About this pattern
The arms take two rounds to complete, starting from a small amigurumi ring, building up with an increase row, working even in the sweater color, then decreasing back down before the final stitches close together. The tail needs three rounds, growing with an increase row, holding steady for two rows, then pulling shut. Both small pieces tick off fast, giving a quick sense of progress before the body and head take shape.
Shaping happens through the increase and decrease rows on both arms and tail, where stitch placement determines whether the piece curves smoothly or puckers. Slow down on the color change into sweater tone for the arms and jumpsuit tone for the legs, since a stitch worked in the wrong color pulls the eye straight to the seam. The closing rows, where remaining stitches gather into a single point, also reward a careful, even pull.
- Start each small piece from an amigurumi ring, then build outward with an increase row.
- Work the arms in a steady color before shifting to sweater tone partway through.
- Shape the tail with an increase, a few even rows, then a gathered close.
- Crochet two identical leg pieces, finishing one and continuing straight into the second.
- Carry the working yarn from the joined leg up into the body and head.
What goes wrong
- Cutting yarn on both legs Only cut and fasten the thread on the first leg. Leave the second leg's yarn attached so it flows straight into the body round.
- Losing the color-change line Swap yarn colors at the start of a round rather than mid-stitch. This keeps the sweater and jumpsuit tones sitting in a clean ring around the piece.
- Stuffing the arms or tail Leave both unstuffed as directed. Extra filling stiffens these thin, flat pieces and makes them hard to curve into shape.
- Loose amigurumi ring center Pull the starting tail firmly after the first round on the arms and tail. A loose pull leaves a visible gap at the center.

Finish
- Weave in every yarn end left by the sweater, tail, and jumpsuit color changes before joining any parts.
- Stuff the body and head firmly for a rounded shape, but leave the arms and tail unstuffed as directed.
- Pin the toy eyes for symmetry, sew them and the embroidered nose and whiskers in place, then attach the arms and tail to the body.
Bigger or smaller
- Longer tail or arms
- Repeat one of the even rows on the tail or arms an extra time before decreasing. This lengthens just that piece without touching the rest of the pattern.
FAQs
Asked and answered
These answers came from whoever first published the pattern, kept word for word.
Why does the pattern say not to cut the yarn on the second leg?
Leaving the yarn attached lets the working thread flow directly from the second leg into the body round, avoiding an extra join. Cutting it there would mean weaving in an unnecessary end right where the two legs meet.
Should the arms and tail be stuffed like the body?
No, both are worked flat and left unstuffed so they stay soft and easy to curve into position. Stuffing would make them stiff and harder to attach neatly.
What yarn works if Wolans Bunny Baby isn't available?
Any plush yarn that pairs well with a 3.5 mm hook and holds its shape for amigurumi will substitute fine. Match gauge roughly to the body weight listed in the materials to keep proportions consistent.
How are the nose and whiskers added?
Cotton yarn or embroidery floss, listed in the materials, is used to embroider the nose and whiskers directly onto the head once assembly is done. This is worked after the toy eyes are placed, using a sewing needle.
