About the Free Crochet Bunny Pattern
To minimize the need for sewing, I’ve designed this crochet bunny pattern so that the head, arms, and body are all crocheted as one piece. This clever construction not only streamlines the assembly process but also ensures a seamless finish that’s both sturdy and visually appealing.
Feel free to experiment with different yarns, but I recommend opting for a slightly smaller crochet hook size than usual. This technique creates a tighter stitch, which prevents stuffing from peeking through and gives your bunny a more polished look.
So whether you’re a seasoned crocheter or just starting out, you’ll find this pattern both versatile and beginner-friendly, making it the perfect project for crafters of all skill levels.

Gauge and Measurements
Gauge is not important for this free crochet bunny pattern, you can easily adjust the size of your toy by using smaller or larger hook and different types of yarn.
My finished toy measures 5.90 inches (15 cm) tall without counting the length of the ears. For those aiming for the same size, this gauge can serve as a reference: 10 stitches and 10 rows in single crochet measure 3.5 x 3.5 cm (1.37 x 1.37 inches).
Abbreviations (US terms)
Here are the crochet abbreviations used in this free crochet bunny pattern. Note that instructions are written in US terms.
CH – chain
St(s) – stitch(es)
SLST – slip stitch
SC – single crochet stitch (i.e. 3 SC means to crochet SC in next 3 sts)

INC – single crochet increase (sc in indicated stitch 2 times)
TR – treble crochet stitch
InvDEC – invisible decrease (single crochet two stitches together front loop only)
BLO – back loop only
