Materials 
Before you start, gather the following:

• Super bulky chenille/velvet yarn (weight 6): 80–100 g (about 90–110 yd / 82–100 m) in your main color
• Crochet hook: 4.5 mm (primary); optionally, 5.0 mm for a looser texture
• Safety eyes: 10 mm pair (use 8 mm for a smaller face, or 12 mm for a cuter, oversized look)
• Polyester fiberfill: 50–70 g
• Tapestry needle: size 16 (approximately 5 cm, blunt tip)
• Stitch marker: 1–2 locking markers
• Scissors: small and sharp
• Black embroidery thread (6-strand cotton) or size 8 perle cotton for nose/mouth
• Optional: blush or fabric-safe pigment, tiny ribbon or charm, fabric glue (for knot security), hemostat or stuffing stick, 35 mm pom-pom maker (for tail)

Because chenille can show gaps, the gauge should be snug. For reference, approximately 12 sc × 14 rounds ≈ 4 in/10 cm with a 4.5 mm hook. If you see holes, simply drop to a 4.0–4.5 mm hook; otherwise, size up slightly for a softer drape.

Level of difficulty

• Beginner. If you can make a magic ring, single crochet, increase, and invisible decrease, you’re ready.

Estimated total time

• Approximately 60–90 minutes, depending on your pace and yarn familiarity.

Finished size

• Approximately 4.5–5.5 in (11.5–14 cm) tall without ears and 5.5–6.5 in (14–16.5 cm) with ears, using the materials above.

Special features

• Ultra-plush, mochi-soft texture with a chubby silhouette.
• Minimal sewing: the body is worked in one continuous piece.
• Flexible finishes: safety eyes for older kids or embroidered eyes for baby-safe gifting.
• Fast and repeatable: ideal for markets, last-minute gifts, or cozy decor.

Abbreviations (worked in continuous rounds)

• MR = magic ring
• sc = single crochet
• inc = increase (2 sc in one stitch)
• dec = invisible decrease (front loops of next two stitches)

Step-by-step: Bunny body (with times)
To keep your place, mark the first stitch of each round. Then, proceed as follows.

1. Foundation puff start (3–5 minutes)

• R1: MR, 6 sc into ring (6)
  If the magic ring is difficult, alternatively, chain 2 and work 6 sc in the second chain from the hook. Consequently, your start will be secure and neat.

2. Smooth increases for a chubby base (10–12 minutes)

• R2: inc around (12)
• R3: (sc, inc) × 6 (18)
• R4: (2 sc, inc) × 6 (24)
  At this stage, the piece will resemble a shallow cup. Meanwhile, keep your tension firm so the fabric remains plush and closed.

3. Build the mochi puff curve (15–20 minutes)

• R5: (3 sc, inc) × 6 (30)
• R6: (4 sc, inc) × 6 (36)
• R7: (5 sc, inc) × 6 (42)
• R8: (6 sc, inc) × 6 (48)
  By increasing gradually, you’ll achieve a smooth, rounded sphere rather than sharp edges. As a result, the signature mochi look becomes more pronounced.

4. Lock in the plush shape (10–12 minutes)

• R9–R11: sc around (48) for 3 rounds total
  These even rounds add height and density. Furthermore, rotating your work occasionally helps keep stitches even and uniform.

5. Add the face (5–8 minutes)

• Insert safety eyes between R10 and R11, spaced 8–9 stitches apart.
• Embroider a tiny “V” nose centered between the eyes on R12, then add a short vertical stitch downward.
  Before snapping washers in place, first test placement with pins. If this is a baby gift, instead, embroider the eyes for safety.

6. Shape the top and begin close (12–15 minutes)

• R12: (6 sc, dec) × 6 (42)
• R13: (5 sc, dec) × 6 (36)
• R14: (4 sc, dec) × 6 (30)
• R15: (3 sc, dec) × 6 (24)
  At this point, pause to begin stuffing lightly. Start with small tufts, and then distribute evenly to avoid hard lumps.

7. Final close and stuffing (13–18 minutes)

• R16: (2 sc, dec) × 6 (18)
• R17: (sc, dec) × 6 (12)
  Add more stuffing now, staying firm but still squeezable.
• R18: dec around (6). Fasten off, then weave the yarn tail through the front loops of the remaining stitches and cinch closed. Finally, secure the end and hide it deep inside the body.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Loose tension: If stuffing peeks through, reduce hook size; therefore, your fabric will stay dense and plush.
• Over-stuffing too early: Stuff gradually after R15; otherwise, you may stretch stitches or warp the shape.
• Miscounts: Move your stitch marker every round. Additionally, recount stitch totals at the end of each round to maintain symmetry.
• Visible decreases: Use invisible decreases; consequently, your shaping will look smooth and professional.
• Eye misplacement: Always pin first, measure the stitch gap, and then lock the washers.
• Chenille shedding: If you must frog, undo slowly and support the yarn tail; otherwise, fibers can shed excessively.

Tutor-style suggestions (for speed and ease)

• Add a lifeline: After R4, weave a contrasting thread through that round. If you need to rip back, you’ll return precisely to a known point.
• Count in sets: For patterns like (5 sc, inc) × 6, count one set at a time; as a result, you’ll reduce mistakes.
• Use a hemostat or chopstick: These tools place stuffing neatly without stretching stitches.
• Invisible close: Weave through front loops only on the final round; then gently tug to create a seamless “mochi” pinch.
• Secure embroidery: A tiny dab of fabric glue on the knot helps prevent unraveling over time.
• Gentle fluffing: Lightly brush chenille with a soft toothbrush; however, avoid heat, which can flatten the pile.

Sizing tips (customize your mochi puff)

• Larger bunny: Add one more increase round to 54 sts—R9: (7 sc, inc) × 6—then work 3–4 even rounds before decreasing; use 12 mm eyes. Consequently, height increases by roughly 0.5–1 in (1.3–2.5 cm).
• Smaller bunny: Stop increasing at 42 sts (R7), work 2 even rounds, and then start decreasing; use 8–9 mm eyes. This creates a palm-sized squish.
• Hook adjustments: If your fabric feels stiff, go up to 5.0 mm; conversely, if you see gaps, drop to 4.0–4.5 mm.

Variations (quick, cute upgrades)

• Simple ears (8–10 minutes total): Make 2. Ch 6; starting in the 2nd ch from hook, sc, sc, hdc, hdc, sc; fasten off, leaving a 6–8 in (15–20 cm) tail. Next, sew on top, slightly forward for a kawaii tilt.
• Pom-pom tail (5–6 minutes): Use a 35 mm pom-pom maker; trim neatly and stitch securely to the back.
• Baby-safe face: Instead of safety eyes, embroider satin-stitch eyes or tiny “U” eyes; thus, the toy remains infant-friendly.
• Color play: Choose pastels for classic mochi vibes, speckles for confetti fun, or a contrasting inner ear embroidery for extra charm.
• Finishing flair: Add a tiny ribbon under one ear or stitch a small felt heart for personality.

Finishing tips (polished and professional)

• Shape as you finish: After closing, roll the bunny between your palms to redistribute stuffing. Consequently, edges smooth out and the silhouette rounds evenly.
• Seam invisibly: When attaching ears, whipstitch through front loops only; this prevents bulky ridges.
• Tidy fuzz: Trim stray fibers carefully with small scissors; however, avoid over-trimming chenille pile.
• Add blush: Lightly dab fabric-safe blush one round below the eyes; as a result, the expression looks warm and friendly.
• Safety check: Gently tug safety eyes to confirm the washers are locked. If gifting to young children, embroider eyes instead.
