Description
This plush bunny is crocheted in a dense single crochet stitch using soft, chenille-style or plush yarn that gives it a wonderfully squishy and huggable texture. The body, head, arms, and legs are worked in continuous rounds and firmly stuffed for a sturdy yet squeezable feel. Long ears stand upright, and the face is finished with safety eyes, a pink embroidered or felt nose, and a simple stitched smile. Ideal as a baby shower gift, children’s toy, or cozy home décor piece.

Pattern Notes
- The bunny is worked in continuous rounds (spiral) using single crochet for a smooth, dense fabric.
- Parts are made separately (head, body, ears, arms, legs) and then sewn together.
- Stuff firmly but evenly so the shape holds well without being too hard.
- Safety eyes should be secured before closing the head.
- A tight tension helps prevent stuffing from showing through.
Step-by-Step Overview
- Head & Body: Start with a magic ring and work in continuous single crochet rounds, increasing for the head and body shape. Stuff as you go.
- Ears: Crochet two long, slightly tapered ears and sew them securely to the top of the head.
- Arms & Legs: Make four simple limbs, lightly stuff the ends, and attach them to the body.
- Face: Insert safety eyes, embroider or sew on a pink nose, and add a simple smile with black yarn.
- Finishing: Weave in all ends, shape the bunny gently, and check that all parts are firmly attached.
Care Instructions
Surface clean with a damp cloth or hand wash gently in cold water if the yarn allows. Do not wring or machine wash. Reshape while damp and air dry flat. Do not tumble dry or iron. Keep safety eyes secured and out of reach of very young children if used as a toy.
