About the Pattern

This classic crochet bunny is an ideal small amigurumi project featuring compact construction and integrated shaping for body, limbs, and tail. Worked primarily in single crochet and continuous rounds, the pattern uses the popcorn stitch technique to create arms, legs, and tail directly onto the body for a seamless finish. Ears are completed separately and sewn onto the head, giving the bunny a charming and recognizable silhouette. The design is well-suited for a quick project, whether for gifting, decor, or playful softies.

Pattern at a Glance

• Components: Single-piece body with embedded arms, legs, and tail; separate ear units
• Construction: Continuous spiral rounds, no joins except at ear assembly
• Techniques: Magic ring, single crochet increases and decreases, popcorn stitches, minimal sew-on assembly

Important Notes
