Free Crochet Bunny Pattern!

May 3, 2016

 
Free Crochet Bunny Pattern

This Friday is bring your stuffed animal to school day at my daughter’s school.  She has so many stuffies that are store bought and honestly, they are just something she plays with for a bit and then forgets about.  So, I wanted to make something really special for her to bring.

As it happens, I just finished taking the Design Your Crochet Monster class on Craftsy.  The course walks you through designing your own amigurumi monsters from drawing out your design all the way to writing up a pattern.  It was awesome, and I highly recommend it if you are looking to create your own designs.  However, knowing my daughter, I didn’t think a monster would cut it.  But with the skills I picked up I felt confident in designing a stuffed bunny for her since she loves bunnies (like most little girls her age).

I have written out and posted the free pattern for this sweet little bunny below on this page. You can also purchase the ad free instant download PDF file for easy printing and reading for $5 USD.

Bunny – Free Crochet Bunny Pattern

What you will need:

Here is what you will need to make this little bunny:

  • Berroco Comfort Worsted Weight Yarn in two colours.  I used:
    • Color A: Barley (approx. 120 yards).
    • Color B: Pretty Pink (approx. 50 yards) .
  • Size G (4.0 mm) Crochet Hook.
  • Safety Eyes or buttons (if you are making this for a very small child it is safest to embroider on the eyes).
  • Scissors.
  • Stitch Marker or scrap piece of yarn.
  • Poly-Fil for stuffing the bunny.
  • Yarn or tapestry needle to sew the pieces together.

Finished Size:

Approximately 9 inches tall with legs extended (6 inches sitting).

Abbreviations:

SC: Single Crochet.

ST: Stitch.

SC2Tog: Single Crochet Two Together.

Notes Before you Start:

  1. I worked my single crochets in the back loop to make it easier to count my rows and I personally just like the way it looks.
  2. Work your rounds in spirals, do not join at the beginning of each round.   You will need to use a stitch marker to mark your rounds.
  3. Each round has the total number of stitches for the round in brackets.  If you are unsure its always a good idea to count your stitches.

Pattern:

Head and Body:

With color A, make a magic circle or adjustable ring

Round 1: Make 6 SC in magic circle (6 St).

Round 2:  SC twice in each stitch (12 St).

Round 3: *SC twice in next stitch, SC in next stitch.  Repeat from * until end of round (18 St).

Round 4: *SC twice in next stitch, SC in next 2 stitches.  Repeat from * until end of round (24 St).

Round 5: *SC twice in next stitch, SC in next 3 stitches.  Repeat from * until end of round (30 St).

Round 6: *SC twice in next stitch, SC in next 4 stitches.  Repeat from * until end of round (36 St).

Round 7: *SC twice in next stitch, SC in next 5 stitches.  Repeat from * until end of round (42 St).

Rounds 8-10: SC in each stitch (42 St).

Round 11: SC twice in next stitch, SC in next 20 stitches, SC twice in next stitch, SC to end of round (44 St).

Round 12-13: SC in each stitch (44 St).

Round 14:  SC2Tog, SC in next 20 stitches, SC2Tog, SC until end of round (42 St).

Attach the eyes between rounds 10 and 11.  Space them 11 stitches apart (see photo below for guide). Ebroider on the nose at the midpoint between the eyes with the centre of the nose going over round 11.  Stuff the head with the poly-fil and continue on to the next round where we start to work the body.

    Absolutely love this little bunny! Started making it this weekend, but I presumed it was a US pattern so I converted to UK dc instead of US sc. I’m onto round 14 of the head and it’s looking very long and coney ?… Can you please confirm what crochet terminology your patterns are written in? Thanks!

      Hi Emma, I’m sorry I do not know the answer to your question as I have not tried to make this bunny larger. In my experience if you go up in hook size and use a chunkier yarn then the overall size will increase without having to change the pattern.

      Hi Emma, I hope you get this reply. To make your bunny larger try using a larger yarn weight. What is suggested is a worsted weight which is a size 4. Since you want to add 5 inches you could try a size 6 which is very bulky and will make it quite a bit larger. Make sure you keep your hook at least one size smaller than what is suggested for the yarn so your crochet is tightly done. Hope this helps.

    Hello, Im new to crochet. Can you please tell me what * means?

    Reply
    • Deb Snyder says

      January 10, 2017 at 11:06 am

      The * is an indicator of what needs to be repeated. Look at the beginning of the line that contains the instructions to “repeat from *” . You will see a * at the beginning of the line. Example: *SC2Tog, SC in next stitch. Repeat from * to end of round.
      It means you repeat from the * to the period until you get to the end of the round. It simply saves having to write the same piece of instruction over and over until the end of the round.

    Hi, thank you for the sweet pattern. I am almost done with my first bunny and it turned out really cute. Please check your pattern for the arm, round 3. Is there something wonky there, or am I understanding it wrong? I moved the 2 sc stitches to the 10th stitch so I guess it will work out, just wanted to check with you.

    Is round 3 of the arms correct? Says it should be 14 stitches but the math doesn’t add up….

    • Leelee says

      August 15, 2016 at 1:25 pm

      Hi Ellie, Yes it is correct. At the end of row two you should have 12 stitches. You want to increase two more during round 3 to get to 14 stitches. I did the increases by doing one at the beginning of the round and one at the middle of the round. Hope that helps!

    I’ve just finished making my son a dinosaur for his first birthday on Thursday, so I completely share your desire to make a special handmade toy.
    I love the colour of your little bunny too.

    This is a very nice design and I like the style of using BLO. Please clarify round 3 of the arm. How does your math work out to 14 stitches when there are only 12 stitches in the previous round? “SC twice in next stitch, SC in next 11 stitches, SC twice in next stitch, SC to end of round (14 St).”

      Thank you for catching this mistake! I meant to say next 5 stitches (increase by two stitches can really be done anywhere you prefer). I will update the pattern.
