Cozy Winter Bunny – Complete Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Gathering Your Supplies

To get that soft, classic amigurumi look, a smooth cotton or cotton-blend yarn is highly recommended.

  • Yarn: Worsted weight cotton or acrylic blend (e.g., YarnArt Jeans, Catania, or similar, approx. 160m / 50g). You will need small amounts of:
    • Cream/Off-White: For the head, body, arms, legs, and ears (approx. 50g)
    • Grey: For the earmuffs (small amount)
    • Pink: For the scarf (small amount)
    • Black: A tiny amount of embroidery floss for the face
  • Hook: 2.5 mm or 3.0 mm (choose the size that gives you a tight, stuff-proof gauge).
  • Notions:
    • Poly-fil stuffing
    • Tapestry needle
    • Scissors
    • Stitch markers

What you'll master: Working with multiple colors, seamless shaping, and creating cute, modular accessories.

2. Abbreviations & Special Techniques

  • sc: Single crochet
  • inc: Increase (2 sc in one stitch)
  • dec: Decrease (2 sc crocheted together invisibly)
  • sl st: Slip stitch

3. The Head (Cream)

The head is worked in a continuous spiral, building up to a perfectly round, plush shape.

  • R1: 6 sc in MR (6)
  • R2: 6 inc (12)
  • R3: (1 sc, inc) x 6 (18)
  • R4: (2 sc, inc) x 6 (24)

  • R15: (2 sc, dec) x 6 (18)
  • R16: (1 sc, dec) x 6 (12)
  • Finishing: Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Do NOT close the hole yet—we'll attach the body first!

4. The Ears (Make 2, Cream)

These long, perky ears give the bunny its classic silhouette.

8. Assembly & The Magic of Embroidery

Now for the most rewarding part: bringing your bunny's personality to life!

  1. Head to Body: Sew the completed head securely to the top of the body.
  2. Ears: Sew the ears to the top of the head, spacing them evenly.
  3. Limbs: Sew the arms to the upper sides of the body, and the legs to the bottom front, spacing them evenly so the bunny sits nicely.
  4. The Face: This is where the magic happens! Thread a tapestry needle with black embroidery floss.
    • Eyes: Embroider two tiny, simple 'x' shapes or short vertical lines, spaced about 6-8 stitches apart.
    • Nose/Mouth: Embroider a tiny 'x' right in the center, just below and between the eyes.
  5. Dress Up: Wrap the pink scarf snugly around the bunny's neck and tie a cute knot or bow. Place the grey headband over the ears and sew the ear cups to the sides of the head, covering the base of the ears.

What you'll master: Multi-step structural assembly and expressive surface embroidery.
