Baby Bunny Amigurumi
Super easy and quick this Baby Bunny Amigurumi crochet pattern will bring a taste of spring to any season. As spring really begins (at the time of this post), everyone is looking forward to wildflowers, baby birds, sunshine and light showers; but to me, nothing says spring more than Easter. Easter is my personal new year which I greet with fasting, meditation and prayer. There are so many things related to spring, though! Flip-flops, bluebonnets, campfires, sprouts, blossoms and bunnies are just a few. I had the opportunity to care for about 10 bunnies 3 years ago. Needless to say, they provided great fertilizer for my garden. In honor of bunny lovers everywhere, I present to you my Baby Bunny amigurumi pattern. One of these cuties is the size of a tennis ball and works up in about 45 minutes. That’s my guess anyway. With so many interruptions around here, I can never really tell. (I say that lovingly.)

Body:
R1: Chain 2, 6 sc in 2nd chain from hook
R2: 2 sc in each st around (12 sts)
R3: * Sc, 2 sc in the next st * (repeat from * to *- 18 sts)

R15: Dec 8 around (will be the top of his backside), sc 14
R16: Sc 22 (22 sts)
Add eyes between rows 4&5 or 5&6, about 7-8 stitches apart. Sew ears onto R8, stuff as you go.
R17: Dec 12 around, sew closed, sew in the tail, add pompom for the tail. To make the pompom, I wrap the same color yarn around 3 fingers about 25 times and tie off in the center, followed by cutting through all the loops. Then trim it into a clean shape that you desire.
Hind Feet:
R1: Chain 2, 6 sc in 2nd chain from hook
R2: 2 sc in each st around (12 sts)
R3-5: Sc 12 (12 sts)
R6: * Sc 4, dec * (10 sts)
Do not stuff.
R7-9: Sc 10 (10 sts)
R10: * Sc 3, dec *, slip st, fasten off leaving a long tail to sew, sew onto body to hold bunny up.
For an comprehensive pompom tutorial, I like Stitch 11’s found at: http://stitch11.com/secure-pom-pom-tutorial/
For the ears, there are two options to start in the case you have not worked a foundation triple (treble) crochet. To stiffen the ears, I crocheted over the tail. Starting with an 8″ tail was ideal for me, but with an even longer tail and you can crochet over it on both sides. Body and feet are worked in a continuous round.
Ears:
First option to start: Starting with ch2, ftr15
Second option to start (alternative): ch16, starting in 2nd ch from hook tr15 add 3tr in last ch (4 total in last ch, total 18sts), continue working around the opposite side, tr14, hdc in chain (15sts- 34sts, including beg ch), fasten off leaving a long tail to sew.
Sew onto R8 on bunny’s head. Enjoy!
This is concerning the Baby Bunny Amiguruim Pattern.
I noticed that the row numbers are not correct. Row 9 should be row 15, row 10 should be 16 and row 11 should be row 17.
Thank you for the pattern. I’m making three to give to my three granddaughters.
Linda Koebel
Thanks, Linda! Operator error. I’ve reprimanded the operator and it’s been fixed. So fun! Once you make them, I’d love to add them to my customer appreciation page when it’s up within the next week or two. I appreciate you.
I noticed the row numbers have not been corrected, as stated by Linda on March 30, 2014. The pattern is so cute but I am a beginner amigurumi and it really confused me ’til I thought to look in the comment section. Noticed you did comment that the operator had be reprimanded and it is fixed. Sorry to let you know it is not fixed. Debbie Marino
Hi, Debbie!
I am the operator. Maybe I didn’t get to it because of the holidays and multiple requests from different avenues, but I will do so as soon as possible. I appreciate your assistance calling attention to a crucial detail. 😉
Ta-Da! There you go, Debbie! That should make it WAY easier for you to follow. Should you have any trouble, please don’t hesitate to contact me via email.
On here it says not to copy the pattern, but in the post I shared, it said: “Free Pattern* Baby Bunny Amigurumi – Simply Collectible Crochet”. I did share the post on my facebook page, and a couple of my friends also shared it. Is it OK to copy the pattern so I can have my mom make these or not?
Hi, Carol! Thank you so much for asking. You may print it, share links and pin images, but you may not copy my pattern to another page, use my images for anything other than what I approve or copy and paste in bits and pieces. Everything must link back to this pattern.
I hope that makes sense. Thank you so much for your support!
What does it mean by crocheting over the tail to make the ears stiff?? The tail at the beginning of the ear or at the end that you use to sew the ear to the body? Thanks!
Hi, Celeste! You’ll use the starting tail for the ears to crochet over or weave it back through the center. I hope that makes sense. If not, just let me know.
Thank you for giving this to us free for this Easter Season ~ this is the cutest little thing. I will so enjoy crocheting it. I intend to pull out all my fingering yarn colors and start on them tonight. I will be up for a few more hours and can get busy on these little ones as soon as I finish this post.
Thank you,
Jane
Oh, Jane! That sounds delightful. If you’d send me a picture, I’d love to share it.
This is just the cutest pattern! I left the legs at 12 sts and made 11 rounds total. I then left the back of the legs open and sewed them to the body, making a place for two fingers. He looks just like yours, but he is now a finger puppet! He’s very cute this way.
These are so cute and perfect for Easter! They are very unique!!
love these little bunnies can’t wait to get them made. They will be wonderful for our Easter game, the kids will love these as prizes. Thank you
Cute idea. Thanks!
cute!
I love making Easter toys for my son. I think these cute bunnies will have to make an appearance. Here from the blog hop! Thanks!
Love these- so adorable!!!! 🙂
Thank you!
I would love to make this for our new grandbaby coming in nine weeks. Thank you!
These are too cute!
These are definitely on my to do list! So cute
Cutest bunnies I’ve seen! I’ll have to make some for my nieces for Easter.
When I first saw this pattern I thought it was crocheted around a plastic Easter egg. You could do that and, pull them apart for candy.
Thanks for your input, Shirley!
These are so cute! I can’t wait to try this pattern, my first Amigurumi!
Hope you enjoy it, Shannon. Thanks for coming by.
I am struggling with the directions for ears. So do you end up with two rows of tr and one side of hoc. Seems unbalanced. What am t getting wrong on this?
I’m not certain, Claudia. Please feel free to email me a picture of what you are getting and explain the situation. You may also contact me via Facebook or Twitter. 🙂 Use the links at the top of the page, please.
Thanks, I wiil get some pics for you.
How do I email pics to you?
Hi, Claudia ~ My email is that little envelope in the top left of my site and you’ll see a Submit page in the menu bar. Thank you for asking!
I love this pattern =) Too cute! I would post it in my community, but I have to wait because I made these as a gift for my daughter and she is a member!! She’ll get them tomorrow so I’ll send you a pic then =D I had fun, made 3… Couldn’t stop! Thanks Celina!
Oh, that’s great! I completely understand having to keep it on the down-low.
Hi Crelina, I have not been able to find any other way to get to you, so this is it! I have tried twice to download this very cute pattern, however, it gets stuck at 180 of 182 B and says 1 second left and it won’t go any fur ther. Also, I tried to email it and it just reloaded this page. I really would like to make this cutie, however, I can’t find a way to keep it. Would you be able to help me with this? Thank you, Kathy
Hi, Kathy~
Can you be more specific with the method you are attempting, please? I’m so sorry you are having trouble. Are you trying this link [ https://www.etsy.com/listing/228355685/crochet-pattern-baby-bunny-amigurumi-pdf ] where you purchased the pdf from Etsy? You may also try putting my url into PrintFriendly.com which helps you choose what you want to use. If that doesn’t work, please feel free to email me which is the quickest way to get me. I’d be happy to help however I can. SimplyCollectibleCrochet@gmail.com
These are SO cute. I wish I would have found them sooner rather than the day before Easter. Where do you find the 8mm amigurumi eyes?
Thank you! I understand, Tina. You’ll be ready for next year! I found the eyes at Hobby Lobby, but there are some sellers on Etsy as well.
