About This Bunny with Colorful Ears Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a large, soft bunny with colorful inner ears, a cute bow and a bright belly button accent. It uses plush Himalaya Dolphin Baby yarn for a fluffy finish and is worked mostly in rounds with clear shaping instructions. You will crochet the body and head as one piece and then make legs, arms, ears, tail and a bow to assemble.

Why You'll Love This Bunny with Colorful Ears Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because the plush yarn gives the bunny an irresistible soft texture that children and adults both adore. I enjoy making the body and head as one piece — it creates a stable, neat shape and speeds up assembly. The colorful ears and bow let me add my own personal color choices and make each bunny unique. Sewing the features and cinching the muzzle always brings the character to life, and it is so rewarding to see the simple stitches transform into a sweet companion.

Switch Things Up

I love customizing this bunny by changing the inner ear color or using variegated plush yarn for a unique look.

I often switch the bow color to match seasonal themes — pastel for spring, bright for birthdays, or neutral for a modern nursery.

If you want a smaller version, I change to a lighter weight yarn and a smaller hook; the proportions remain the same.

To make the bunny more poseable, I sometimes add thin wire inside the arms before stuffing so they can be adjusted for holding small props.

I like to embroider different facial expressions with black thread; a small smile or a surprised look gives each bunny personality.

For safer toys for very young children, replace safety eyes with embroidered eyes using the same black embroidery thread used for the muzzle.

I sometimes sew tiny clothes — a scarf or a tiny dress — to create themed gifts that coordinate with room decor.

Try using different yarn textures for the inner ear (e.g., velvet or cotton) to add contrast and a tactile element to the ears.

I recommend testing eye placement with pins before securing them: small changes in height or spacing change the character dramatically.

When making multiple bunnies, I batch-process pieces: make all legs, then all arms, which speeds up production and keeps sizes consistent.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers when instructed can cause misplacement of the muzzle and eyes; place a marker at the belly center as described to guide eye placement and muzzle sewing. ✗ Not stuffing as you go creates lumps or weak shapes later; stuff gradually and firmly at the specified rounds so the body and head keep their intended silhouette. ✗ Forgetting to change color exactly where indicated will make ear and foot details uneven; switch yarn color on the round shown and carry or fasten off tails neatly. ✗ Pulling your tension too tight with plush yarn can flatten the texture and make sewing difficult; use a relaxed, even tension to keep the plush look soft and pliable.

— Assembling and Decorating :

Info :

Cinch the muzzle: Use the cream yarn for cinching. Insert the needle at the base of the muzzle, in between R26 and R27 (at Point 1, where we did 12 dec and 12 inc) and exit near the left eye (Point 2). Skip 1-2 sc and again insert the needle (Point 3) and back to the starting point (Point 1). Skip 1 sc to secure the end. Repeat for the second eye socket (insert the needle in Point, then 5, and go back to Point 1). Repeat if necessary. After cinching, weave in the ends.

Info :

Using black embroidery thread, sew the brows and the line from the nose to the mouth (place of cinching in Point 1). Attach the nose with glue. Sew the hands in between R26 and 27. Sew the legs precisely under the arms in R7. Place the ears onto the head, choose the position you like most; sew. I sew on the top of the head, with 4-5 sc in between. Sew the bow near the ear. Sew the belly button with the bright pink yarn (the same color as the bow).

Info :

Your bunny is ready!

Assembly Instructions

  • Cinch the muzzle using cream yarn: insert the needle at the base of the muzzle between R26 and R27, exit near the left eye, skip 1-2 sc and reinsert, then return to the starting point; repeat and weave in ends.
  • Using black embroidery thread, sew the brows and the line from the nose to the mouth (place of cinching in Point 1) and attach the nose with glue.
  • Sew the hands in between rounds R26 and R27 on either side of the body and secure them firmly with hidden stitches.
  • Sew the legs precisely under the arms at R7 so the bunny sits balanced, using pins to check placement before stitching.
  • Place the ears onto the top of the head with about 4-5 sc between them, then sew through both ear layers and secure the tails.
  • Attach the bow near one ear and sew the bright pink belly button onto the belly using yarn of the same color as the bow.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers to mark the center of the belly and important rounds to guide eye and muzzle placement for accurate assembly.
  • 💡Stuff firmly but gradually: overstuffing changes shape while understuffing makes the toy floppy; aim for even, consistent stuffing.
  • 💡Weave in ends as you go when possible and leave long tails where pieces will be sewn to make assembly easier.
  • 💡When changing colors, secure the old color and carry or fasten off neatly to avoid visible tails in plush yarn.
