This bunny amigurumi crochet pattern is the perfect project for creating a charming and whimsical plush toy. With its large floppy ears, colorful outfit, and cute facial details, this bunny will make a delightful gift or a special addition to your handmade collection. Follow this step-by-step guide to bring this adorable bunny to life with your crochet hook.
Let me tell you — few things bring me as much joy as making a sweet little Bunny Amigurumi. There’s just something so soft and heartwarming about those long floppy ears, tiny paws, and that fluffy little tail. It’s the kind of project that makes you smile from the first stitch to the last.
This Bunny Amigurumi Crochet is one of my go-to gifts for baby showers, springtime decor, Easter baskets, or just because! I love how versatile the design is — you can change up the colors, add a bow or a flower crown, embroider sleepy eyes or wide sparkly ones… each bunny ends up with its own personality. I’ve even made one holding a tiny crochet carrot, and it was adorable!
For this particular Bunny Amigurumi Crochet, I used soft pastel yarn (cotton or plush acrylics work beautifully), a 2.5–3.5mm hook, and polyfill stuffing. The body is made in one piece from the feet up, with the arms, ears, and tail sewn on afterward. The stitch work is pretty beginner-friendly — mostly single crochet, with some increases and decreases — so it’s a lovely project for both beginners and seasoned crocheters who want a relaxing make.
And the best part? It comes together fast! You can easily finish one in an afternoon with a cozy drink nearby and your favorite playlist or podcast going. There’s just something magical about seeing a tiny bunny form between your fingers.
Honestly, it’s hard to stop at just one. Once you make a Bunny Amigurumi Crochet, you’ll want to make a whole family of them — and maybe even name them too.
How to Crochet a Bunny Amigurumi Crochet
Oh my goodness, this bunny amigurumi was such a joy to make! From the moment I started crocheting those big floppy ears, I knew it was going to be something special. The pattern is super fun and relaxing — perfect for when you want to just sit down with a cup of tea and let your hands do the magic.
To crochet this bunny amigurumi, start by selecting soft yarn in soothing pastel tones for the body and bright, vibrant colors for the outfit. You’ll begin by crocheting the head, body, and limbs separately before assembling them. The large ears and the intricate, colorful outfit are what make this bunny stand out, so be sure to take your time with these details. This guide will walk you through each step, ensuring you create a perfectly huggable bunny.
Bunny Amigurumi Crochet. Crochet Pattern:
Bunny Amigurumi Crochet. I chose some soft pastel yarn for the body — think baby pinks and sky blues — and then went bold with the outfit! Bright yellows, cheerful greens… honestly, you can really play around with colors here. That’s one of the things I love most about this project: it’s so customizable! Every bunny you make can have its own little personality.
The parts work up separately — head, body, arms, legs — and then you sew everything together. I know sewing can be the part some crocheters dread, but trust me, with this one, it’s worth it. Once you see the ears flopping and the outfit coming together, it’s hard not to fall in love.
And the face? Ugh, the cutest! I embroidered a little smile and added safety eyes, but you could totally play around with expressions or even add little eyelashes. I’ve made a few of these bunnies now — one with a flower crown, another with a tiny bow tie. They make the sweetest gifts for baby showers, birthdays, or even just to brighten up a shelf.
If you’re looking for a project that’s both adorable and satisfying, this is it. One of those pieces that makes you smile every time you look at it.
