Switch Things Up

I love to experiment with color palettes to give each bunny a new personality; try soft pastels for a nursery-friendly look or bright primaries for a playful feel.

You can change yarn weight and hook size to make different sizes: bulky yarn and a larger hook will create a chunkier rattle, while thinner yarn makes a tiny keyring-sized toy.

I sometimes add a loop of ribbon or a small bell inside the collar (securely sewn) for extra sensory detail, but always ensure attachments are sewn tightly for safety.

If you want a plush face, embroider with thicker yarn or create felt appliques instead of embroidered eyes, making sure edges are firmly stitched down.

Try crocheting the collar in a contrast color or variegated yarn to make it pop, or make the collar removable by attaching it with small hidden snaps.

For a teething-friendly twist, use a food-safe silicone ring instead of a wooden one, and be sure to follow supplier safety guidelines.

I enjoy adding tiny accessories like a crocheted bow or mini flower; experiment with placement on the ear or collar until you find a look you love.

If you want an eco-friendly version, use organic cotton sport yarn and unfinished wooden rings for a natural aesthetic.

To make a collectible set, vary facial expressions by adjusting the eye placement and mouth embroidery, which changes the bunny's mood dramatically.

I also recommend practicing the ruffle/collar on scrap yarn to change the fullness; increasing or decreasing the chain or stitch repeats will change how ruffled it becomes.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the magic ring technique at the start can leave a noticeable hole; use a properly closed magic ring to create a neat, gap-free center. ✗ Not checking your gauge can change the final size and how the wooden ring fits; crochet a small swatch and adjust hook size to match the provided gauge. ✗ Overstuffing the head will distort the shape and make attachment difficult; stuff gradually and firmly, but not so much that the stitches stretch. ✗ Sewing the head loosely to the body will allow it to move or detach with shaking; sew firmly with a long tail and secure stitches to keep the head stable. ✗ Leaving long loose ends or not weaving tails securely can create hazards for babies; weave in and hide all ends thoroughly and sew pieces tightly.

Step 3 :

Place the collar between the body and head and sew the ends together into a ring. To prevent it from dangling, sew it to the head in several places [fig 13,14].

Step 4 :

Take black yarn and embroider the nose and eyes. Please, refer to the pictures! [fig 15]

Info :

Between the 11th and 12th rows embroider the horizontal line of the nose (the width of the nose is about 4 sc). From the middle down, embroider the nose with a vertical line in 2 rows. Embroider the eyes at a distance of 2 sc in the direction of the horizontal line of the nose. Make sure the muzzle is symmetrical.

— Safety & Finishing :

Infos :

Please sew all pieces tightly because a baby will play with it! Do not leave toys unattended in the crib! Ensure all ends are woven in and attachments are secure before giving to a child.

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach the head to the middle of the body sleeve and sew it firmly so it doesn't move when shaking, securing with multiple passes [fig 11].
  • Fold each ear in half lengthwise to create a dimple at the base and sew the ears between rounds 4 and 5 on the head, using sewing pins to position and fixate them [fig 12].
  • Wrap the crocheted body sleeve around the wooden ring, sew the sleeve closed and then sew the sleeve securely to the ring, making sure it hugs the ring completely [fig 8].
  • Place the ruffled collar between the head and body, sew the ends together into a ring, then tack the collar to the head in several places to prevent dangling [fig 13,14].
  • Embroider the nose and eyes using black yarn: embroider a horizontal nose line between the 11th and 12th rows (about 4 sc wide) and a vertical line downwards in 2 rows; place eyes 2 sc from the horizontal nose line [fig 15].

Important Notes

  • 💡Use a tight stitch and small hook (2.00 mm) so the stuffing and rattle ball are secure and the toy is safe for babies.
  • 💡Stuff the head firmly but not so much that stitches stretch; insert the rattle ball before closing the head.
  • 💡Sew all pieces tightly and weave in all ends to prevent small parts from loosening during play.
  • 💡Adjust the number of rows for the body sleeve if needed so the crochet piece hugs the wooden ring completely.
