Amigurumi Bunny Crochet Pattern

This pattern creates an adorable amigurumi bunny worked in the round using the yarn under technique throughout for a tighter and more defined stitch appearance. Using your preferred yarn and crochet hook, you will work the head and body as one continuous piece, create two separate ears, and assemble everything together for a charming and huggable finished bunny complete with an optional decorative bow or small crochet flower accent.

Quick Overview of Pattern

• Head and Body: Worked together as one continuous piece beginning from a magic ring, shaped with increases and decreases, and finished with a cute bobble stitch tail detail
• Ears: Worked separately in the round from a magic ring, shaped with increases and decreases, and sewn onto the finished head
• Yarn Under Technique: Used consistently throughout all stitches for a tighter and more defined amigurumi fabric
• Bobble Tail: A bobble stitch worked directly into the body round creates a charming dimensional bunny tail
• Optional Embellishments: A decorative bow or small crochet flower can be added for extra personality and detail

Notes

• The yarn under technique is used for every stitch throughout this entire pattern; this means inserting the hook and pulling the yarn under rather than over for a tighter and neater amigurumi fabric
• Use a stitch marker in the first stitch of every round to keep accurate track of your round beginnings and stitch counts
• Stuff the head firmly with fiberfill before closing Row 17 for a well-shaped and professional finished result
• Row 9 is worked in front loops only to create a clean and defined ridge that separates the head from the body section
• The bobble stitch tail in Row 15 is worked into a single stitch and creates a small raised dimensional bump on the back of the bunny body
• When sewing the ears, use pins to position them carefully before stitching to ensure they are placed symmetrically and attractively on the head
• Leave a long yarn tail when fastening off the ears for sewing them securely onto the finished bunny head

Gauge

• Gauge is not strictly critical for this amigurumi project; however, maintaining tight and consistent tension is essential to prevent fiberfill stuffing from showing through the stitches
• Using the yarn under technique consistently throughout helps achieve the tight and dense fabric required for a neat amigurumi finish
• If your stitches appear too open or loose, try going down one hook size for a tighter result

Stitch Abbreviations

Special Stitches

Yarn Under Technique

Instead of the standard yarn over when pulling through loops, the yarn is brought under the hook for each stitch. This creates a tighter and more defined stitch that is ideal for amigurumi work and helps prevent the stuffing from showing through.

Increase (inc)

Work 2 sc into the same stitch to increase the stitch count by one.

Decrease (dec)

Insert the hook into the next stitch, pull up a loop, insert the hook into the following stitch, pull up a loop, then yo and pull through all 3 loops at once to decrease the stitch count by one.

Bobble Stitch (Bunny Tail)

• Yo and insert the hook into the stitch
• Pull up a loop (3 loops on hook)
• Yo and pull through 2 loops (2 loops remain)
• Repeat this process 4 to 5 times in the same stitch until multiple loops remain on the hook
• Yo and pull through all remaining loops at once to close the bobble
• The completed bobble creates a small raised bump on the surface of the fabric, forming the bunny tail
