I absolutely love this rabbit pattern because it combines simplicity with such charming results! The construction flows smoothly from head to body in one continuous piece, which means less sewing and more time enjoying the creative process. I find the ear-shaping technique particularly satisfying—watching those floppy bunny ears come to life is pure magic. The facial sculpting step adds such character and personality, transforming simple stitches into an expressive little friend. Plus, working with plush yarn makes every stitch feel like a cozy hug, and the final result is so irresistibly soft that you won't want to put it down!
I love how versatile this rabbit pattern is for creative customization! You can easily switch up the colors to create a whole bunny family—try pastels for Easter bunnies, or go bold with bright rainbow colors for a modern twist. If you want to add more personality, consider crocheting a tiny flower crown for the ears, or make a miniature carrot accessory using orange and green yarn.
For a completely different look, I sometimes work this pattern in cotton yarn instead of plush yarn, which gives the rabbit a more structured, vintage-inspired appearance that's perfect for decorative pieces. You can also experiment with ear length by adding or removing rows in the ear pattern—longer ears create a lop-eared bunny effect, while shorter ears give you an adorable baby bunny look.
If you're feeling adventurous, try adding embroidered details like whiskers using embroidery floss, or stitch a sweet little smile beneath the nose. Some makers love adding a pompom tail instead of the crocheted version for extra fluffiness. The possibilities are endless, and each small change creates a completely unique rabbit with its own special character!

The finished rabbit measures approximately 18 cm (7 inches) tall when using size 4mm hook and Himalaya Dolphin Baby yarn or equivalent bulky plush yarn.
Yes! While the pattern recommends Himalaya Dolphin Baby yarn, you can use any bulky weight plush yarn. Just note that different yarns may result in slightly different sizes, so adjust your hook size accordingly.
Yes, this pattern works in continuous spiral rounds without joining. Using a stitch marker to track the beginning of each round is essential for keeping count and achieving the right shape.
Absolutely! Just make sure to securely attach all safety eyes and the nose, and use child-safe stuffing. For very young children, consider embroidering the eyes instead of using plastic safety eyes.
The pattern creates naturally floppy ears, but if you want them more upright, you can insert thin floral wire into the ears before sewing them to the head, or stuff them more firmly and sew them at a different angle.
