About This Bunny Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a sweet, long-eared Bunny amigurumi with a tear-drop shaped body and posable ears. You will build the ears first and use the yarn tail from the second ear to seamlessly begin the body. It includes instructions for medium size using chunky yarn and options for smaller or larger versions.

Clear round-by-round instructions make shaping and assembly straightforward. The pattern also explains wire insertion for posable ears and a small embroidered mouth for character.

Why You'll Love This Bunny Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines simple stitches with clever shaping to create a charming bunny with personality. I enjoy the way the ears are crocheted separately and then used to start the body, which makes assembly neat and integrated. The addition of wire inside the ears adds a playful, posable element that children and adults both enjoy. It is a quick but rewarding make that produces a high-impact handmade gift.

Switch Things Up

I love customizing this bunny by changing yarn colors and textures; try variegated yarn for a playful striped bunny or pastel shades for a nursery-friendly version.

You can adjust the size easily by switching yarn weight and hook size—use DK yarn and a 3 mm hook for a tiny keychain or multiple strands and a larger hook for a cuddly oversized bunny.

I often replace the wire with pipe cleaners for a softer bendable ear option if the bunny is for small children, making sure to cover and secure the ends well inside the ear.

Swap safety eyes for embroidered eyes if you want a fully soft, child-safe toy—use French knots or tiny satin stitch eyes placed on rnd 28 for a different expression.

Try adding small crocheted accessories like a tiny scarf, bow, or felt cheeks to give each bunny its own personality and seasonally themed looks.

Embroider longer or shorter mouths to change expression; a small straight line looks cute while a little curve can give a smiling look.

Use different filling amounts to change the silhouette—less stuffing for a slouchy look or firmer stuffing for a tidy, structured shape.

Add a small bell or rattle inside the body for a baby-friendly version, making sure the closure is secure and the component is safely enclosed.

Experiment with different ear shapes by altering increases and decreases in the ear rounds to create floppy or pointy ears with the same general method.

I also enjoy making matching sets in coordinating colors—try making a family of three sizes using the suggested hook/yarn substitutions for a charming display.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the instruction to mark the first stitch of each round; always place a stitch marker at the first stitch to avoid losing track of your rounds. ✗ Joining or turning in continuous rounds by mistake; remember this project is worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise stated to keep the shaping correct. ✗ Stuffing the ears while crocheting them; do not stuff the ears — only insert wire and leave ears unstuffed to maintain the intended shape. ✗ Attaching safety eyes too early or too close together; insert safety eyes between rounds 27-28 and position them 3 stitches apart for correct placement. ✗ Overstuffing the body which can distort the shape; stuff the body tightly but gradually and evenly to keep the smooth tear-drop silhouette. ✗ Cutting yarn tails before assembly when starting the body from the second ear; leave the yarn tail from the second ear to continue and join the body seamlessly.

Assembly Instructions

  • For the first ear, join with slip stitch in the first stitch and fasten off; for the second ear, do not join—leave the yarn attached and use it to start the body at rnd 1.
  • Insert safety eyes 3 stitches apart between rounds 27 and 28 of the body, before stuffing the body.
  • Do not stuff the ears; insert folded wire into each ear for posability, then position and sew the base of the ears securely to the top of the body as instructed.
  • Stuff the body tightly and evenly, then sew the bottom piece to the last round of the body using the long end left from the bottom piece and a whipstitch for a neat join.
  • Embroider a small x-cross mouth between the eyes on round 28 using Black DK yarn for the cute facial detail.

Important Notes

  • 💡Work in continuous rounds; do not join or turn unless the pattern explicitly instructs you to do so to maintain correct shaping.
  • 💡Mark the first stitch of each round to keep track of rounds and avoid accidental increases or decreases.
  • 💡Insert safety eyes between rounds 27-28 and position them 3 stitches apart before stuffing the body.
  • 💡Do not stuff the ears; only the body should be stuffed to preserve the intended ear shape and allow for wire insertion.
  • 💡Fold the wire and insert into the ears carefully, ensuring the folded ends are secured and the wire does not poke through the stitches.
