Crochet Bunny In A Dress Tutorial
Crocheting this easy bunny in dress amigurumi involves making the legs, then connecting them to form the body, and finally adding the arms and ears.
This adorable bunny can be used as a lovely gift, a decorative piece, or a girl's toy. You can adjust the size of this amigurumi bunny all using different crochet hooks and yarn sizes. Below are the important video notes:
- Making the Legs: Start with a magic ring and 6 single crochet stitches for each leg. Round 2 involves increases in every stitch, followed by several rounds of single crochets to shape the leg. You will connect the legs by crocheting a chain of 3 stitches between them.
- Body Construction: After connecting the legs, work in continuous rounds of single crochet. The body involves gradual decreases and colour changes for the dress pattern. The use of different colours, such as white and yellow, in alternating rounds creates stripes for the dress.
- Creating the Dress: The dress is crocheted in layers, starting with the body in alternating colours (yellow, orange, etc.) and then attaching ruffles to the front loops of a specific round to give the dress a fuller appearance.
- Adding Ruffles: Make ruffles by attaching yarn to the front loops left from a previous round, with double crochet increases. Alternating colours in the ruffles (yellow, and orange) add contrast to the design.
- Making the Arms and Head: Both arms are crocheted separately with a magic ring foundation, and then attached to the body. The head is crocheted starting from a magic ring, with rounds of single crochet and gradual increases to form a rounded shape.
- Final Assembly: After crocheting the ears and hat, they are sewn onto the head. The eyes are glued on, and optional embroidery around the eyes adds more detail. A small nose is stitched using brown thread, and a blush can be added for extra cuteness.
