Hello My Crochet Friends!

Today I would like to share with you a crochet mini bunny tutorial.

Some time ago, my friend, Miluska, sent me pictures of a beautifully decorated table with these bunnies and she immediately prepared instructions on how to crochet this cute bunny.

And I promised Miluska that it be my big pleasure to would share this pattern with you as well.

I have also prepared a STEP by STEP video tutorial, so even very beginners can crochet this cheerful bunny.

The pattern is simple, easy and quick. I believe that not only you but also your children or grandchildren will enjoy these bunnies.

This bunny could be also a great EASTER gift for all kids.

Have fun crocheting and gifting your loved ones or enjoy a nicely decorated spring table with bunnies as decorations.

This pattern is also perfect for beginners - it's really simple, it repeats rows of single crochet and there is no complicated embroidery or sewing, certainly even those who are starting to crochet will make this little bunny.

The pattern is available here below for free. It comes with a video guide as well.
Let’s get started to make this perfect pattern!

50 gr / 150 m / 100% cotton

I am currently using this yarn for my UNIQUE TEMPERATURE SNAKE:

Scissors
Sewing/Embroidery and yarn needle/tapestry needle for sewing pieces together and weaving in ends

Stuffing
Plastic safety eyes 8 mm 

CROCHET CUTE MINI BUNNY AMIGURUMI TOY

Difficulty Level: Level 1 – Easy, for beginners

US crochet terms:

SlSt – slip stitch
CH/s – chain/s
SC - single crochet
sc2tog - 2 single crochet decrease, 2sc together
SK - skip
T - turn
ST/s - stitch(es)
REP – repeat

SC2TOG = 2 single crochets together

Special stitches used:
Single Crochet Decrease (sc2tog)

A crochet decrease makes the current row or round that you are working on shorter than the one previous to it.

1.  Insert hook into the first stitch.
2.  Yarn over and draw through the loop.
3.  Do not complete the stitch as normal.
4.  Instead, insert the hook into the next stitch.
5.  Yarn over and draw through the loop.
6.  There should now be three loops on your hook
7.  Yarn over and draw through all three loops on the hook
8.  You should now have two single crochet stitches side-by-side, joined together into one stitch at the top.

This pattern requires familiarity with stitches used, attaching yarn and sewing parts together with a sewing needle.

CROCHET CUTE MINI BUNNY AMIGURUMI TOY
PATTERN NOTES

1) A ch1 at beg of the row DOESN'T count as a stitch

2) Magic ring = the starting point for crocheting in a spiral. Use which ever method you prefer.

3) Continuous spiral rounds - which means that you will not be joining the last stitch of the round with the first one. Instead you will need to keep track of where each round started and how many stitches you have made because after each round you will continue right on to the stitches of the next round (with no join). It is useful to use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to mark the start or end of each round.

4) ( ) – The number of stitches that should be in a completed round/row are placed in brackets at the end of that round’s/row’s instructions.

5) The CUTE MINI BUNNY AMIGURUMI TOY is crocheted in these parts using single crochet stitches:

HEAD
EARS
PAWS

6) This CUTE MINI BUNNY AMIGURUMI TOY measures

10 cm / 4 inch high (incl. ears)
7 cm / 2.7 inch wide

The finished size will depend on what yarn you use, as well as your tension and hook (as with any amigurumi).

*Measurements are taken from the garment lying flat, before the yarn has stretched out/dropped. 

7) You can make the CUTE MINI BUNNY AMIGURUMI TOY bigger with a thicker yarn or smaller with a thinner yarn. 

8) There is some sewing: you will sew the head on the body, the ears on the head, the hands and the legs and the tail on the body. This is easy to do, there are no tricks.

HOW TO CROCHET CUTE MINI BUNNY AMIGURUMI TOY

With dark brown yarn and a tapestry needle, embroider the MOUTH and NOSE onto the HEAD on the position in the middle of the eyes.
Make Mouth with a horizontal line between R13 and R14, with the same yarn you will go through the middle of the line you just made and pull it through R11 and R12.
Make a triangle shape or heart shape nose right between eyes.

STUFFING

The exact moment for starting filling and stuffing the toy depends on every single person. I prefer filling the toy with the work almost finished. It’s a bit more difficult to fill, but more comfortable to crochet. You should make proofs until finding the more suitable moment of filling for you.
Stuff head and body firmly and full. Shape as you stuff, make sure to shape the nose too.
Use a stuffing stick or the back end of a pencil to push the stuffing into the right spots.

Crochet hook 3 mm

Cut the yarn and leave a longer tail to sew the PAW on the BODY bottom.
Repeat the pattern for the second PAW.

FINISHING INSTRUCTIONS

Face: feel free to play around with different styles and looks. I kept the nose and mouth very simple with pink yarn inserted and wrapped in between the R13 and R14 row. The nose is also with the same brown color inserted and wrapped around the R12th row and finished off with a vertical line. 

Eyelashes and eyebrows
You can embroider with color B 2 or 3 short rows around the eyes to make eyelashes and finish with a short eyebrows.

FINGERS/CLAWS

Color B

You can embroider "fingers" or claws on both paws. I sewed 3 vertical lines, one through the middle of the paw over the magic ring and another one a little 1-2 rows to the side, again symmetrically.

Make sure the head and the body is stuffed well before sewing, but not so firm that you can see the stuffing through the stitches.

Sew the EARS to the HEAD on the position on top of the HEAD, 4 rows from the magic ring. Shape the ears and stretch them up. 

Sew the PAWS on the bottom of the BODY. They should be more towards the front so the body doesn't flop over. Pin the paws before sewing, sit it down on a flat surface to make sure it will sit up on its own. Sew in place and hide yarn tails in the body. 

Sew the TAIL on the back of the BODY.  Hide the yarn tails inside the body.

And voila! You made a CUTE MINI BUNNY!

This little CUTE MINI BUNNY will a perfect handmade toy for kids and adults! Could be a perfect gift for your love ones. He will surely bring smile to all your recipient’s faces.
