About this pattern
This amigurumi bunny builds from three separate pieces: a head worked over 26 rounds, a body worked over 25 rounds, and a pair of ears worked over 49 rounds each. Every part starts the same way, with a magic ring, before branching into its own shaping sequence. Working the three pieces in one sitting keeps stitch tension consistent across the finished toy.
Shaping happens fast at the start of the head and body, where increase rounds stack up quickly to build the rounded base shape. The ears shift gears partway through, holding a steady stitch count for a stretch of rounds before increasing again to flare out. Slow down at these transition rounds, since that is where the increase pattern changes and a missed one shows in the finished silhouette.
- Start the head with a magic ring and work through a run of increase rounds to build its rounded shape.
- Continue the head pattern through its full set of rounds before setting it aside to stuff and close.
- Work the body starting from another magic ring, following the same early increase sequence as the head.
- Make both ears as matching pairs, each starting small and increasing after a short flat section.
- Stuff the head and body pieces once their rounds are complete, keeping the fill even and firm.
- Join the ears, head and body together to complete the bunny once all three pieces are finished.
What goes wrong
- Losing count during increase rounds Increase rounds on the head and body stack quickly, so count stitches after every round rather than at the end. A stitch marker on the first stitch of each round makes this easier to check.
- Missing the ear's plain rounds The ears hold a steady stitch count for a run of rounds before increasing again, and it is easy to increase too early. Check the pattern for that flat section before moving into the next increase round.
- Uneven stuffing in curved shapes The rounded shaping on the head and body needs fill pushed into the curve, not just the center. Add small amounts at a time and check the outer shape as stuffing builds up.
- Loose magic ring start All three pieces begin with a magic ring, and a loose pull leaves a visible hole at the very center. Pull the ring tail snug before working the first stitches into it.

Finish
- Weave in the starting and ending tails on the head, body and both ears before joining any pieces.
- Stuff the head and body firmly and evenly, working fill into the rounded shaping areas so no dents show.
- Attach both ears to the head at the finished position, then close the head and body openings neatly.
Bigger or smaller
- Smaller
- Use a lighter yarn weight and a smaller hook to tighten the gauge, shrinking the head, body and ears while keeping the same round-by-round shaping.
- Finished Size
- As written, using the 2.0 mm hook and YarnArt Jeans yarn listed in the materials, this bunny measures about 30 cm tall.
FAQs
Asked and answered
These answers came from whoever first published the pattern, kept word for word.
How many pieces does this bunny have?
The pattern makes three parts: one head, one body, and two matching ears. Each piece is worked separately before joining.
Do the ears take longer than the head?
Each ear runs to 49 rounds, well beyond the head's 26 rounds, and there are two ears to make. Budget extra time for the pair.
Where does the shaping change on the ears?
The ears hold a steady round count for a long stretch before increasing again to flare the shape. That transition point is where careful counting matters most.
