About This Cute Bunny Comforter Pattern

This sweet bunny comforter pattern is designed to create a safe and cuddly friend for babies and toddlers. The pattern features a traditional granny square blanket that forms the body, topped with an adorable bunny head complete with long floppy ears and tiny arms. Working in the round for the head and arms, then transitioning to a flat granny square creates interesting texture variations that make this project engaging to create.

Why You'll Love This Cute Bunny Comforter Pattern

I absolutely love how this pattern brings together two classic crochet techniques into one irresistible baby gift! The granny square blanket portion is so relaxing to work on, while the amigurumi-style head and features add that adorable character that makes it truly special. I love that you can customize the colors to match any nursery theme, and the fact that it's completely baby-safe with embroidered features gives such peace of mind. Watching this little bunny come to life as you attach each floppy ear and tiny arm is pure joy, and knowing it will become a cherished comfort object makes every stitch worthwhile.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with this pattern to create different looks and personalities! One of my favorite variations is using pastel rainbow colors for the granny square blanket - it adds such a cheerful, modern touch while keeping the bunny head in a soft cream or white. You could also reverse the concept and make the blanket in a neutral tone while using a vibrant color for the bunny features.

For a more traditional look, I've made this with classic pink or blue, which makes it perfect for gender-specific baby showers. But honestly, some of my favorites have been the unexpected color combinations - like a sage green blanket with a dusty rose bunny, or a soft gray blanket with mint green features. These trendy color palettes look absolutely gorgeous in nursery photos!

If you want to add extra texture, try using a fuzzy or chenille yarn for the bunny head and ears while keeping the blanket in standard worsted weight. This creates a lovely contrast that babies love to touch and explore. You could also experiment with the size of the granny square - making it much larger creates more of a traditional security blanket, while keeping it smaller makes it perfect for tiny hands.

I've also embroidered different facial expressions to give each bunny its own personality - some with sleepy eyes, others with happy smiles, and some with just simple dots for a minimalist Scandinavian aesthetic. Don't be afraid to get creative with your finishing touches!

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Stuffing the head too loosely or too firmly can affect the shape, so stuff gradually and check the roundness as you go to maintain proper proportions ✗ Not keeping stitches tight enough on the head allows stuffing to show through the gaps, so maintain consistent tension throughout all head rounds ✗ Forgetting to use stitch markers when working in continuous rounds leads to losing your place and miscounting stitches in the spiral pattern ✗ Attaching ears and arms before the head is properly stuffed and closed makes positioning difficult, always complete stuffing and fasten off first ✗ Skipping the edging on the ears results in floppy unfinished edges that don't hold their shape nicely when folded and sewn

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the completed bunny head to the center of the granny square blanket using the long tail left from fastening off.
  • Fold each ear in half lengthwise and sew the top edges together to create dimensional, floppy ears.
  • Attach the ears to the top of the head, positioning them symmetrically and securing them firmly with multiple stitches.
  • Sew the arms just beneath the head onto the blanket body using the long tails, positioning them at the sides.
  • Embroider a simple face using yarn and a darning needle - create two small circles for eyes and a Y-shape for the nose and mouth.
  • Weave in all remaining yarn ends securely on the wrong side of the work.

Important Notes

  • 💡Keep stitches tight when working the head to prevent stuffing from showing through the fabric
  • 💡Use stitch markers consistently when working in continuous rounds to avoid losing your place in the pattern
  • 💡Stuff the head firmly but not overly tight to maintain a nice rounded shape
  • 💡Do not stuff the arms - they should remain flat and floppy for safety and proper draping
  • 💡Using yarn for facial features instead of safety eyes makes this completely safe for babies and young children
  • 💡Pin all pieces in place before sewing to ensure proper positioning and symmetry
  • 💡The granny square can be made larger or smaller by adding or reducing the number of rounds

FAQs

Can I use different yarn weights for this pattern?

Yes, you can use different yarn weights, but your finished comforter will be larger or smaller than the original. If using a different weight, adjust your hook size accordingly and be sure to keep stitches tight on the head portion to prevent stuffing from showing through.

How do I make the granny square larger?

Simply continue repeating Round 3 for additional rounds beyond the nine specified in the pattern. Each additional round will increase the size of your blanket. Just remember that you'll need more yarn if making it significantly larger.

Is this safe for newborns?

Yes! This pattern is specifically designed to be baby-safe. The face is embroidered with yarn rather than using safety eyes or buttons, which eliminates any choking hazards. The arms are not stuffed, making them soft and safe for little hands.

Do I need to stuff the arms?

No, the pattern specifically instructs not to stuff the arms. They should remain flat and floppy, which makes them safer for babies and allows them to drape naturally against the blanket body.

What if my granny square is not perfectly square?

Tension variations can affect the shape. Make sure you're working your corner chains (ch2) consistently and that each side has the same number of 3dc clusters. Blocking your finished granny square with steam or water can help even out any irregularities.

Can I make this without the bunny features?

Absolutely! The granny square blanket can stand alone as a beautiful baby blanket. However, the bunny head, ears, and arms are what make this a special comforter toy that babies can grip and cuddle.
