Free Crochet Bunny pattern

… or BUNNIES PATTERN!

Bunny season (aka Easter) is getting close. I can’t wait to have some time off work! In the meantime I have to crochet between my long shifts!

The bunnies are based off my mini bear and my minimeu pattern

INFORMATION:
Working time: Approx ∼ 2 -4 hours/each
Size: height ∼10 cm (depending on yarn/hook)

Equipements; this project is perfect for left over yarn, as you don’t need much. I prefer cotton yarn tho. Make the bunny any color, I made mine white. Adjust your hook size to be suitable for the yarn you use (make sure to use a hook on the lower range of the recommended size for your yarn)
Here are my yarn suggestions; DROPS SafranDMC Natura Just CottonSchachenmayr Catania Dale Vipe

Hook size 2.0-2.5(-3.0) mm
You’ll also need safety eyes, filling (like poleyester filling), a needle, and pink stamp or something similar if you’d like to make «blush»

Abbreviation
Regular us terms
Inc – 2 sc in one (increase)
Dec – 2sc together (decrease)

Make sure to fill as you go. Arms are attached to body in the end. Fasten off loose thread (hide them inside the doll), and cut off.

  1. Hello, Thanks for the pattern. If I wish to make hair for the boy, which row should I change from hair colour to skin colour?
