Helpful Notes Before Starting

1. This pattern is worked in rows, not rounds.
2. Chain loosely at the beginning to avoid a tight base edge.
3. Turning at the end of each row is essential to maintain shape.
4. Count stitches at the end of each row to stay on track.

Construction Overview

The bunny is made as two flat panels that are later joined together.

• The lower rows form the feet and body
• The middle rows shape the torso
• The upper rows form the head and ears
• After completing both panels, they are joined and stuffed

This row-by-row shaping is what gives the bunny its distinct outline.

Stitch and Shaping Clarity

• Increases widen the shape and are used where the bunny needs rounding (head and body curves).
• Decreases pull the shape inward, helping define areas like the neck and top of the head.
• Alternating increases and decreases creates symmetry and gentle curves instead of sharp edges.

If your piece starts curling, that’s normal early on. It will flatten as more rows are added.

Assembly Guidance

• Make two identical panels using the pattern above.
• Place them together with the right sides facing outward.
• Begin joining with single crochet stitches around the edge.

Stuffing Tips

• Add stuffing gradually as you work around the edges.

Focus on:

• • Ears: light stuffing to keep shape without stiffness
  • Head: slightly firmer for structure
  • Feet: moderate stuffing for balance

Avoid overstuffing, as it can distort the flat shape.

Eye and Facial Feature Placement

• Place safety eyes evenly across the head section
• Keep equal spacing from the center line for symmetry

Add:

• • Eye shine using white yarn or thread
  • Eyelashes for expression

Take time here—small adjustments make a big difference in personality.

Finishing the Bunny

• Adding Details: Position and attach safety eyes, create eye shine and eyelashes, and attach a pompom tail.
• Flowers: Follow the pattern for five-petal flowers and attach them to the bunny's head.
• Assembly: Join the two pieces of the bunny using single crochet stitches and stuff the ears, head, and feet.

Beginner Notes

• If your edges look uneven, try using stitch markers at the start of each row.
• Keep your tension consistent, especially when switching between increases and decreases.
• Count stitches often—this pattern relies heavily on shaping accuracy.

Troubleshooting

• Bunny shape looks uneven: Check placement of increases/decreases
• Edges are curling inward: Chains may be too tight; try loosening tension
• Panels don’t match: Recount stitches row by row and compare

Customization Ideas

• Add a bow instead of flowers
• Use textured yarn for a fluffy bunny look
• Embroider a nose or mouth for extra character
• Turn it into a keychain or wall decoration
