Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with different color combinations for this Straight Bunny pattern! While the original uses classic white with a teal scarf, you could create an entire rainbow family of bunnies in pastels like soft pink, lavender, mint green, or butter yellow. For a more modern look, try gray or beige bunnies with contrasting bright scarves in coral, mustard, or navy blue.

Another fun variation is to add embroidered flowers or hearts to the body using surface crochet or simple embroidery stitches. You could also create seasonal bunnies by changing the scarf color - red and green for Christmas, orange for fall, or pastel colors for Easter. I've even seen crafters add tiny accessories like felt flowers between the ears or small embroidered patches on the body.

For a completely different look, try working the ears in a contrasting color for the inner ear effect, or add stripes to the body by changing colors every few rounds. The scarf could be replaced with a tiny vest, bow tie, or even a miniature crochet sweater for extra cuteness. Some makers like to add wire to the ears so they can be posed, which gives the bunny even more personality and display options.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Forgetting to stuff the legs before joining them together, which makes it difficult to add stuffing later through the small opening ✗ Placing safety eyes too close together or at the wrong rounds, affecting the bunny's facial expression and overall appearance ✗ Overstuffing the body and head, which can distort the stitches and create an uneven texture instead of smooth fabric ✗ Not using a stitch marker when working in continuous rounds, leading to miscounts and misshapen pieces that don't match the pattern

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the head to the body by adding extra stuffing to the head first, then sewing halfway around before adding more stuffing to ensure a wobble-free connection.
  • For the small bunny, attach ears between rounds 3 and 7 counting from the top of the head where the magic ring begins.
  • For the large bunny, sew ears between rounds 3 and 9 on the head for proper placement and proportion.
  • Attach arms to the body between the last two rounds, using 4 holes for the small bunny and 5 holes for the large bunny to secure each arm.
  • Position and sew the tail to the bottom back of the bunny's body, finding the best placement for balance and appearance.
  • Embroider facial features using black embroidery thread, creating the mouth with a vertical line down from the nose and adding curved eyelash lines above each eye.
  • Wrap the scarf twice around the bunny's neck and either button it (small bunny) or tie it in front (large bunny) for the finishing touch.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use a smaller hook than your yarn label suggests (3.00mm or 3.50mm for aran weight) to create tight stitches that prevent stuffing from showing through
  • 💡Always use a stitch marker when working in continuous spiral rounds to avoid losing your place and creating misshapen pieces
  • 💡Stuff the legs immediately after crocheting them and before joining, as it becomes difficult to stuff through the small body opening later
  • 💡Leave yarn tails longer than usual for sewing pieces together, as amigurumi assembly requires secure stitching for durability
  • 💡When flattening pieces like ears and arms, press and shape them with your fingers before crocheting the final stitches to ensure even, symmetrical results
  • 💡Use pins to position all pieces before sewing to check placement and ensure your bunny has the desired look and proportions

FAQs

Can I use a different yarn weight for this pattern?

Yes, you can use any yarn weight as long as you adjust your hook size accordingly. Use a hook at least one size smaller than your yarn label suggests to create tight stitches. Keep in mind that different yarn weights will result in different finished sizes than stated in the pattern.

Why should I use a smaller hook than recommended on my yarn label?

Using a smaller hook creates tighter stitches with less space between them, which prevents the fibrefill stuffing from showing through the fabric. This gives your amigurumi a professional, neat appearance with smooth surfaces.

Do I need to stuff the ears and arms?

No, the ears should not be stuffed at all. For the small bunny arms, no stuffing is needed. For the large bunny arms, add just a small amount of stuffing to the tip (hand area) after round 10, but leave the rest unstuffed for natural movement.

How do I join the two legs together without creating gaps?

Make sure to stuff both legs firmly before joining them. When you crochet the chain between legs and work around both legs, maintain consistent tension. Use the photos in the pattern as a guide, and remember to place your stitch marker in the first stitch after joining to keep track of your rounds.

What's the best way to embroider the facial features?

Use approximately 50cm of black embroidery thread and follow the step-by-step photos provided. Insert your needle from the bottom of the head, leaving a tail inside. Create the nose by going in and out of the marked holes 3 times, then create the vertical mouth line and curved eyelashes. The pattern includes detailed photos showing each step of the embroidery process.

Can I sell bunnies made from this pattern?

Yes, you can sell finished toys crocheted from this pattern. The designer requests that you mention Tatie Soft Toys as the pattern designer, which is greatly appreciated. However, you cannot resell or redistribute the pattern itself.
