10 Snuggly Free Bunny Crochet Patterns

This roundup includes several bunny amigurumi projects in various styles and shapes, from simple to more complex. I’ve also included some unique patterns, like a food-themed bunny who comes with her own tiny banana. Another bunny is only stuffed in its head, hands, and feet, so it’s perfect for little ones to snuggle and carry around. Finally, I’ve chosen some bunny-themed home decor items that you can add to your Easter display.

All of these patterns are relatively easy to crochet, but there is some variation in skill and time investment required to complete them. You can whip up several of these patterns in an hour or less. Or invest several hours to complete a detailed Easter bunny pattern, complete with his own carrot car and crocheted Easter eggs. No matter what, hopefully you will enjoy these patterns and find inspiration for your spring crocheting.

The Best Yarn for Crocheting Bunnies

The kind of yarn you choose will depend on what texture you would like on your finished product. Of course, since most of these bunnies are meant for cuddling, you’ll want to choose a soft yarn. Many popular designs use chenille, like Premier Pixie Dust Brights. Velvet or even faux fur would also make soft and squishy bunny loveys.

If you’re making a more sculptural pattern, like the chocolate bunny or the amigurumi bunny with his carrot car, you will want a yarn that will hold its shape. In this case, an acrylic or cotton yarn will work better. The key is to use a crochet hook that is one or two sizes smaller than recommended on the yarn label. This way you will create a sturdy fabric with no openings for the toy stuffing to come out.

Bunny From a Square

To make this simple little bunny, you only need to be able to crochet a square. You can use essentially any yarn weight or stitch, as long as it’s a perfect square. Just make sure you choose a dense stitch so the stuffing doesn’t come out of your bunny. You could even knit your square if you like. Wouldn’t this be a fun way to use up all your gauge swatches? The magic is in how you fold and seam it.

The whole process only takes less than an hour, including crocheting the square. So if you’re pressed for time or need quick Easter gifts for a bunch of kids, grandkids, nieces, or nephews, this is the perfect solution.
