Is there any other dress patterns for the previous pretty bunny please
Can I ask how you attach the eyes without using the backs
You will secure the eyes with a drop of crystal glue when the indents are done.
Adorable 💖 merci pour le partage 🤗
Love your patterns
When you say don’t put the backs on the safety eyes because of the dents, how do the safety eyes stay in then please
You will secure the eyes with a drop of crystal glue when the indents are done.
I am working on this bunny now.
what it mean (in shoe) “4 in between 4th and 5th dc sts of the previous row”. I dont have idea how to make it… 🙁 what is “sts”???
Sts means stitches, to crochet between the stitches you should insert the hook in the hole between the stitches 🙂
Bonjour, je ne comprends pas comment réaliser le rang 15 du béret. Au rang 14, j’ai 72 mailles, mais je n’arrive pas à 62 mailles pour le rang 15. Merci de votre aide.
If I use Medium weight Acrylic (#4) instead, what size hook would you recommend?
Hi. I received the updated pattern version of Pretty Bunny in a dress in November from you. I’ve been trying to work out the difference with this pattern and the original pattern I bought from you in 2017. I’ve only realised today that maybe I should have received the Pretty Bunny with floppy ears in the purple hat. is this correct?Thanks Lyndell
Is there a boy version of this pattern? Mainly boy outfit?
Only girls now 🙂 But we’re going to add some new outfits 🙂
Hi, I would like to ask how I should connect the legs together. My English is not good so I don´t understand the part of the Body – Rnd 26 and 27.
Bonjour, existe t’il les modèles en français ? car je ne connais pas l’anglais et pour traduire un PDF même avec Google Traduction c’est pas très facile. Merci pour tous vos si jolis modèles.
Bonjour, seulement anglais.
I’m working on the leg now, but when I am doing round 9, I end up with like 39 stitches, not 33. I even went down a few rows and made sure my counts were right. Am I doing something wrong?
Hi Kris, please pay attention that Rnd 9 contains 9 decreases: 42-9=33
Olá. Gostaria de comprar as receitas em português. Será que é possível?
Now we have English versions only 🙂
Por favor.
Gostaria de entender na cabeça as carreiras 15 e 16 .
How much yarn is needed to complete project?
This depends on yarn weight and brand.
Your pattern are great with many explanations. I already done two banny’s. Thank you.
Thank you! 🙂
I love the pattern and it works up nicely. Please tell me. Besides putting a little stuffing in the bottom of the hands do you gently stuff the arms with stuffing with the wire in it?
Thank you for this adorable pattern

Hi…. can you tell me how I can copy and paste the free pattern for printing off please. The usual method of highlighting it first, then copy and paste doesn’t seem to work. If I go through the ‘Download PDF’ button, that just takes me to your purchase site…?
Regards..
Kath
Hi Kath 🙂 You can use online versions of the patterns for free on our website and mobile app. PDF version itself is not free. Because it takes a lot of time to prepare the patterns. So, in spite of this fact all people who can’t pay for PDF patterns can view them on the website and make wonderful toys. We don’t hide the instructions. Hope for your understanding 🙂
Hi, how much yarn do I need if im using red heart 100% acrylic 4 ply yarn?
I downloaded a previous version of the pretty bunny pattern. It shows how to make the entire ‘wire carcass’ however I have never heard of sticking tape before
And my internet searches come back with every kind of tape out there… can someone please tell me what sticking tape is?
I have seen multiple pictures with different styles of dresses for both the floor ears bunny and the bunny with straight ears. Are those patterns available somewhere else. I like the different styles of dresses and would like to do a variety of them.

How do I print pattern from my computer. All I get are copies of the comments
Online version is free, but if you want to print the patterns, you have to buy PDF version.
Love this bunny pattern.I have been crocheting for 50 yrs, so no trouble handling the pattern.Looking forward to doing the Christmas patterns. Thank you for such fun! Hailing you from The Bahamas !
Thank you, Marie! 🌷💕
I had sent a question and failed to put down this was for the head of the bunny hope that helps as it was row 15 of that portion. Thanks for your help.
Hi I have a question regarding the legs. I’m new to crochet so I probably have just misunderstood the instructions, so whoops! But I don’t understand the beginning of the leg instructions. Is there supposed to be a magic circle? I’m told to chain nine and then start crocheting in the second stitch. Is this supposed to be like a slip knot or something to connect the ends so I then have a base to start off with, like when you do heads and arms? Thank you!
Hola me encanta tu patrón, pero estoy con los zapatos y no entiendo muy bien como hacer las vueltas 12,13 y 14, ¿ podrías explicármelo mejor o poner un tutorial? Te lo agradezco de antemano
También yo estoy haciendo los zapatos y tengo confusión en las filas 12 y 13. Help
Hermosos amigurumi, ya elegí mi próximo reto, me encanto la página, gracias 💖 💖 💖
I really enjoyed this pattern. I did it to “upgrade” my crochet level to Advance. I found the whole setup of the pattern very easy and understanding. I just want to say Thanks to Amigurumi Today for all the work and effort that went into creating this pattern 😁

Hi, i wanna ask about the barret pattern, row 15.
There’s 72 st in 14th row, but in row 15 we need to sc & dec up to 10 times. Is it . means that this row more than 1 row? Because in 1 row i just got to (sec 8, dec) up to 7 times. What should i do? Thank you
I have been crocheting for several years but was a little confused in the arm pattern with the instruction (Inc) repeat three times. I read this as being four increases instead of three. Still I love these patterns and will continue to use them.
Hello ,Excuse me , the ears should be installed at what distance from the center of the head?
Hello
I want to say to some of the posters this is an advanced pattern. If you are not advanced you will really need a lot of help
I gave done pretty bunny over and over again.
I can do this now but it took a lot of trial and error, stitch counting and even you tube tutorials.
I still don’t think I connect the legs correctly with at crochet into next5 at and Ch 3i always have more than 48st,
So I just catch it in the middle a and work it until my count is correct lol making surebunny feet facing forward
Also you can always to youtube ask how do you do this or that what is this mean? I have crochetfir 5 decades but that doesn’t make me a expert.
Especially when I could never read patterns. Or stopped crafting for year’s when I was very actively working. Just re read the pattern out loud to yourself if something just doesn’t make sense. Do a stitch count of what you have. Plus what you should have on the next row.
A lot of times you see what you did wrong or you need to do. It’s like walking the pattern.
It really helps you get a lightbulb oh oh now get it moment. That feels really great.
I absolutely love all these patterns. I find they are written we’ll thorough and fairly easy to follow. But different from other creators. When I try a new creator their is pattetn language is like a foreign language. Many take fit granted you know what count should be after a1 inc or 3 inc. Etc. Write nothing else. At all
After2 year’s of amigurymi you really do know the shapes, the multiples to get a certain shape all the way to a triangle.
The real work is putting the finished product together. That’s where skill really comes in and continues to separate novice from expert. There my challenge. Making it look like something a person would buy 😊
For all the people that report about how many years they crochet and how competent they and how easy it is. It would be so very nice if you jumped right in a and explain some of these questions. They are very good questions. I got a lot of help from the FB group which I a member. And truly forever grateful. Post your question the admin will always help you is no one else in the group does
Thank you again amogurumi today. I love you guys
Thank you for your kind words!
You very welcomed! Sorry for typos and grammaticals. I’m going to start working from my laptop.! Then I can use spell check etc. but I’m glad you got the gist of my meaning. You guys are by far my most favorite amigurumi groups and sites. There are literally hundreds and f not more. 🙏🏻👋🏼🥰🤗🤭
