Gauge
Gauge is not critical for this project. However, it’s important to use a hook size that results in tight stitches so the fiberfill stuffing does not show through the fabric.

Note: There appears to be an error in the original pattern from R28 onwards. The stitch counts do not align with standard amigurumi closing techniques. We have transcribed the pattern as it was written. A typical closing sequence from 18 stitches would be R28: [1 sc, dec]*6 (12), followed by R29: 6 dec (6).
R28: [5 sc, dec] 6 times. (30)
R29: 6 dec. (24)
Finish stuffing the head firmly. Fasten off and weave the yarn tail through the final stitches to close the hole.

Attach your yellow yarn to the first of the 10 front loops you left on Round 9 of the body.
Row 1: Ch 1, work 10 sc across the front loops. Ch 1 and turn. (10)
Row 2: dec, 6 sc, dec. Ch 1 and turn. (8)

Assembly
- Sew the arms to the sides of the body, just below the neck.
- Fold the bottom of the ears flat and sew them to the top of the head.
- Sew the earpieces to each end of the headband.
- Place the headphones over the rabbit’s head, positioning them over the ears. You can add a few stitches to secure the headphones in place if desired.
- Using black embroidery thread, stitch the eyes and a small nose onto the face.
