Crochet Instructions for the Plush Bunny

Hands (Make 2)

Start crocheting with the accent color (for example, the white yarn). Stuff only the lower part of the paw before changing the yarn color.

  1. Round 1: 5 sc in a magic ring (5)
  2. Round 2: 5 inc (10)
  3. Rounds 3-4: 10 sc (2 rounds)
  4. Change yarn to the main color.
  5. Rounds 5-6: 10 sc (2 rounds)
  6. Round 7: (1 sc, 1 dec) x 3, 1 sc (7)
  7. Rounds 8-10: 7 sc (3 rounds)

Fold the piece in half and crochet 3 sc through both edges. Fasten off and cut the yarn.

Paws (Make 2)

Start with the accent color.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in a magic ring (6)
  2. Round 2: 6 inc (12)
  3. Round 3: 12 sc
  4. Change to the main color.
  5. Rounds 4-7: 12 sc (4 rounds)

Crochet two paw pieces. For the second piece, without cutting the yarn, crochet 1 ch and join the paws together. Continue crocheting the body with the main color.

  4. Round 8: 1 dec, 18 sc (19)
