Crochet Bunny – Written Pattern

What You’ll Need:

- Pink yarn (for the nose)
- Crochet hook (matching your yarn size, I’d suggest a 4mm or 5mm)

- A couple of stitch markers (or safety pins)

Granny Square Bunny Rabbit Pattern
Step 1: Crochet the Square
We’re going to start by making a simple square with single crochet stitches (SC).
1️⃣ Chain 26.
2️⃣ Row 1: Make a single crochet (SC) in the 2nd chain from your hook. Continue making one SC in each chain across. (You’ll have 25 SC total.)
3️⃣ Row 2: Chain 1, turn your work. Make a SC in each stitch across. (Still 25 SC.)
4️⃣ Keep repeating Row 2 until your piece is a perfect square.
How do you know it’s a square?
Just fold it diagonally—if the edges line up neatly, you’ve got a square! If one side is longer, just add or remove rows until it folds perfectly.
5️⃣ When you’re done, cut the yarn but leave a long tail for sewing.
Step 2: Fold the Square
Now, here’s where the magic happens!
1️⃣ Fold your square upwards (so it looks like a rectangle). Press down a little so you can see the fold.
2️⃣ Open it up and place a stitch marker on each side of that middle crease—this helps us see the center.
3️⃣ Fold it again from right to left (so it’s a tall, skinny rectangle). Press to make a crease.
4️⃣ Place another stitch marker at the top of this new fold.
Now we have our little markers to help guide us while sewing!
Step 3: Sewing the Bunny’s Head
1️⃣ Cut a long piece of yarn (the same color as your square) and thread it onto your darning needle.
2️⃣ Insert the needle at the right-side stitch marker and do a running stitch to the other middle stitch marker. (Just simple in-and-out stitches.)
3️⃣ Now, stitch diagonally up to the top stitch marker, then back down diagonally to where you started.
Pull the yarn gently, and watch the bunny’s head take shape! It will cinch together into a cute little bubble.
4️⃣ Before closing completely, add a little stuffing to make the head nice and round. Then pull tight and knot securely.
5️⃣ If there’s a little hole at the top, just sew it closed with the yarn tail.
Step 4: Sewing the Bunny’s Body
1️⃣ Take the bottom half of your square and sew the two edges together to form a tube.
2️⃣ Stuff the body with poly-fil to make it soft and cuddly.
3️⃣ Sew the bottom closed by stitching through the front loops of each stitch around, then pull tight to cinch it closed. Knot it well and tie off.
Now your bunny has a head and body! Look at that cutie! 😍
Step 5: Adding the Bunny’s Face
Eyes:
- Take black yarn and thread it onto your needle.
- Insert the needle where you want the first eye, pull through, and make a little straight stitch.
- Pop the needle out where you want the second eye, make another stitch.
- Do a few stitches for each eye to make them stand out, then tie off and secure.
Nose:
- Use pink yarn and stitch a few little horizontal lines to make a cute bunny nose.
- Add a small vertical stitch for detail if you like.
- Tie off and hide the ends inside the bunny’s head.
