About This Baby Rabbit Amigurumi Pattern

This sweet bunny pattern brings together classic amigurumi techniques with charming details that make it truly special. The pattern works from the head down through the body in one continuous piece, which creates a seamless finish and reduces assembly work. With floppy two-toned ears, delicate embroidered features, and a pompom tail, this rabbit has personality and warmth that shines through every stitch.

Why You'll Love This Baby Rabbit Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines simplicity with adorable results. The way the head and body work as one piece means less sewing at the end, which I always appreciate. The two-color ears give such a professional touch, and watching that little bunny personality emerge as you add the embroidered nose and attach those floppy ears is genuinely magical. It's one of those projects where you can see it coming to life with each round, and the finished bunny has such a sweet, huggable quality that makes all the effort worthwhile.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with this bunny pattern because it's so versatile! Sometimes I make the entire rabbit in one solid color for a minimalist look, or I'll use variegated yarn to create a magical ombre effect from head to toe. I've even tried making seasonal versions - a white winter bunny with a blue scarf, or a pastel Easter version with tiny embroidered flowers on the ears.

One of my favorite modifications is adjusting the ear size by adding or removing rounds to create different bunny personalities. Longer ears make it look more like a lop-eared bunny, while shorter ears give it a baby cottontail vibe. I've also experimented with different eye placements - positioning them slightly lower and farther apart creates an innocent baby look, while higher placement makes the bunny appear more alert and mature.

For special gifts, I sometimes add tiny accessories like a ribbon bow around the neck, a crocheted flower crown, or even a miniature carrot made from orange and green yarn. The possibilities are truly endless, and each variation gives the bunny its own unique character and charm!

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not maintaining tight tension throughout can cause stuffing to show through gaps between stitches especially around the head area ✗ Placing safety eyes incorrectly or too far apart can drastically change the bunny's expression and overall appearance ✗ Overstuffing the neck area between head and body creates an awkward bulge instead of smooth transition ✗ Forgetting to leave the top portions of arms and legs unstuffed makes sewing them flat impossible ✗ Not properly closing the final hole at the bottom can leave visible stuffing and create unstable sitting position

Assembly Instructions

  • Embroider the nose using purple embroidery thread in the center of row 8, creating vertical stitches along 3 stitches and filling horizontally
  • Sew the legs above row 31, positioning them slightly toward the front of the body so the bunny can sit properly
  • Attach the arms just beneath row 19 on either side of the body using the flat piece to closed piece technique
  • Position the ears just beneath row 5 on top of the head, pin in place before sewing to ensure even placement
  • Attach the tail at the bottom center back of the body using the open piece to closed piece sewing method
  • Ensure all yarn tails are knotted securely and hidden inside the body or head after assembly
  • Check that the bunny sits flat and balanced before finalizing all attachments

Important Notes

  • 💡Work in continuous spiral without joining rounds unless specifically instructed to close with slip stitch
  • 💡Crochet tightly to prevent gaps between stitches that would allow stuffing to show through the fabric
  • 💡Use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to mark the beginning or end of rounds, moving it after each round
  • 💡For children under age 3, use embroidered eyes instead of safety eyes and avoid buttons or small parts
  • 💡The pattern can be adjusted to different sizes by using bulkier or finer yarn with appropriate hook size adjustments
  • 💡Leave the top portions of arms and legs unstuffed to allow them to be pressed flat for easier sewing
  • 💡Make sure the bottom of the body is flat when closing so the bunny can sit upright without tipping

FAQs

What size will my finished bunny be?

Using 3.0mm hook and the recommended yarn, your bunny will be approximately 24cm (9.4 inches) tall and 9.5cm (3.7 inches) wide. You can adjust the size by using thicker or thinner yarn with an appropriately sized hook.

Can I use different colors for my rabbit?

Absolutely! While the pattern uses light and dark pink, you can choose any color combination you like. Consider natural bunny colors like white, gray, or brown, or get creative with rainbow or pastel shades.

How do I prevent the stuffing from showing through?

The key is to crochet tightly throughout the entire project. Using a hook one size smaller than recommended on your yarn label helps create a tighter fabric. Also ensure your tension remains consistent as you work.

Is this pattern suitable for beginners?

This pattern is best suited for crocheters with some experience. You should be comfortable with magic ring, single crochet, increases, decreases, and working in continuous rounds. The assembly and embroidery require intermediate skills.

How do I attach the two-colored ears properly?

Crochet one piece in each color, place them wrong sides together, then single crochet through both pieces simultaneously around the edge. After joining, fold the ear in half and sew 4 stitches together before attaching to the head.

What's the best way to position the safety eyes?

Place the eyes on round 8 with 8 stitches (7 holes) between them. Pin them in place first to check the expression before securing permanently, as they cannot be repositioned once attached.
