About This Bunny Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a charming long-eared bunny with a weighted, tear-drop shaped body and posable ears using an internal wire. Youll work in continuous rounds and use simple shaping to achieve a neat, rounded body. The design is versatile and can be made in three different sizes by changing yarn and hook.

Why You'll Love This Bunny Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple single crochet rounds into a delightful, expressive bunny with minimal sewing. I enjoyed designing the ears to be posable using a folded wire — it gives lots of personality to the finished toy. I love that the pattern is easy to scale for three different sizes by changing yarn and hook. I also appreciate how the continuous rounds keep the shape smooth and tidy, making assembly quick and satisfying.

Switch Things Up

I love to customize this bunny by changing yarn colors and textures to create different personalities and moods.

Swap the chunky yarn for a thinner DK yarn and use a smaller hook to make a petite, delicate bunny perfect for keychains or small gifts.

For a bold, oversized version I hold four strands of DK together and use a larger hook to create a chunky, squishy companion that makes a wonderful pillow-like toy.

I often experiment with ear shapes — try widening the ears slightly or shortening them for a different expression and silhouette.

Add embroidered eyebrows or different mouth shapes to change the bunny's expression from playful to sleepy or surprised.

Try safety eyes of different sizes or use embroidered eyes for a fully soft, baby-safe toy option.

Use variegated or striped yarn for fun color transitions down the body, or add a small crocheted bow or scarf for personality.

I sometimes add a small felt heart or patch to the belly for a personalized touch, stitching it firmly in place for durability.

Want a weighted bottom for stability? Add a small pouch of poly pellets inside the lower stuffing before closing the bottom piece.

Mix yarn fibers like a fuzzy mohair for a soft, whimsical finish on the ears or body for a uniquely textured result.

Consider painting or coating the wire ends slightly before insertion if youre concerned about any potential sharpness, then hide them well inside the ear tops.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the instruction to work in continuous rounds causes visible seams and misaligned shaping; always work in continuous rounds and mark the first stitch of each round. ✗ Fastening off the second ear before joining can make the body join messy; do not fasten off the second ear — use its working yarn to start the body as instructed. ✗ Forgetting to insert and fold the wire properly makes ears floppy or pokey; fold the wire in half and fold the ends before inserting, then place it centrally inside each ear for safe, stable posability. ✗ Not stuffing the body firmly yields a saggy shape that flattens the bunny; stuff the body tightly and evenly before sewing the bottom piece in place to maintain a rounded silhouette. ✗ Placing safety eyes without counting stitches leads to uneven features; insert the safety eyes three stitches apart and position them between the specified rounds for correct facial placement.

Assembly Instructions

  • Insert the safety eyes 3 stitches apart between rounds 27-28 and secure the back fasteners before finishing the head area.
  • Do not stuff the ears; fold and insert the folded iron wire inside each ear, then shape and hide the ends inside the ear top.
  • Stuff the body firmly and evenly before attaching the bottom; sew the bottom piece to the last round of the body using the long tail left from the bottom and a whipstitch.
  • For the first ear join with a slip stitch in the first stitch and fasten off; for the second ear do not slip stitch or fasten off because its working yarn is used to start the body.
  • Position and pin the ears symmetrically at the top of the body before permanently sewing them in place to ensure even spacing.
  • Embroider a little x-cross for the mouth with Black DK yarn between the eyes on the round indicated (rnd 28) to finish the face.

Important Notes

  • 💡Work in continuous rounds and mark the first stitch of each round to avoid losing track of your place.
  • 💡Do not stuff the ears; only stuff the body tightly to keep a neat silhouette and allow safe insertion of wire into ears.
  • 💡Fold the iron wire ends before inserting into the ear to avoid sharp points and ensure safe, smooth assembly.
