About this pattern

This pattern makes a stuffed baby bunny amigurumi worked in continuous rounds from a magic ring, using two hook sizes: 4mm for the head, body, arms, and legs, and 4.5mm for the ears. The head is shaped over 15 rounds with safety eyes added between rounds 10 and 11. The ears grow from a 6-stitch ring to 24 stitches before 15 rounds of decreases bring them back to 10 stitches. Two legs are worked individually, joined, and continued as one piece through 18 rounds to form the body. Arms finish at 10 stitches and are joined to the body. Optional bow and tiny purse accessories need only basic chaining and single crochet rounds.

This baby bunny amigurumi builds from a magic ring in continuous rounds, using two hook sizes: a 4mm hook for the head, body, arms, and legs, and a 4.5mm hook reserved for the ears, which gives them a lovely drape. The head is shaped over 15 rounds, with safety eyes added between rounds 10 and 11. The ears grow from a 6-stitch ring to a 24-stitch round before 15 rounds of decreases bring them back down to 10 stitches. Two legs are worked individually, then joined and continued as one piece through 18 rounds to form the body. Arms are worked separately, then joined to the body. The pattern works with any yarn weight as long as the hook size is matched to it.

Round 2Increase around (10)
Round 3Single crochet around in back loops only (10)
Rounds 4–8Single crochet around (10) for 5 rounds totalStuff lightly and fasten off with a long tail. Flatten the top of the arm to create a sewing surface that will make attachment to the body easier.(10)

Assembly

Step 1Attach the head to the body using your long tail and tapestry needle.
Step 2Sew the ears to the head between rounds 4 and 5. You may need to angle them slightly between the rows. Position the back of the ears about 6 stitches apart, though you can adjust this spacing for different looks.
Step 3Attach the arms to round 17 of the body (the last round).
Step 4Embroider the nose using pink yarn between the eyes, approximately 2-3 stitches away from each eye.
Step 5Optional: Add blush under the eyes for extra cuteness.
Step 6Adorable Bows: Chain 40 or adjust the length to measure approximately 8-9 inches. Fasten off and either weave in ends or double knot them. Insert your hook into the stitch just in front of your bunny’s ear, pull the bow through, tie a knot, and then tie your bow. Position as desired.
Step 7Tiny Purse: Round 1 : Single crochet 6 in magic ring (6)
Step 8Round 2 : Increase around (12)
Step 9Round 3 : Single crochet around in back loops only (12)
Step 10Round 4 : Single crochet around (12) Keep the last loop on your hook, fold the purse in half, and single crochet the next stitch and last stitch together. Chain 10 for the strap. While folded in half, single crochet the last two stitches of the purse together. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Tester's notes

Maintain consistent tension throughout your work for an even appearance.

Stuff firmly but not too tightly to maintain the bunny’s soft, cuddly feel.

Use stitch markers to track your rounds if you find it helpful.

Take your time with assembly—proper positioning makes all the difference.

Customize freely—try different yarn colors, eye placements, or bow styles.

FAQs

Questions

Can a different yarn weight replace the chunky yarn called for?

Yes—you can use yarn of any weight as long as you match it with the appropriate hook size, keeping the same two-hook relationship: one hook for the body pieces, one size up for the ears.

How does the second leg attach to the body?

After round 6 of the second leg, a chain-2 is made and held on the hook instead of being fastened off. Round 7 then works into both legs and the two chains together, joining them into one continuous body piece.
