Creating Your Mini Bunny

Head

The head forms the foundation of your bunny’s character and adorable expression:

Round 1: Create a magic ring and work 6 single crochets into it Round 2: Increase in each stitch around (12 stitches) Round 3: 1 single crochet, increase repeat 6 times (18 stitches) Round 4: 2 single crochets, increase repeat 6 times (24 stitches) Round 5: 3 single crochets, increase repeat 6 times (30 stitches) Round 6: 4 single crochets, increase repeat 6 times (36 stitches) Round 7: 5 single crochets, increase repeat 6 times (42 stitches) Rounds 8-12: Work 42 single crochets in each round (5 rounds total) Round 13: Work 9 single crochets, 3 single crochets, increase repeat 6 times, work 9 single crochets (48 stitches) Rounds 14-16: Work 48 single crochets in each round (3 rounds total) Round 17: 6 single crochets, decrease repeat 6 times (42 stitches) Round 18: 5 single crochets, decrease repeat 6 times (36 stitches) Round 19: 4 single crochets, decrease repeat 6 times (30 stitches) Round 20: 3 single crochets, decrease repeat 6 times (24 stitches) Round 21: 2 single crochets, decrease repeat 6 times (18 stitches)

At this point, insert safety eyes between rounds 10-12, ensuring they’re positioned symmetrically. Begin stuffing the head firmly, continuing to add stuffing as you close the opening in the next steps.

Arms (Make 2)

The arms are simple tubes that will be attached to the body:

Rounds 1-9: Work 8 single crochets in each round (9 rounds total)

Alternatively, you can follow this more detailed pattern for the arms:

Round 1: Create a magic ring and work 6 single crochets into it Round 2: Increase in each stitch around (12 stitches) Round 3: 1 single crochet, increase repeat 6 times (18 stitches) Rounds 4-5: Work 18 single crochets in each round (2 rounds total) Round 6: Work 5 single crochets, decrease 4 times, work 5 single crochets (14 stitches) Round 7: Work 5 single crochets, decrease 2 times, work 5 single crochets (12 stitches) Rounds 8-10: Work 12 single crochets in each round (3 rounds total)

Do not stuff the arms completely—just add a small amount of stuffing at the hand end. Leave the rest hollow for easier attachment to the body.

Body and Legs

The body and legs are worked as one continuous piece:

Round 1: Create a magic ring and work 6 single crochets into it Round 2: Increase in each stitch around (12 stitches) Round 3: 1 single crochet, increase repeat 6 times (18 stitches) Rounds 4-5: Work 18 single crochets in each round (2 rounds total) Round 6: Work 5 single crochets, decrease 4 times, work 5 single crochets (14 stitches) Round 7: Work 5 single crochets, decrease 2 times, work 5 single crochets (12 stitches) Rounds 8-10: Work 12 single crochets in each round (3 rounds total)

At this point, create a second leg following the same pattern.

To join the legs and create the body: Round 11: With both legs completed but not fastened off, join them with a chain of 3 stitches. Work 12 single crochets across the first leg, 3 single crochets along the chain, 12 single crochets across the second leg, 3 single crochets along the other side of the chain (30 stitches total) Round 12: Work 4 single crochets, increase repeat 6 times (36 stitches) Rounds 13-14: Work 36 single crochets in each round (2 rounds total) Round 15: Change to your chosen color for the outfit Work in back loops only: 5 single crochets, increase repeat 6 times (42 stitches) Rounds 16-19: Work 42 single crochets in each round (4 rounds total) Round 20: 5 single crochets, decrease repeat 6 times (36 stitches) Rounds 21-22: Work 36 single crochets in each round (2 rounds total) Round 23: 4 single crochets, decrease repeat 6 times (30 stitches) Round 24: 3 single crochets, decrease repeat 6 times (24 stitches) Round 25: 2 single crochets, decrease repeat 6 times (18 stitches)

Stuff the body firmly before closing. Close the opening by drawing the yarn through the front loops of the remaining stitches and pulling tight.

Bunny Ears (Make 2)

The ears give your bunny its distinctive rabbit appearance:

Round 1: Create a magic ring and work 6 single crochets into it Round 2: 1 single crochet, increase repeat 3 times (9 stitches) Round 3: 2 single crochets, increase repeat 3 times (12 stitches) Rounds 4-9: Work 12 single crochets in each round (6 rounds total)

Do not stuff the ears. Flatten each ear and sew to the top of the head, positioning them symmetrically.

Bunny Skirt

For the ruffled skirt that gives your bunny its charming look:

Work 42 double crochet stitches evenly spaced around row 15 of the body (where you changed colors and worked in back loops only).

Bonnet/Hat

The bonnet frames your bunny’s face and completes the look:

Round 1: Work 8 double crochet stitches in a magic ring Round 2: Increase in each double crochet around (16 stitches) Round 3: 1 double crochet, increase repeat 8 times (24 stitches) Round 4: 2 double crochets, increase repeat 8 times (32 stitches) Round 5: Work 11 double crochets, chain 3, work 3 double crochets, work 4 double crochets, chain 3, work 3 double crochets, work 11 double crochets (the chain spaces create ear openings) Round 6: Work 11 double crochets, work 3 double crochets, work 4 double crochets, work 3 double crochets, work 11 double crochets Round 7: Work 5 single crochets, 1 single crochet, chain 3 repeat 22 times, work 5 single crochets (creates a decorative edging)

Assembly and Finishing Touches

Sew the head to the body, ensuring it’s positioned straight and secure.
Attach the arms to the sides of the body, positioning them evenly.
If your bunny will wear the bonnet, insert the ears through the chain spaces before securing the bonnet to the head.
