About This Bunny Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a charming teardrop-shaped bunny with long ears that can be wired for posability. You will work ears first and then join the second ear to continue crocheting the body in continuous rounds. The pattern is designed for a medium-sized bunny using chunky yarn and a 4.0 mm hook.

Why You'll Love This Bunny Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple single crochet rounds into a characterful bunny with minimal shaping. I enjoy how quickly each bunny comes together, making it perfect for gifts and stash-busting. The wired ears add a playful, poseable element that I find so charming. I also love that the pattern scales easily—changing yarn and hook gives instant variety for different uses and personalities.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with colorways on this pattern; try variegated yarns for playful stripes or soft pastels for a nursery-friendly look.

You can change the size easily by switching yarn weight and hook size: a 3 mm hook with lightweight yarn makes a tiny keychain version, while holding four strands of DK on a 6 mm hook makes a large plush bunny.

I often embroider different mouth shapes or add tiny felt cheeks to change the bunny's expression and personality.

To make the ears floppy instead of poseable, omit the wire and lightly stiffen the ears with a fabric stiffener or leave them natural for a softer look.

Try attaching tiny crocheted accessories like a scarf, bow, or a little flower to give each bunny its own character.

If you want a safer toy for babies, replace safety eyes with embroidered eyes using black yarn to avoid any small parts.

I sometimes use cotton yarn for a firmer finish that holds stitch definition, or acrylic for machine-washable bunnies that are easier to care for.

For a weighted bottom, insert a small pouch of plastic pellets inside the base before stuffing to make the bunny sit more stably.

You can make a family set by varying yarn textures—use boucle yarn for a furry effect or metallic accents for a festive version.

Experiment with ear length by adding or removing rounds in the ear section; longer or shorter ears alter the character dramatically and are fun to customize.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the stitch marker at the first stitch of the body join can make it hard to identify round starts; place a marker at the marked first stitch and move it each round to stay on track. ✗ Fastening off the second ear too early will prevent joining it to start the body; leave the second ear yarn attached and do not fasten off until the body is complete. ✗ Stuffing the ears will make them bulky and prevent neat wiring; do not stuff ears—insert the wire and only stuff the body tightly for shape. ✗ Forgetting to leave a long tail when making the bottom circle will make sewing the bottom on difficult; leave a long sewing tail on the bottom piece to attach to the body securely.

Info :

With Black DK yarn embroider a little x-cross between the eyes on rnd 28.

Assembly Instructions

  • Insert one pair of 9 mm safety eyes 3 stitches apart between rounds 27-28 of the body before stuffing is complete and securing the top rounds.
  • Do not stuff the ears; fold and insert the folded 12-inch 18-gauge wire inside each ear for posability, then position ears on the top of the body.
  • Stuff the body tightly with polyester fiberfill before attaching the bottom piece; use the long end left on the bottom piece to sew the bottom to the last round of the body securely.
  • Sew the bottom piece to the body using the long tail left from joining the bottom (sl st and fasten off round) and a yarn needle, making sure edges align evenly.
  • Embroider a small x-cross mouth between the eyes on round 28 using a little black DK yarn to create the facial detail.

Important Notes

  • 💡Work in continuous rounds and do not join or turn unless otherwise stated; always mark the first stitch of each round with a stitch marker.
  • 💡Leave the second ear yarn attached to begin the body; joining and fastening off the first ear as instructed ensures correct orientation.
  • 💡Do not stuff the ears; stuffing will interfere with wiring and ear shaping—only stuff the body tightly for shape.
