Free Pattern: Amigurumi Bunnies

This supper easy, simple and quick pattern was inspired by  Coffee And Cream‘s knitted Catnip Bunny pattern. When I first saw them i fell in love, what a lovely rainbow of bunnies, unfortunately i do not know how to knit, yet, so i decided to make a crochet version. Thank you Selina for this lovely idea, sharing it and letting me share the crochet version for those of us who do not knit :).

Materials and Tools needed:

1. Acrylic yarn e.g. Lane Cervinia Caprice in any colour
2. In addition small amount of 2 other colous (eyes & muzzle)
3. Hook size 2.5mm
4. Polyfill
5. Stitch marker indicating the end of each Rnd
6. Button
7. Tapestry needle
8. Scissors

• Finished Size: body’s height is 7cm (2 ¾in) and with Ears up 12cm (4 ½ in), the width of the body is 5cm (2 in). If you are using different yarn brand or type, use a hook size at least 0.5mm less than suggested on the yarn label (applicable only for acrylic yarn) to create tight stitches.
• All the instructions and abbreviations are given in American (US) terms.
• Work in continuous rounds without turning unless otherwise specified in the pattern.
• For certain instructions e.g.   Fasten off when working in continuous rounds click on the link for detailed ‘how-to’.
