Why You'll Love This Straight Bunny 2-in-1 Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this Straight Bunny pattern because it gives you two adorable sizes in one comprehensive guide! The versatility means I can create matching bunny families or choose the perfect size for different occasions. I appreciate how the pattern breaks down each step with clear photos and helpful tips, making even tricky techniques like invisible decreases easy to master. The embroidered facial features give each bunny so much personality, and I love that the pattern includes guidance for creating those sweet expressions. The addition of the cute teal scarf adds a finishing touch that makes these bunnies feel extra special and gift-ready.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with different color combinations for these adorable bunnies! While the pattern uses classic Paper White, I've created versions in soft pastels like baby pink, lavender, and mint green that look absolutely precious. For a more rustic look, I've tried natural beige and cream tones that give the bunny a vintage charm.

The scarf is another fantastic place to get creative - I've used variegated yarns that create beautiful color gradients, added stripes by changing colors every few rows, or even crocheted tiny flowers to embellish plain scarves. Some of my favorite variations include making seasonal bunnies with festive colored scarves for holidays.

I've also played with the facial expressions by adjusting the embroidery placement slightly. Moving the eyes closer or further apart, changing the nose shape, or adding rosy cheeks with a bit of pink embroidery thread gives each bunny its own unique personality. For children's gifts, I sometimes use larger safety eyes (within safe limits) to create a more cartoonish, playful look.

Size-wise, I've made entire bunny families by adjusting hook sizes while keeping the same pattern - using a 2.5mm hook with DK yarn creates an even tinier pocket bunny, while a 4.5mm hook with chunky yarn makes a super cuddly oversized version. The pattern is wonderfully versatile and really rewards creative experimentation!

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not stuffing the legs firmly enough before joining them together, which can cause the bunny to be unstable and wobbly when standing upright ✗ Forgetting to place stitch markers when joining the two legs, making it difficult to track where rounds begin and end throughout the body ✗ Inserting safety eyes too late in the process, which makes it challenging to position them correctly and secure the backing washer properly ✗ Over-stuffing the ears when they should remain flat and floppy, which changes the characteristic look of the straight bunny design ✗ Not counting stitches carefully during increase and decrease rounds, leading to uneven shaping in the head and body sections

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach ears to head between 3rd and 7th rounds counting from the top magic ring.
  • Sew arms to body between last two rounds using 4 holes for each arm placement.
  • Attach tail to bottom back of body in the best position for balance.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers consistently when joining legs and throughout body rounds to maintain correct stitch count
  • 💡Test both 3.00mm and 3.50mm hooks with your yarn to find which creates the tightest, neatest stitches
  • 💡Insert safety eyes before stuffing and closing the head as they cannot be added later
  • 💡Do not stuff the ears or arms with fibrefill to maintain their characteristic floppy appearance
  • 💡Pin all body parts in place before sewing to ensure proper positioning and symmetry
  • 💡Leave yarn tails long enough for sewing (at least 12 inches) to make assembly easier
  • 💡Weave in the small yarn tail from first leg into second leg after joining to keep interior neat

FAQs

Can I use a different yarn weight for this pattern?

While the pattern is designed for aran/worsted weight yarn, you can use different weights with corresponding hook size adjustments. Just remember to use a hook at least one size smaller than the yarn label suggests to create tight stitches that hide the stuffing. Your finished bunny will be smaller or larger depending on your yarn choice.

Do I need to know how to do invisible decreases before starting?

The pattern includes detailed instructions for invisible decreases with step-by-step guidance. This technique creates a neater finish than regular decreases, and the pattern explains exactly how to insert your hook into front loops and complete the stitch. It's a great skill to learn through this project!

How do I embroider the facial features if I've never done embroidery before?

The pattern provides detailed photos showing exactly where to insert your needle for each facial feature, with specific hole numbers marked. You'll use about 50cm of embroidery thread and follow the step-by-step images to create the nose, mouth, and eye details. The instructions show you how to secure everything neatly.

Can I make the bunny without the scarf accessory?

Absolutely! The scarf is an optional accessory that adds a cute finishing touch, but your bunny will be complete without it. You could also substitute a ribbon bow or create a different accessory if you prefer.

Why shouldn't I stuff the ears and arms?

The Straight Bunny design features characteristic floppy ears and flexible arms that give it a distinctive relaxed posture. Stuffing these parts would make them stiff and change the bunny's classic appearance. The pattern specifically notes to keep them unstuffed for the proper look.

What's the best way to join the two legs without gaps?

The pattern includes detailed photos showing the chain connection between legs and exactly where to place your stitchmarker. The key is to crochet tightly around both legs and the chains, then weave in the small yarn tail from the first leg through the stitches into the second leg to close any small gaps.
