About This Rainbow Stacking Rings Bunny Amigurumi Pattern

This charming Montessori toy pattern combines the sweetness of an amigurumi bunny with the educational benefits of stacking rings. Each of the six colorful rings is carefully designed to maintain consistent circumference, creating a perfectly balanced stacking toy that helps develop hand-eye coordination. The pink bunny base features sweet floppy ears and a decorative ruff collar, while a playful pom-pom tail adds an extra touch of whimsy.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with color combinations for this pattern to create completely different moods and styles. Instead of the classic rainbow, I've made versions with ocean blues and greens for a calming effect, or soft pastels for a nursery aesthetic. You could even go bold with neon brights or keep it minimal with neutral tones.

I sometimes add little embellishments to make each bunny unique—a tiny bow between the ears, decorative stitching on the ruff, or even a small embroidered detail on one of the rings. These personal touches make each creation special and one-of-a-kind.

For gifting, I like to make the pom-pom tail extra fluffy and sometimes add a coordinating ribbon around the neck area. You could also customize the ear length for a different look—shorter ears give a more compact appearance, while longer ears create an even sweeter, floppier effect that little ones love to grab and play with.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not maintaining consistent tension when creating the rings, which can result in uneven sizes that don't stack properly together ✗ Overstuffing or understuffing the rings, making them too firm or too floppy instead of achieving the perfect squeezable consistency ✗ Forgetting to leave long yarn tails for sewing pieces together, which means you'll have to weave in ends awkwardly later ✗ Rushing the assembly process without pinning pieces first, leading to crooked or misaligned final construction of the bunny

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the bottom circle to the cone piece, ensuring it's centered and secure for the base of the bunny body.
  • Attach the completed cone to the first purple ring using a needle and matching yarn, sewing carefully around the circumference.
  • Stack all six rings in order (purple, pink, peach, blue, green, yellow) onto the cone to ensure proper fit before final assembly.
  • Position the bunny head on top of the cone structure, with the tunnel portion inserted into the cone opening.
  • Attach the ears to the head between rounds 3 and 5, spacing them 5 stitches apart for symmetrical placement.
  • Add the decorative ruff collar by attaching it to round 20 of the head as specified in the pattern instructions.
  • Create and attach the pom-pom tail to the back of the third ring for a finishing touch.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers consistently to track the end of each round, especially when working on the rings
  • 💡Maintain even tension throughout all pieces to ensure rings are uniform in size and can stack properly
  • 💡Stuff rings gradually as you work, not all at once, to achieve consistent firmness throughout each piece
  • 💡Leave long yarn tails (10-15 cm) when finishing pieces to make assembly easier and more secure
  • 💡Pin all pieces in place before sewing to ensure correct positioning and symmetrical appearance
  • 💡The circumference measurements are important for proper stacking, so check them as you work each ring

FAQs

Can I use different yarn weights for this pattern?

Yes, you can use different yarn weights, but keep in mind that your finished size will vary from the stated 27 cm. If using different yarn, adjust your hook size accordingly and maintain consistent tension throughout all pieces to ensure the rings stack properly together.

How do I ensure all the rings are the same circumference?

The pattern specifies target circumferences (10 cm for rings 1-2, and 9 cm for rings 3-6). Measure each ring as you complete it and adjust your tension or stitching if needed. Consistent stuffing firmness is also crucial for maintaining uniform ring shapes.

Is this toy safe for babies and toddlers?

Yes, when properly constructed with embroidered eyes instead of safety eyes, and all pieces securely sewn together, this makes a safe toy. Always supervise young children during play and regularly check that all components remain firmly attached.

Do I need to make the rings in the exact colors specified?

Not at all! The rainbow gradient is beautiful, but you can customize the colors to match any preference or nursery theme. You could create pastels, neutrals, or any color combination you love while following the same construction technique.

What's the best way to stuff the rings evenly?

Stuff gradually as you crochet, adding small amounts of fiberfill at regular intervals rather than waiting until the end. This ensures even distribution and helps you achieve the right firmness without creating lumpy or misshapen rings.
