Why You'll Love This Bunny Stacking Toy Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it's so much more than just a cute toy! Creating something that's both educational and entertaining for children fills my heart with joy.

Switch Things Up

I absolutely love experimenting with this versatile pattern! One of my favorite modifications is changing up the color scheme to match different themes or nursery decors. Instead of the turquoise and yellow stripes, I've created versions with soft pastels for spring, or bold primary colors for a more vibrant look. You could even make it match a specific color palette by using shades of pink and gray for a modern aesthetic, or go with earthy tones like sage green and cream for a more natural, bohemian feel.

Another fun variation I enjoy is adding different facial expressions to the bunny head. Instead of the classic sweet face, try creating a sleepy bunny with closed eyes, or add rosy cheeks using pink embroidery thread for extra cuteness. You could even make different animal heads - a bear, cat, or elephant would work wonderfully with the same base and ring structure!

For those wanting to personalize it even further, consider adding small embroidered details like flowers on the rings, or tiny bows between the bunny's ears. I've also experimented with adding a small pocket to one of the rings where children can store tiny treasures. The striped pattern on the middle and small rings can be modified too - try alternating more colors, making thinner or wider stripes, or even creating a gradient effect by using different shades of the same color family.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not stuffing the base firmly enough which can cause the toy to tip over or become unstable during play ✗ Forgetting to change to Front Loop Only or Back Loop Only when instructed which affects the structural integrity of rings ✗ Miscounting stitches during the increase and decrease rounds leading to misshapen rings that won't stack properly together ✗ Not leaving long enough tails when fastening off pieces making assembly difficult and creating weak attachment points that may come loose

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the completed legs to the base of the body, making sure to pin them in place first for proper positioning and stability.
  • Attach the pink feet to the bottom of each leg, then sew three toes to each foot following the pattern pictures for placement.
  • Stack all three rings (large, middle, and small) on top of the base in order of size from largest to smallest.
  • Connect the arms to the small ring during round 8 as specified in the pattern, ensuring they're evenly spaced.
  • Sew pink palms to the ends of each arm using the tails left from fastening off.
  • Attach the completed head to the top of the small ring, making sure the neck portion sits securely.
  • Position and sew the ears to the top of the head, then add facial features including nose and eyebrows as shown in the pattern pictures.
  • Create a 6 cm diameter pom pom with white yarn and attach it to the bottom back of the base for the bunny tail.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers throughout the project to keep track of rounds, especially during the extensive base construction with many increase and decrease rounds
  • 💡Pay special attention to FLO and BLO instructions as they are critical for connecting pieces properly and creating the right structure
  • 💡Stuff each ring firmly before closing to ensure they maintain their shape and provide proper weight for stacking stability
  • 💡When changing colors in the striped rings, carry the yarn inside rather than cutting to avoid excessive weaving in of ends
  • 💡Pin all pieces before sewing to check positioning and proportion - this is especially important for the legs and arms placement
  • 💡The base requires substantial stuffing to create a stable foundation that won't tip over when the rings are stacked
  • 💡Leave long tails when fastening off all pieces to make assembly easier and more secure

You ask,

we answer.

FAQs

What yarn weight is best for this stacking toy pattern?

The pattern specifies Alize Cotton Gold which is a DK/light worsted weight yarn (category 3). Using this weight with a 3mm hook creates a tight fabric that's perfect for toy safety and durability. You can substitute with any cotton or cotton-blend DK yarn.

How do I ensure the rings stack properly?

The key to proper stacking is maintaining consistent tension throughout and stuffing each ring firmly but evenly. Follow the stitch counts precisely during increase and decrease rounds. The rings should have a slight dome shape when completed, which helps them nest together perfectly.

Can I make this toy machine washable?

Yes! Since the pattern uses cotton yarn and fiberfill stuffing, the toy can be machine washed on a gentle cycle in a laundry bag. Make sure all pieces are securely sewn before washing. Air dry flat to maintain shape.

How do I attach the legs to make the toy stable?

Position the legs on opposite sides of the base before pinning them in place. Sew them securely using a whip stitch or ladder stitch, making sure they're even so the toy doesn't lean. The base should sit flat when the legs are properly attached.

What's the finished size of the completed stacking toy?

The finished toy stands approximately 25-30 cm tall when fully assembled with all rings stacked. The base is about 12-14 cm in diameter, making it the perfect size for little hands to grasp and stack.

How do I change colors smoothly in the striped rings?

To change colors, complete the last stitch of the old color until two loops remain on your hook, then yarn over with the new color and pull through both loops. Carry the unused color inside the ring as you work to minimize ends to weave in later.
