fanny Bunny Free Pattern

 

For the bunny, you will need:

• White yarn (preferably YarnArt Jeans or Alize Cotton Gold)
• Polyester stuffing
• 8 mm safety eyes
• Yarn for the dress and boots (use acrylic for the dress and something sturdier for the boots to maintain their shape)
• Cotton thread for embroidering delicate eyelashes
• 2.5 mm crochet hook
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Stitch marker (optional)

The bunny stands approximately 30-32 cm tall when using the specified yarn.

Leave a tail of 35-40 cm for sewing the head closed.

Note: If you plan to glue the eyes (rather than inserting them), it's advisable to do so at the very end to avoid damaging them. The distance between the eyes is 7 SC. It's recommended to first insert safety pins and then embroider 3 eyelashes for each eye. Afterward, lightly glue the eyes. I will use half-beads and Moment Gel glue.

Gently embroider a pink nose on the next row below the eyes.

Through trial and error, we've found that if you're using YarnArt Jeans or Alize Cotton Gold yarn, you can crochet up to row 18-19 directly. The main thing is to form a round ball, as shown in the photo. This also depends on the tightness of your crochet work.

Ears (2 pieces)

1. Row 1: 6 SC in the magic ring.
2. Row 2: (1 SC, INC) repeat 3 times. (9)
3. Row 3: (2 SC, INC) repeat 3 times. (12)
4. Row 4: 12 SC
5. Row 5: (2 SC, INC) repeat 4 times. (16)
6. Rows 6 to 18: 16 SC
7. Row 19: (2 SC, DEC) repeat 4 times. (12)
8. Row 20: 12 SC

Leave a long tail for sewing the ears together and attaching them to the head. I usually sew them on around rows 3-4.

Bow for the Ear

• Bow: Chain 18 + 1 chain for turning.
• Row 1: SC in each chain. (18)
• Row 2: SC in each stitch. (18)

Fasten off, wrap yarn around the center, and sew it onto the ear.

Arms (2 pieces)

1. Row 1: 5 SC in the magic ring.
2. Row 2: INC in each stitch around. (10)
3. Rows 3 to 25: 10 SC

Lightly stuff the arms to help them maintain their shape.

Boots + Legs (2 pieces)

Start by crocheting the boots.

1. Row 1: Chain 6. Starting from the second chain from the hook: 4 SC, 3 SC in the last chain. On the other side of the chain: 3 SC, 3 SC in the last chain. (13)

6. Row 9: 4 SC, DEC 3 times, 9 SC. (16)
7. Rows 10 to 15: 16 SC
8. Continue crocheting 3 SC to ensure the end of the row is at the back of the leg, in the center.
9. Row 16: Crochet in the FRONT LOOP ONLY of each SC. (16)
10. Row 17: Work BACK POST STITCHES as follows: Chain 2, start making the back post stitch from the next stitch, at the end pull the hook through the chain 2 we started with, then insert it into the last stitch of the previous round, pull the yarn through, pull it through the 2 loops on the hook, cut the thread, hide it inside the boot using a needle. (16)

Stuff the boot and leg part.

Body

Chain 3 between the legs, join, and continue crocheting in the round:

1. Row 1: 34 SC
2. Row 2: 6 SC, INC, 8 SC, INC, 8 SC, INC, 9 SC. (37)
3. Rows 3 to 8: 37 SC
4. Row 9: 4 SC, DEC, 5 SC, DEC, 4 SC, DEC, 5 SC, DEC, 4 SC, DEC, 5 SC. (32)
5. Rows 10 to 13: 32 SC
6. Row 14: (4 SC, DEC) repeat 5 times, 2 SC. (27)
7. Row 15: 27 SC

Sew the arms approximately at row 18 of the body.

7. Rows 7 to 13: 64 SC
8. Row 14: Work a back post stitch border.

Since everyone uses different yarn and has different crochet tension, try the dress on your bunny. You may need to chain more or fewer stitches in row 4. Also, in row 5, I crocheted 13 SC into the chain space, but you can do fewer if the dress fits well. Adjust the length according to your bunny. I made the dress using thinner cotton yarn compared to YarnArt Jeans.
