Crochet Pattern Instructions
Head & Body (Worked as one piece)
We’ll start from the top of the head and work our way down.
- R1: Ch 4. Starting from the second chain from the hook, crochet: 1 sc, inc, 2 sc, inc, 1 sc. (8)
- R2: (3 sc, inc) * 2 (10)
- R3: (3 sc, 2 inc) * 2 (14)
- R4: 14 sc around. (14)
Pro Tip: Try to keep your increases and decreases aligned on the sides of your work. This will help create the bunny’s flat, charming shape.
- R5: (3 sc, 2 dec) * 2 (10)
- R6: (3 sc, dec) * 2 (8)
Lightly stuff the head with filling before continuing.
- R7: inc, 2 sc, 2 inc, 2 sc, inc (12)
- R8: inc, 3 sc, 3 inc, 3 sc, 2 inc (18)
- R9: (6 sc, 3 inc) * 2 (24)
- R10-12 (3 rounds): 24 sc around. (24)
- R13: (6 sc, 3 dec) * 2 (18)
Now, stuff the body, making sure to keep it relatively flat as shown in the photo.
- R14: dec, 3 sc, 3 dec, 3 sc, 2 dec (12)
- R15: 6 dec (6)
Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Use your yarn needle to weave the tail through the front loops of the final 6 stitches and pull tight to close the opening. Weave in the end securely.
Ears (Make 2)
You have two fun options for the ears!
Option 1: Simple & Thin
- R1: 4 sc in MR. (4)
- R2-8 (7 rounds): 4 sc around. (4)
Do not stuff. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Option 2: Shaped & Fuller
- R1: 4 sc in MR. (4)
- R2: 4 sc around. (4)
- R3: (inc, sc) * 2 (6)
- R4: 6 sc around. (6)
- R5: (inc, 2 sc) * 2 (8)
- R6-7 (2 rounds): 8 sc around. (8)
- R8: (dec, 2 sc) * 2 (6)
Stuff very lightly only at the wider, shaped part. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Assembly & Decoration
Let’s bring your bunny to life!
- Attach the Ears: Pin the ears to the top of the head in a position you like, then use the yarn tails to sew them securely in place.
- Add the Eyes: Insert or glue the safety eyes between Rounds 3 and 4 of the head, with about 3 stitches of space between them.
- Embroider the Nose: Use your black embroidery floss to stitch a small, cute nose centered below and between the eyes.
- Attach the Keychain: Securely sew the keychain clasp to the top of the head, right between the ears.
- Tie the Bow: Create a beautiful bow with your satin ribbon and attach it to the bunny’s neck or ear.
Tip: To prevent the ribbon from fraying, you can carefully seal the edges with a lighter, clear nail polish, or a dab of fabric glue.
You’re All Done!
