Cute Bunny Rabbit Crochet Pattern!

I have the cutest free crochet bunny pattern to share with you today! This little bunny rabbit was inspired by a very important design request from my daughter. She wanted a special stuffed animal to keep in her backpack for school. Something soft to hold when she’s missing home… and obviously something cute enough to show off to her friends too! She’s a girly girl and her favorite color is pink, so I came up with a floppy-eared bunny wearing a pink t-shirt.

Crocheting Your Bunny

This bunny is crocheted from the top down, starting with the head and body as one piece. Then you’ll crochet the ears, tail, arms, and legs separately and sew them on. I’ve included lots of photos and notes for each step to make things as simple as possible!

I used Berroco Comfort worsted weight yarn in “Barley” and “Pretty Pink” for the bunny in these photos. I love this yarn for crocheting stuffed animals because of how soft and durable it is. Feel free to use whichever worsted weight yarn that you like for your bunny, but if you want to try out Berroco Comfort, I highly recommend it!

The finished bunny measures about 9 inches tall with the legs stretched out, or around 6 inches sitting. So, it is the perfect size for little hands, Easter baskets, or just hanging out on your desk looking adorable.

To give your bunny its squishy, huggable shape, you’ll need some polyester fiberfill (also known as Poly-Fil), which you can find at any craft store (I’ve also seen it on amazon). Just a small handful will do for this project. Enough to fill the body and limbs so your bunny holds its shape without looking like it hit leg day too hard. You can also use yarn scraps in a pinch, but polyfil gives the softest, most even finish.

Notes Before you Start This Free Crochet Bunny Pattern:

  1. I worked my single crochets in the back loop to make it easier to count my rows and because I like the way it looks.
  2. Work your rounds in spirals and do not join at the beginning of each round. You will need to use a stitch marker to mark your rounds.
  3. Each round has the total number of stitches for the round in brackets.  If you are unsure its always a good idea to count your stitches.
