Toy stuffing
Polyester
Authored selection for the head, body, feet, tail, and lower portions of the arms. Consumption is unmeasured.
10 mm black safety eyes with matching backs
2 eyes
Authored hardware selection for this decorative design; the reference does not establish eye diameter. Fit before closing the head. Hardware eyes are unsuitable for items intended for children under three.
If you swap a material
Cotton-blend yarn of the same nominal weight
Texture, stitch dimensions, drape, stuffing coverage, and finished size may change.
Use the same yarn family for all crocheted colors. Swatch and reassess hook size and proportions; equal labeled weight does not ensure identical results.
Embroidered eyes instead of hardware eyes
Removes the two hardware components and changes the facial finish.
Replace the two safety eyes with black cotton embroidery thread. Omit hardware installation at Head Rnds 8–13. Before stuffing, embroider a filled oval 3 stitches wide and 2 rounds high at each planned eye position, keeping 7 unworked stitches between the inner edges. Secure thread inside the head. This change alone does not establish toy safety.

Assembly & finishing
Embroider the face before stuffing
At the pause after Head Rnd 13, use three strands of dark brown embroidery thread to make a filled triangular nose centered on Head Rnd 11, approximately 2 stitches wide and 1 round high. From its lower point, make a straight stitch down to Head Rnd 12, then stitch two shallow outward curves, each 1 stitch wide, to form the mouth. With pink yarn, add two short horizontal stitches immediately below each eye across Head Rnds 12–13. Secure all embroidery ends inside the head without distorting the fabric. Resume at Head Rnd 14.
Join the head and body
Place the head's 18-stitch underside opening against the body's 18-stitch neck opening. Align the face with the body front. Using cream and a sewing tail, whipstitch through both loops of each corresponding pair of edge stitches, making 18 matched pairs around the neck. Add a little stuffing through the final gap if needed, then complete and secure the seam. Neither opening remains exposed.
Finish and attach both ears
Lay one pink inner ear on the forward-facing side of each outer ear. Point Inner ear Row 10 toward the rounded outer-ear tip and position the foundation end toward the closed base, leaving a visible cream border on every side. Sew each insert flat using small stitches around its entire edge, catching only the front layer of the outer ear. Position the two closed ear bases symmetrically on the crown, over Head Rnds 3–6, with the inner base corners approximately 3 head stitches apart. The tips point upward and slightly outward. Sew all 6 base stitches of each ear to the crown, then add a second line of attachment immediately behind each base through the lower outer-ear layer to support the upright position. Secure all tails.
Add paw pads and toes
Choose the magic-ring end of each foot as the visible front. Position one pink pad slightly below the center of this cream face, leaving cream visible around its entire edge. Sew all 12 pad-edge stitches to the foot surface. With pink yarn, embroider three separate vertical toe bars above the pad: one centered above it and one to either side. Make each bar approximately 1 cream stitch tall with two passes of yarn, leaving a cream stitch between neighboring bars. Secure the ends through the foot and bury them.
Attach both feet
Seat the body upright and place the two feet side by side at its lower front, with pink pads facing forward and gathered ends against the body. Align the inner foot edges with a gap of about 1 body stitch. Sew the upper rear surface of each foot, over Foot Rnds 6–8, to Body Rnds 3–6, using a broad attachment area approximately 6 body stitches wide. Keep both feet at the same height. Test the seated position on a flat surface before securing the tails.
Attach both arms
Place one arm on each side of the upper body, with the hands pointing down and slightly toward the feet. Sew each 3-stitch closed top edge horizontally to Body Rnds 14–15, approximately 4 body stitches to either side of the front center. Add one small securing stitch through the back of each upper arm into Body Rnd 13 so the hands remain forward. Secure and bury both tails.
Attach the tail
Center the tail on the lower back opposite the face, with its gathered closure against Body Rnds 4–6. Sew around the contact area through Tail Rnds 3–4 and the body surface. Keep the tail low enough to touch the seated surface lightly without lifting the feet. Secure and bury the tail.
Secure the scarf and flower
Wrap the scarf once around the neck seam, with its center at the back and the two ends crossing at the front. Leave enough ease to slide the blunt tapestry needle under the scarf without compressing the neck. Let one end hang slightly lower. Using coral, tack the scarf to the body at the back, both sides, and front crossing; sew the two overlapping layers together. Weave in its remaining ends. Place the flower over the front crossing with its yellow center facing outward. Sew the flower through its yellow center and the inner white petal bases to both scarf layers, keeping the petal tips free. Secure and bury the white tail.
Review and finish
Weave in or bury every remaining yarn end. Check both eyes, the neck seam, both outer ears and inserts, both arms, both feet and pads, the tail, scarf, and flower for secure attachment. Shape the ears and face gently, confirm the bunny sits evenly, and measure from the seated surface to the highest ear tip to compare with the intended height. Record actual size, yarn use, and any development changes during physical testing.
Maker tips
Keep both ears oriented with the pink inserts facing forward before securing their bases.
Attach the two feet at equal heights and let the completed bunny sit on a flat surface before tightening the final sewing stitches.
Use small amounts of stuffing and distribute it evenly so the head stays round and the feet retain a slightly flattened front.
Secure the scarf loosely around the neck and stitch the crossing in place so its placement is permanent.
Troubleshooting
Stuffing shows between stitches.
- Cause
- The hook and yarn combination produces loose fabric, or the piece is overfilled.
- Fix
- Remove excess stuffing. If gaps remain, remake the affected part with a smaller hook and check its proportions before proceeding.
The bunny tips forward or sideways.
- Cause
- The feet are sewn at different heights, or the head is attached off center.
- Fix
- Loosen the affected attachment, align the head with the body center, and reposition both feet symmetrically. Test the seated position before securing all tails.
The inner ear puckers.
- Cause
- The sewing stitches are too tight or the insert has been stretched.
- Fix
- Lay the insert flat on the outer ear, distribute the edge stitches evenly, and sew without pulling. Keep the cream border visible.
The scarf is too tight for the sample.
- Cause
- Actual stitch width differs from the unmeasured design selection.
- Fix
- Remake the scarf using the specified longer-scarf variation, then secure it without compressing the neck seam.
Variations
Single-color bunny
Use the selected cream yarn instead of pink for both inner ears, both paw pads, all six toe bars, and both cheek accents. Keep every stitch count and attachment unchanged. Omit the pink yarn from the material list for this version.
Longer scarf
For a sample that needs more neck ease, replace Scarf Row 1 with: ch 52; sc in the 2nd ch from the hook and in each remaining ch across, giving 51 sc. Work Scarf Rows 2–3 across all 51 stitches. Finish and secure it as described in assembly; the strip remains 3 rows wide.
Care & finishing
Care
For the selected cotton yarn and polyester filling, gently spot-clean with mild detergent and cool water. Avoid rubbing the embroidery or pulling the eyes. Reshape and air-dry completely. Follow the actual yarn, stuffing, and hardware care labels if they are more restrictive.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the exact pattern used for the reference bunny?
No. It is an original construction inspired by visible features of the supplied image. The source's hidden rounds, materials, measurements, and assembly are not established.
Will these counts produce an 18 cm bunny?
Approximately 18 cm is an intended height, not a measured result. Yarn, hook, stitch tension, stuffing, and ear placement affect size. No measured gauge or physical test is available; confirm the dimensions with a sample.
Why is the difficulty intermediate?
The design combines shaping, several paired components, flat inserts, facial embroidery, eye installation, petal groups, and precise sewn assembly.
How much yarn and time should I allow?
Actual yarn consumption and making time are unmeasured, so the corresponding fields are null. Weigh the yarn before and after a physical sample and record your working time to establish useful values.
Do the ears need wire?
No wire is specified. Dense fabric, unstuffed flattened ears, and two lines of sewing at each base provide the intended support. Their final posture needs confirmation during physical testing.
Can this be made for a young child?
This draft specifies a decorative figure with small attached components and hardware eyes, which are unsuitable for children under three. Embroidered eyes are an available substitution, but the entire construction still needs an appropriate safety assessment before any toy use.
