About This Bunny Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern teaches you how to crochet a sweet, teardrop-shaped bunny with long wired ears and a tiny embroidered mouth. The instructions cover making two ears, joining them to start the body, crocheting the body rounds, and finishing with a sewn bottom and simple facial embroidery. Photos show key steps like joining the ears to the body, inserting safety eyes and adding wire to the ears.

Why You'll Love This Bunny Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple rounds into a charming character with minimal pieces and fuss. I enjoy how quickly you see the bunny take shape—two ears and a joined body make construction surprisingly fast. The wired ears give such a playful, posable expression and I love that small details like an embroidered x-mouth make each bunny unique. Making a set in different yarn weights is one of my favorite ways to personalize gifts and decorations.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this bunny with color — try pastel shades for a nursery-friendly set or bright rainbow stripes for playful decor.

You can change the size dramatically by swapping yarn weight and hook size; try DK held double for a squishy medium or bulky for a super soft large bunny.

I often add tiny accessories like a crochet scarf, bow, or felt flower glued or sewn to one ear to give each bunny its own personality.

Instead of safety eyes, you can embroider eyes for a fully child-safe toy — use French knots or small satin stitches for a sweet expression.

To make a keychain or mini version, work with fingering weight yarn and a smaller hook and omit the wire for safety and portability.

If you want posable limbs, try adding thin craft wire inside the limbs before stuffing, but be sure to secure ends carefully to prevent poking through fabric.

I also like to experiment with textured stitches for the body to add visual interest — try a puff or bobble stitch panel instead of plain sc rounds.

Try varying facial expressions by moving the embroidered x-mouth up or down and altering eye spacing to create happy, sleepy, or surprised bunnies.

Make seasonal versions by changing colors and adding tiny props like a crocheted carrot, a mini egg for Easter, or a festive bow for holidays.

For gifting, place the finished bunny in a small handmade pouch or box with a ribbon and a note — little presentation details make handmade gifts feel extra special.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Failing to mark the first stitch of each round can cause your shaping to drift; always place a stitch marker at the first stitch and move it every round. ✗ Joining rounds or turning when the pattern expects continuous rounds will distort stitch counts; work in continuous rounds exactly and only join or turn where the pattern explicitly directs. ✗ Forgetting to leave the long tail on the second ear when starting the body will make joining difficult; do not fasten off the second ear and keep the yarn attached to start the body. ✗ Overstuffing the ears makes them bulky and hard to insert the wire; do not stuff the ears and only stuff the body tightly for structure. ✗ Not counting stitches after increases and decreases leads to incorrect shaping; count at the end of each round especially after rounds with multiple increase/decrease sequences.

Assembly Instructions

  • Insert safety eyes 3 stitches apart between rounds 27 and 28 before stuffing the body and securing the head area.
  • Do not stuff the ears; fold and insert the prepared folded iron wire into each ear to make them posable before closing the ear tops.
  • Stuff the body tightly with polyester fiberfill to create a firm shape, then align and sew the bottom circle to the last round of the body using the long tail and a whipstitch.
  • For the first ear, join with a slip stitch in the first stitch and fasten off; for the second ear, leave the yarn attached and use that yarn to start the body as instructed in Round 1 of the body.
  • Embroider a small x-shaped mouth between the eyes on round 28 using Black DK yarn, securing and weaving in ends with a tapestry needle.

Important Notes

  • 💡Work in continuous rounds and mark the first stitch of each round to keep your shaping accurate throughout the pattern.
  • 💡Do not stuff the ears; only the body should be stuffed tightly to maintain a clean silhouette and allow the wired ears to hold their shape.
  • 💡Leave the long end on the second ear when beginning the body so you can join the ears and work the body seamlessly from that yarn.

FAQs

What size will the finished piece be?

The blue, medium sized bunny measures approximately 10.3 inches tall (26 cm) using the recommended Chunky yarn and a 4.00 mm hook.

Can I make different sizes of the bunny?

Yes, use a 3.0 mm hook with DMC Petra No.3 for the smallest bunny, Chunky yarn and 4.0 mm hook for the medium, or hold 4 strands of DK yarn and a 6.0 mm hook to make the biggest bunny.

Do I need to wire the ears and how is that done?

Yes, fold a length of 18 gauge iron wire in half, shape the ends as shown in the photos, and insert the folded wire inside each ear before final placement; this provides posability.

Where should I place the safety eyes?

Insert safety eyes 3 stitches apart between rounds 27 and 28 before completing stuffing and closing the area so they are secure and evenly spaced.

Is this pattern suitable for beginners?

This pattern is beginner friendly and uses basic stitches (single crochet, increases and decreases), but you should be comfortable working in continuous rounds and following stitch counts.
