Why You'll Love This Bunny with Colorful Ears Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it creates such an impressive, oversized bunny that makes a stunning gift or room decoration. The combination of plush yarn and detailed features results in a professional-looking amigurumi that's surprisingly achievable. I especially enjoy working the two-toned ears that give this bunny its signature look, and the cinching technique for the muzzle adds such realistic dimension to the face. The fact that the body and head are worked together eliminates tricky joining, making this large project actually quite relaxing to create. Every time I finish one, I'm amazed at how the simple stitches come together to create something so charming and huggable!

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with color combinations for this bunny pattern! Instead of light pink ears, try using bright rainbow colors for each ear section to create a truly whimsical friend. You could also make seasonal variations - pastel colors for spring, warm oranges and browns for autumn, or even festive reds and greens for a holiday bunny.

For a more sophisticated look, I sometimes work the entire bunny in neutral tones like cream and beige, then add a pop of color with just the bow. This creates an elegant, minimalist aesthetic that works beautifully as nursery decor.

If you want to add extra personality, consider embroidering little details like freckles across the nose area or adding eyelashes above the safety eyes using black embroidery thread. Some makers even add small felt hearts or flowers to the ears for extra charm.

For baby gifts, I recommend making a smaller version using DK weight yarn and safety-locking all pieces securely. You can also create a whole bunny family by adjusting yarn weights - imagine a mama bunny with baby bunnies in different sizes!

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not stuffing the neck firmly enough between rounds 26-27 can result in a wobbly head that doesn't hold position properly ✗ Forgetting to place the stitch marker at the belly center in round 19 makes it difficult to position the eyes symmetrically later ✗ Over-stuffing the head before cinching makes it impossible to shape the muzzle properly and can distort the facial features significantly ✗ Not leaving long enough tails when fastening off pieces makes assembly difficult and can result in weak connections that pull apart ✗ Skipping the back loop only instruction in round 6 of the legs eliminates the important color transition line detail ✗ Placing ears too close together or too far apart changes the entire expression and character of the bunny dramatically

Assembly Instructions

  • Cinch the muzzle by inserting needle at the base between rounds 26-27 and creating eye sockets on each side following the detailed instructions
  • Embroider the facial features using black embroidery thread for brows and the mouth line from nose to chin area
  • Attach the 19mm nose securely with Moment Crystal glue at the center of the muzzle area
  • Sew arms to the body between rounds 26 and 27 where the neck meets the body structure
  • Position and sew legs under the arms at round 7 of the body for proper proportion
  • Place ears on top of the head with 4-5 stitches between them and sew securely in your preferred position
  • Attach the decorative bow near one ear and embroider a belly button using bright pink yarn

Important Notes

  • 💡Stuff the neck area between rounds 26-27 very firmly to prevent the head from being wobbly
  • 💡Place stitch marker at belly center in round 19 as it guides proper eye placement later
  • 💡Don't over-stuff the head before cinching as you need flexibility to shape the muzzle properly
  • 💡Leave long tails when fastening off all pieces to make assembly easier and connections stronger
  • 💡Pin all pieces in place before final sewing to ensure you're happy with positioning and proportions
  • 💡The finished bunny is quite large at 65cm so plan for adequate stuffing material

FAQs

What yarn can I substitute for Himalaya Dolphin Baby?

You can use any plush or velvet yarn with similar weight (approximately 120m/100g). Popular alternatives include Bernat Velvet, YarnArt Dolce, or Himalaya Dolphin. Keep in mind that different yarns may result in a slightly different finished size.

How do I prevent the head from being wobbly?

The key is to stuff the neck area between rounds 26-27 very firmly before continuing to work the head. This narrow section acts as a support structure, so pack it tightly with stuffing to ensure the head stays upright and stable.

Can I make the bunny smaller or larger?

Yes! To adjust size, use a different yarn weight and corresponding hook size. For a smaller bunny, try worsted weight yarn with a 3.5mm hook. For an even larger bunny, use bulkier yarn with a larger hook. Remember that your final size will vary accordingly.

What's the best way to position the ears?

Pin the ears in several different positions before sewing to see what looks best. Most makers place them on top of the head with 4-5 stitches between them, but you can position them more to the side for a floppy look or closer together for a different expression.

Do I need to use safety eyes or can I embroider them?

While the pattern calls for 9mm safety eyes, you can absolutely embroider the eyes instead, especially if making this bunny for a small child. Use black yarn to create circular shapes, or try satin stitch for a glossy appearance.

How much stuffing will I need for this project?

For a 65cm bunny, you'll need approximately 400-500 grams of polyester fiberfill stuffing. It's better to have extra on hand, especially for the body and head which need firm stuffing for proper shaping and structure.
