Hello peeps!
Let’s say I wanted to get this pattern out by Easter and it has taken me this long to write it down. Hope you don’t mind, I know you wouldn’t. 🙂
Crochet Hook : 2.5mm
Yarn : Medium weight gray colored yarn
Note: Worked in continuous rounds without joining each time.
If there’s a semi colon in between rounds it means those rounds are sc around without an increase or decrease.

Finish and leave a long tail to sew the body to the head
Rabbit’s eyes:
I’m not sure if I did full justice to her eyes, I wanted some naive looking ones and my husband says it makes her look like an owl.
Using black coloured yarn,
Round 1: Magic Circle, 6sc into the circle & then pull it close. (6)
Round 2: 2 sl st in each sc around. (12)
Adding the white coloured yarn,
Make 8 sc in a semi circle.
Rabbit’s ears:
Using pink coloured yarn, the ears are worked in single crochet through and I hope it makes sense to just put down the number of stitches in each row if it is 1sc in each sc
Row 1: Chain 7 (6)
Row 2: (6)
Row 3: (6)
Row 4: 2sc(inc),1sc in each sc(4), 2sc(inc). (8)
Row 5: (8)
Row 6: (8)
Row 7: 2sc(inc),1sc in each sc(6), 2sc(inc). (10)
Row 8: (10)
Row 9: (10)
Row 10: 2sc(inc),1sc in each sc(8), 2sc(inc). (12)
Row 11: (12)
Row 12: (12)
Row 13: 2sc(inc),1sc in each sc(10), 2sc(inc). (14)
Row 14: (14)
Row 15: (14)
Row 16: (14)
Row 17: 1sc(dec),1sc in each sc(10), 1sc(dec). (12)
Row 18: 1sc(dec),1sc in each sc(8), 1sc(dec). (10)
Row 19: 1sc(dec),1sc in each sc(6), 1sc(dec). (8)
Row 20: 1sc(dec),1sc in each sc(4), 1sc(dec). (6)
Using gray coloured yarn single crochet around the ears. I have a feeeling it would look better with a furry yarn.
Rabbit’s legs:
Using gray colored yarn and working in rounds,
Round 1: Magic Circle, 6sc into the circle & then pull it close. (6)
Round 2: 2sc in each sc around. (12)

Finish, stuff and sew all the parts to its body.
Rabbit’s skirt:
Using pink colored yarn, join in at the region where the top of the dress meets the undergarments of the bunny.
Round 1: sl st around. (40)
Round 2: [sc in the next 4 sl st, 2sc in the next sl st]* 8 times (48).
Round 3: [sc in the next 5sc, 2sc in the next] * 8 times. (56).

Now for the scalloped trim at the end,
[sc, chain 2, skip 1] repeat around the skirt.
For the collar I have joined in the pink colored yarn in a similar manner at the neck, and worked in rounds till it looked like one.
Thank you for this cute pattern.
So cute
This rabbit very pretty I would like to have this pattern much. Thank You
Thank you so much for this adorable pattern. Can you please tell me what the size is?
going to try to make it for my great granddaughter either for Christmas or her first birthday in January! Love the way the eyes are crocheted. TIA.
Adorable pattern…thank you for sharing this with us. I will be making this soon.
Sorry I dont know how to crochet the tail. Can you help please?
Hi Karen, I simply wound the yarn around a pen, (similar to how you’d wrap yarn to make pom poms) tied all the loops with a small piece of yarn and pulled it out.
I love this bunny! The pattern seems to be incomplete though. The directions only tell how to do the inside of the ear (the pink part). They don’t tell how to do the outside of the ear (gray). Also there are no directions on how to connect all of the pieces together. Help, please!
Hello Jennifer,
Thank you! I’ve mentioned in the post that I’ve single crocheted with gray coloured yarn around the pink part like how you’d do the blanket edges. And my choice of yarn would be a furry one so it looks better and doesnt look uneven in places. I’ll see if I can come up with instructions to join them, thanks for letting me know. ?Good day!
is round 20 of the head right ? I keep having a extra 2 stitches, it seems to be too short on decreases, it reads to decrease 12 stitches where I think it should be 14 ? help please xx
so wish i had the talent to do stuffed animals and dolls….soooo cute….my old hands just cant do it…but love looking….thanks
Can you please tell me for the ears, are they worked in rounds?
I really love this rabbit. Can you explain how you sculpture the head to get it to look like that.
HI Joan, thanks for asking. I tried to get the shape of the face while stuffing, once I stuffed the face I used black yarn and needle to make triangular sockets for the eyes. There’s a picture below the pattern for the head that might give you an idea as to how its done. Also sewed in the nose and mouth and then tried to stuff more for the cheeks so it looked like a chubby bunny. Hope I’m making sense.
Managed to sort out the ears. I am surprised with the decreased stitches and the grey crochet stitches around, the shape of the ears are thus formed. Thanks a lot for the lovely pattern
This is such a cute bunny! I’m going to start working on her now, thank you!
I think there is a mistake with the body. The head is made up of 20 rounds, but the body is only 17 rounds? Makes a very small body that isn’t like the photo shown
Hi Kim,
The body is small because the rabbit is sitting down, the skirt manages to hide the differences when the doll is done and it does look like it is in the picture. I have indeed written down everything that I have done to make the rabbit, sorry that it doesn’t agree with you.
Thank you! 🙂
