Skills Needed: The amigurumi bunny starts with a magic ring for the body and head combo (a round) and then adds details like eyes, ears, nose, and legs. You will need basic amigurumi crochet skills including single crochet, increasing, and invisible decreasing to shape the bunny. Ears and legs will also be crocheted by working in the round. However, the bow can be working flat. Some sewing and embroidery are also required.

Guide Span: About 46 Minutes.

Personalization Tips: Pastels like baby blue, brown and white are popular options, while bold colours like lilac or sunshine yellow can add a unique touch. Turn this amigurumi bunny into a crochet bunny keychain by using ordinary cotton yarn. For a masculine, look, omit the bow hair clip.

The beginner-friendly tutorial at the end includes creating the head, body, legs, and ears in a straightforward way with minimal yarn. With easy instructions for adding details like eyes, a nose, and optional bow decorations, this project is a fun and quick way to start crocheting amigurumi toys. Here is a quick guide for crocheting this:

Creating the Bunny’s Body and Head: The body and head are made as a single sphere. Begin with a magic ring, then increase rounds to shape the head, and decrease for the body’s closure. The creator recommends using a stitch marker to keep track of rounds.
Adding Eyes and Stuffing: Place safety eyes between rounds 8 and 9 of the head, with about six stitches between them. Stuff the body with fiberfill, taking care to distribute it evenly.
Making the Nose: Use a contrasting yarn colour to embroider a small nose between the eyes, using simple stitches.
Crocheting and Attaching Ears: Each ear is made from a small crochet circle with increases and decreases. Attach the ears on top of the head for a “droopy ear” look.
Making Legs and Feet: Make two small legs, each starting from a magic ring. Attach them securely to the bottom of the body.
Optional Flower Decoration: Small flowers are made with a mini magic ring and are used as a decorative touch, stitched onto the bunny’s head.
