The Pretty Bunny Amigurumi Pattern will help you to create a crochet toy with a lot of cute details. This lovely amigurumi bunny is an ideal Easter gift for kids or for those who’re young at heart!
The pattern is of high difficulty. It was designed for advanced skill level crocheters. So, it’s not recommended to start with if you’re a beginner.
Supplies:
- Fine (4 ply) yarn – Yarnart Jeans (55% cotton, 45% acrylic; 160 m / 50 g)
- 2.0 mm crochet hook by Tulip
- 10 mm safety eyes
- Pink embroidery floss for nose
- Fiberfill for stuffing
- Some wire for arms (optional)
- Two buttons for shoes
- Long large eye needles
The finished crochet bunny is about 22 cm (8.7”) tall without ears, and 31 cm (12”) with ears. The size of the toy depends on the yarn thickness, crochet hook and tightness of stitches. If you use thicker yarn, your bunny will be bigger.
Skill level: advanced

Find Rnd 15 on the muzzle. Then find 4 sc between the increases. This is the center of the muzzle. Take it into account when placing the eyes.
Insert safety eyes between Rnd 14 and Rnd 15, at 10 st in between the eyes. Don’t fasten the eyes with caps, as they can prevent from making muzzle indents. You will secure the eyes with a drop of crystal glue when the indents are done.

Rnd 28: (sc in next 2 st, dec) repeat 6 times [18]
Rnd 29: (sc in next st, dec) repeat 6 times [12]
Finish with sl st. Fasten off and weave in the end. Stuff tightly.
Marking the main muzzle points:
Mark the nose with pins symmetrically in relation to the eyes – 6 sc in width and 2 rnds in height:
- Upper points are between Rnd 15 and Rnd 16.
- Lower points are between Rnd 17 and Rnd 18.
Mark the mouth with pins slightly aside from the nose (please look at the picture):
- Pin #5 is placed between Rnd 20 and Rnd 21.
- Pin #6 is placed between Rnd 21 and Rnd 22.
- Pin #7 is placed between Rnd 22 and Rnd 23.
- Pin #8 is placed between Rnd 23 and Rnd 24.
Eye points:
- Point #1 is located under the left safety eye from the left.
- Point #2 is located under the left safety eye from the right.
- Point #3 is located under the right safety eye from the right.
- Point #4 is located under the right safety eye from the left.
Making muzzle indents:
Step 1. Take a long needle with white thread, make a knot at the end of the thread. Insert the needle from the inside (through the neck hole) and draw it out the Point #1. Step down a little bit (to seize the stitch) and insert the needle near the Point #1, then draw it out the Point #3. Pull slightly.
Step 2. Insert the needle in the Point #4, and draw it out the Point #2. Pull slightly.
Step 3. Step down a little bit and insert the needle near the Point #2, and draw the needle out the Point #5.
Step 4. Insert the needle in the Point #6 and draw it out the Point #1. Pull slightly.
Step 5. Insert the needle in the Point #2, and draw the needle out the Point #4. Pull slightly.
Step 6. Insert the needle at the Point #4, and draw it out the Point #7.
Step 7. Insert the needle in the Point #8 and draw it out the Point #4. Pull slightly.
Step 8. Insert the needle in the Point #3, and draw it out the neck hole. Pull slightly and fasten off.
Embroidering a smile:
Step 1. Take the needle with gray or black thread, make a knot at the end of the thread, and insert it in the Point #6 from the inside.
Step 2. Insert the needle in the Point #8 and draw it out the neck hole, forming a smile stitch.
Step 3. Again insert the needle in the Point #6 from the inside. Draw it out.
Step 4. Insert the needle in the Point #5 and draw it out the Point #8.
Step 5. Insert the needle in the Point #7 and draw it out the neck hole.
Fasten off and cut off the thread.
Embroidering a nose.
Check that nose pins are in place after making indents. Correct their location if it’s needed.
Step 1. Embroider the borderlines of the nose. Check that the stitches are even.
Step 2. Embroider the second layer with vertical stitches very neatly and evenly. Insert the needle into the toy right between the rounds, giving the nose a nice shape. Hide the end inside the toy and fix it.
The head is done! To fix the eyes reliably, glue them to the head with a drop of the crystal glue (optional).
Ears (make 2):
Work with white yarn. Don’t stuff.

Do you have this same bunny pattern but with boy’s clothes? I have both pretty in pink and purple but need to make this same bunny in a boys outfit.
I love this bunny of yours, I’ve already made six of them and I have a request for a few more.
I wanted to buy your pattern but for some reason it’s not accepting payments. Wish you sold on Ravelry.
love this…
Danke für diese wunderschöne Anleitung….ich bin zwar noch nicht fertig aber bis jetzt klappt alles sehr gut. Verständliche Beschreibung auch für eine Deutsche 😉
Hej what an adorable pattern, I’ve purchased the pdf and can’t wait to start. Would like to double check if it’s US or UK terms?
Hi 🙂 These are US crochet terms.
merci beaucoup; mon petit fils va adorer; mais ou acheter les yeux s il vous plait; bonne soirée
Je l’ai réalisée 3 fois et j’ai adoré le résultat ♥️
Très bien expliqué 👍

Mulțumesc pentru Pretty Bunny, eu ma descurc f bine cu modelele de la tine.
Hi, thank you so much for sharing this pattern, love it! however I’m still confuse in adding a cotton swab/round wooden stick to the leg & adding a weight in leg. could you give us more detailed description about it? thank you again!
I just finished & I can’t wait to see my granddaughters face when she sees it for Easter
I love all your patterns; am making bunnies and chicks for all my friends and family for Easter. Most of them are my coworkers who I call family. I’m not to good with the faces but your patterns help; I tell them they are one of a kind!!!
Thanks for your beautiful work.

Hi.
Isnt’ it possible to get it in danish text`?
from Hanne
Hej Hanne,
Det finns många översättningar av termer på många språk om du googlar.
Observera att engelska och amerikanska också är olika…
https://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/2014/05/basic-crochet-terms-translated.html
where do you place the tail under the dress or on the dress, sorry confused here
Under the dress on the body 🙂
TY !!
The stitch counts and ending number of stitches are off starting after Row 7 of the feet. HELP! I paid for the PDF; I shouldn’t have to struggle through what should be basic stitches!
Never mind . . . figured it out! Was trying to go through too fast and mis-read several rows. Saying “(dec) repeat 9 times” confused me. To me it reads, decrease once and then repeat 9 times. Oh, well, live and learn!
