Free crochet bunny pattern

I find crochet bunny toys very cute. I've tried many  patterns over the years, but I'll admit, "lifelike" bunnies are my favorites. I would like to share with you this easy to make bunny crochet pattern. I hope you enjoy it!




To crochet this cute bunny you need:


  • yarn in brown and black colours (100% acrylic, 50 g/ 135 m)
  • 4.0 mm crochet hook
  • fiberfill
  • ribbon
  • big sewing needle and scissors


The finished crochet bunny is about 18 x 16 cm.


Skill level: intermediate


Abbreviations:


ch = chain

st = stitch

sc = single crochet

inc = increase (2 sc in one st)

dec = decrease (2 sc together)

sl st = slip stitch

(..) = repeat the instructions in brackets the given number of times

{..} = total number of stitches
