Switch Things Up

I love how easily you can customize this Bunny Lovey by changing yarn colors; try soft pastels for a baby shower gift or bold brights for a playful nursery accent.

Want a tiny keychain version? Use fingering-weight yarn and a smaller hook to make a miniature lovey perfect for bag charms.

If you prefer a squishier toy, use a bulkier yarn and a larger hook to create a chunkier, cuddlier version.

I often swap the triangle embroidered nose for a small crocheted nose appliqué for a different texture and three-dimensional look.

Try different embroidery styles for the eyes—closed sleepy eyes, open round eyes, or tiny French knots—to change the bunny's expression.

Make the ears floppier by adding a thin felt lining inside, or stiffen them for a perkier look by leaving less yarn tail and attaching closer to the head.

For a gender-neutral option, mix two colors in the lovey body or add a little crocheted bow or scarf in a contrasting color.

I sometimes add a little loop at the top of the head to hang the lovey in the nursery or attach a pacifier clip for functionality.

To make a washable toy, ensure you use machine-washable yarn and embroider securely; avoid glued or unsafe embellishments for baby toys.

Don't be afraid to combine textures — cotton for the head and acrylic for the lovey body gives a lovely handfeeling and different drape.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the recommendation to use a smaller hook will make your stitch gauge loose and stuffing may show; choose a hook smaller than the yarn tag and crochet tightly. ✗ Forgetting to stuff gradually can lead to lumps and an uneven shape; add stuffing little by little while shaping to maintain a smooth surface. ✗ Not leaving long yarn tails for sewing and attaching parts will make assembly awkward; leave about 7.9 inches (20 cm) as directed to securely sew and hide ends. ✗ Not counting stitches after increases and decreases results in asymmetric parts; count the stitches at the end of each round and correct errors immediately. ✗ Using safety eyes instead of embroidery without securing ends can be unsafe for babies; embroider the eyes as shown or choose baby-safe attachments and secure carefully.

— Recommendation :

Info :

The toys should be crocheted with tight stitches, so that when filling and stretching the material, the stuffing willnot become visible. To do this, it is necessary to select a hook which is smaller than it is recommended on the yarn tag. It all depends on the density of knitting that you get. Every experienced amigurumi maker feels which hook is needed for certain to obtain high knitting density and achieve a neat result.

We should continue crocheting the second pant leg. At the beginning of the row, we need to make a chain stitch (ch), then, it is necessary to make hdc in the next 17 loops of the second pant leg and hdc at the point where pant legs are connected (in the 18th loop of the previous row). Next, we need to make hdc at the point where pant legs are connected, along the first pant leg (in the first loop of the first pant leg). After that, we should crochet in a circle along the first pant leg making 35 hdc (to the point where pant legs are connected), hdc in the connection point of the second pant leg, and then, along the second pant leg, till the end of the row, we should make 17 hdc and close the circle with sl st. There are 72 loops in this row. (72)

Info :

Fasten off, leaving about 7.9 inches (20 cm) of yarn end. Then, with the help of a needle, tighten the hole.

— Assembling :

Step 1 :

We should attach the head to the body. It is necessary to join the third from the end row of the head and the second last row of the body. These rows of the head and the body contain the same number of loops (18). In order to attach them together, we need to make 18 double stitches.

Step 2 :

After that, it is necessary to attach forelegs to the body on the sides, at the distance of one row from the head. We should make 9 double stitches.

Step 3 :

Then, we need to attach the ears using the ends of the yarn that we left before. Ears are attached to the fourth row of the head. The distance between the ears should be 9 sc (across the face). Then we need to fasten off and cut the yarn, hiding the ends inside of the head.

Step 4 :

Now, we will make the face. Using the teal blue DMC floss, embroider the nose between rows 16 and 17. The stitch width of the triangle nose is 3 sc and its height is 2 rows.

Step 5 :

After that, we should pull the needle out of the lower part of the nose and move it down by 2 rows to make a mouth. We need to pull the needle to the beginning of the mouth stitch and fix the yarn. Then, make a couple more stitches for the nose, fix the yarn, and cut it hiding the ends inside of the head. Then we should take the black thread and embroider the eyes.

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach the head to the body by joining the third-from-the-end row of the head to the second-last row of the body (both rows have 18 loops) and make 18 double stitches to secure them together.
  • Position the forelegs on either side of the body, one row below the head, and attach each foreleg by making 9 double stitches so they sit evenly and securely.
  • Use the long yarn tails left on the ears to attach them to the fourth row of the head, spacing them 9 sc apart across the face, then fasten off and hide the yarn ends inside the head.
  • Embroider the nose with teal blue DMC floss between rows 16 and 17 (triangle width 3 sc, height 2 rows); then bring the needle down two rows to create the mouth and secure and hide the ends.
  • Embroider the eyes with black thread after the nose is completed, using photos as reference and pins to mark placement before stitching.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use a hook smaller than the yarn tag recommends to obtain tight stitches so stuffing does not show through the fabric.
  • 💡Stuff pieces gradually and evenly; use a chopstick or stuffing tool to push fiberfill into small areas for a smooth finish.
  • 💡Leave long yarn tails (approximately 7.9 inches / 20 cm) when fastening off parts you will sew on later to make assembly easier.
  • 💡Pin parts in place and count stitches before sewing to ensure correct alignment and symmetry during assembly.
