About this pattern

This pattern builds a small crocheted rabbit from Himalaya Velvet yarn on a 3.0 mm hook, with a white Alize Softy muzzle and a YarnArt Jeans nose. Legs form first, join at Part 2 into a 20-stitch body, then decrease rounds — R8 to 15 stitches, R10 to 10 — shape the head. Finished height measures 13 cm (5.1″). Safety eyes sized 6-8 mm and fiberfill complete the amigurumi.

This bunny amigurumi starts with two legs crocheted separately, then joins into a single body round — Part 2 opens with 8 sc across each leg plus 2 sc in the 2-chain gap on both sides, for a 20-stitch base. Himalaya Velvet yarn gives the finished piece its plush surface, while a separate white Alize Softy muzzle and a YarnArt Jeans nose add contrast against it. The body narrows through decrease rounds like R8's (2 sc, dec) repeat and R10's (1 sc, dec) repeat down to 10 stitches before closing. Finished height runs 13 cm (5.1″).

Tester's notes

3.0 mm hook stays constant across the Himalaya Velvet, YarnArt Jeans, and Alize Softy sections — no size changes between yarns despite the fiber differences.

Place the stitch marker at the start of Part 2's round, on the back of the body, before working the first 8 sc — losing track here throws off where the second leg's 2 sc in 2 ch lands.

R8's (2 sc, dec) repeat and R10's (1 sc, dec) repeat land on round numbers 8 and 10 — count stitches after each repeat set (15, then 10) rather than trusting stitch position alone.

6-8 mm eyes need placement before the head closes fully; check position against the 13 cm (5.1″) target body before pinning with sewing pins.

Gauge check

Check that the 20-stitch join round of Part 2 lies flat with no gaps between the leg stitches and the 2-chain sections.

If something looks wrong

The leg-to-body join in Part 2 leaves a gap instead of 20 clean stitches.: The 2 sc worked into the 2-chain space on each side got skipped or doubled; recount to confirm 8 sc plus 2 sc plus 8 sc plus 2 sc equals 20 before moving to the next round.
The head narrows unevenly after the R8 decrease round.: The (2 sc, dec) repeat was not worked exactly five times, leaving a count other than 15; unravel to the start of R8 and repeat the five sets, checking the count after each one.
The opening at R10 will not close snugly around the fiberfill.: The (1 sc, dec) repeat five times should land on 10 stitches; if the opening is larger, a decrease was skipped, so recheck the round before stuffing and cinching.
The nose or muzzle sits off-center on the finished bunny.: The YarnArt Jeans nose and white Alize Softy muzzle were pinned before the head reached its shaped, decreased state; pin both pieces only after R10's final round is complete and the head has taken its finished shape.

Yarn substitutions

Worsted-weight acrylic velour yarn	Gives a similar plush surface to the polyester velvet called for and works on the same 3.0 mm hook, but drapes slightly stiffer, so fiberfill may need to be packed a touch looser to avoid a hard finished feel.
DK-weight cotton-acrylic blend yarn (matching the 55%/45% cotton-acrylic blend used for the nose)	Produces a smaller finished piece than the 13 cm (5.1″) target at the same stitch count, so sizing up to a 3.5 mm hook restores the original dimension.
Fingering-weight microfiber yarn (in place of the muzzle yarn)	Gives a finer, tighter muzzle fabric; drop to a 2.5 mm hook to keep stitches dense enough to hold its shape against the surrounding velvet body.

FAQs

Questions

Why does the pattern use three different yarns instead of one?

Himalaya Velvet forms the body for its plush surface, YarnArt Jeans forms the nose for firmer definition, and white Alize Softy forms the muzzle for contrast. Each yarn keeps its designated part visually distinct without changing hook size, since all three work on the same 3.0 mm hook.

What is the finished size of this bunny?

The finished body measures 13 cm (5.1″). That figure reflects the stuffed, assembled piece rather than any single flat round.

Where does the stitch marker go, and why does it matter?

Part 2 places it at the beginning of the round, on the back of the body. Losing that marker makes it easy to misjudge where the second leg's 2 sc in 2 ch falls, which throws off the 20-stitch count for the rest of the round.
