny Pattern

Pattern Notes (Read First)

• Work in continuous rounds unless stated.
• Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round.

Finished size (typical): about 2.5–3.5 in (6–9 cm) tall,l depending on yarn/hook.

Head

Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR (6)

Rnd 3: (1 sc, inc) rep around (18)
Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) rep around (24)
Rnd 5: (3 sc, inc) rep around (30)
Rnd 6–8: sc around (30)

Place eyes (if using safety eyes):
Insert eyes between Rnd 7 and Rnd 8, about 6–7 stitches apart. (Adjust to your bunny’s “cuteness” slightly closer looks extra kawaii.)

9: (3 sc, dec) rep around (24)
Rnd 10: (2 sc, dec) rep around (18)
Start stuffing firmly but gently, round, not overpacked.

 11: (1 sc, dec) rep around (12)
Add a little more stuffing to shape the cheeks.

Rnd 4: sc around (18)
Rnd 5: (1 sc, dec) rep around (12)

Rnd 1: sc around evenly into the last body round (12)
Rnd 2–7: sc around (12)
Try it on your finger or a pen as you go:

Facial Details (Embroidery-Friendly Option)

If you are not using safety eyes, embroider them:

• Eyes: two small vertical stitches or tiny curved “U” shapes
• Optional eyelashes: add 2 short stitches at the outer corner of each eye
• Nose: small pink triangle or a tiny satin-stitched dot
• Mouth: a short line down from the nose, then a tiny “Y” split or curved smile

 Assembly Instructions

Follow this order for the cleanest, easiest finish:

 1: Sew Head to Body

• Centre the head on top of the body.
• Use long-tail and whip stitches to join the pieces.
• Stitch all the way around for stability (finger puppets get handled a lot).

 2: Attach Ears Symmetrically

• Place ears on top of the head, slightly toward the sides.
• Align them so they look even from the front.
• Sew securely around the ear base.

 3: Attach Arms in a Hugging Position

• Sew arms to the upper sides of the body, slightly forward.
• Angle inward so they look like the bunny is hugging your finger or gripping the pen.

 4: Add Eyes

• If using safety eyes, they’re already set.
• If embroidering, stitch eyes now and check spacing before knotting off.

 5: Embroider Nose and Smile

• Nose centred between the eyes and above the mouth area.
• Keep stitches small; tiny features look cuter at this scale.

 6: Fit Check (Finger or Pen)

• Slide onto a finger or pen.
• If the opening is snug, gently stretch with your fingers. If it’s too loose next time, reduce rounds or use a smaller hook.

Customization Ideas

• Different colours: classic white bunny, pastel pink, lavender, baby blue, or speckled yarn for a “sprinkle bunny.”
• Accessories: tiny bow, mini scarf, flower on one ear, or a little crochet collar.
• Keychain version: stitch a small loop at the top of the head (ch 10, sl st to form a loop) and attach a keyring.
• Bigger or smaller: use thicker yarn for a larger bunny or crochet thread for a micro version.
• Nursery or desk decor: make a trio in matching colours and display them in a small cup of pens or on a shelf.

 Beginner Tips

• Use stitch markers so your rounds stay consistent, and your shaping stays smooth.
• Count stitches every round; it prevents lopsided heads and uneven ears.
• Don’t overstuff: the head should be firm but not stretched; the base should stay flexible.
• Choose soft yarn: cotton gives crisp stitches; acrylic feels plush and cuddly.
• Keep tension consistent: tight, even stitches make amigurumi look “store-bought” polished.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Twisted or wavy base opening: keep the same stitch count each round and avoid accidental increases.
• Eyes placed too high/low: aim for the upper half of the head; check symmetry before securing.
• Overstuffing the body: too much stuffing makes it hard to fit on a finger or pen.
• Ears sewn unevenly: pin first, then sew—small changes make a big difference.
• Loose stitches showing stuffing: use a smaller hook and maintain snug tension.
