Materials You’ll Need:
Before we get started, let’s gather all the materials you’ll need for this adorable amigurumi bunny:

Light blue: For the body, head, ears, arms, and legs.
Pink: For the nose.

Crochet Hook: A 3.5 mm hook (or a size appropriate for your yarn) works well for amigurumi.
Safety Eyes: 6mm or 8mm black safety eyes.
Stuffing: Polyfill to make the bunny plush and cuddly.
Tapestry Needle: For sewing the parts together and weaving in the ends.
Stitch Marker: To keep track of rounds (very helpful in amigurumi!).

Stitches You’ll Use:
Here’s a quick guide to the stitches you’ll be using throughout the project.

Magic ring (MR): A great way to start your crochet in the round, ensuring there’s no hole in the center.
Chain (ch): Foundation stitch.
Single crochet (sc): The basic stitch for amigurumi.
Increase (inc): Two single crochets in the same stitch to increase the stitch count.
Decrease (dec): Single crochet two stitches together to decrease the stitch count.

Crochet Pattern: A Step by Step Guide
Step 1: Crochet the Bunny’s Head
Let’s start by making the bunny’s head, which will give our bunny its round, sweet look.
With light blue yarn:
- Start with a magic ring.
- Round 1: 6 sc into the ring. (6)
- Round 2: Inc in each stitch around. (12)
- Round 3: (Sc in the next stitch, inc) repeat around. (18)

- Round 13: (Sc in the next 3 stitches, dec) repeat around. (24)
- Round 14: (Sc in the next 2 stitches, dec) repeat around. (18)
At this point, attach the safety eyes between rounds 9 and 10, leaving about 8 stitches between them. This gives the bunny its adorable, wide-eyed look.

- Round 16: Dec around. (6)
Stuff the head firmly with polyfill, then fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Next up, we’ll crochet the body, which will be small and round, giving our bunny that signature amigurumi cuteness.

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Make two ears, and set them aside.
Step 4: Crochet the Bunny’s Arms and Legs
The arms and legs are small and simple but add so much personality to the bunny. They’ll be short and slightly rounded.
Arms:
With light blue yarn:

Step 6: Assemble the Bunny
Now that we’ve crocheted all the pieces, it’s time to assemble the bunny!
- Attach the head to the body: Use the long tail from the body to sew the head securely onto the top of the body.
- Sew on the ears: Position the ears on the top sides of the head and sew them in place. You can angle them outward or leave them floppy for added cuteness.
- Attach the arms and legs: Sew the arms to the sides of the body, just below the head. Then attach the legs at the bottom of the body.
- Sew on the pink nose: Position the nose right between the eyes and sew it in place. You can also embroider a small mouth beneath the nose using pink or black yarn.
- Optional: Add a fluffy tail: If you’d like, crochet a small white ball for the tail and sew it to the back of the body for that classic bunny look.
Step 7: Add Final Details
Your light blue amigurumi bunny is nearly complete! Here are a few final touches to make it even cuter:
Add a bow: You can crochet a small bow to place on the bunny’s ear or around its neck for a playful touch.
