Crochet your own baby bunny with adorable cheeks and floppy ears in a sweet and cuddly pose! This amigurumi rabbit is the perfect gift for bunny lovers and those born in the Year of the Rabbit!

Note that the free crochet pattern can be found HERE on my blog, and it contains all the process photos and collages.

I used approximately 22 g/51 yds of Chainette Yarn in “Ecru” and 5 g/11.5 yds of Chainette Yarn in “Beige”. Chainette is 80% Baby Alpaca, 18% Virgin Wool and 12% Polyamide. Choose a yarn that can be fuzzed up with a dog slicker brush (has some natural fibers in it or acrylic yarn that has a halo to it).

We started a fun tradition of designing the zodiac amigurumi of that year since January 2011. The series has now been completed this year in 2023 as we have designed all the animals: Lamb, Dragon, Rooster, Monkey, Pony, Snake, Rat, Dog, Chinese New Year Doll, Pig, Ox, Tiger, and now Rabbit. They are all available as free patterns on my blog or as PDF’s here on Ravelry (condensed documents that contain all the step-by-step pictures). Enjoy these zodiac amigurumi designs!

We have designed other bunnies throughout the years! Be sure to check out these crochet bunnies: Spring Bunnies, Sweetheart Bunny, Boucle Bunny and Fleece Bunny.
