Free crochet bunny pattern: a Shy Bunny with a Love Letter amigurumi, about 12 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. It is a white bunny with one folded ear peeking over a big pink envelope with a red heart seal, holding it with tiny paws and blushing. You need about 90 m of yarn: 60 m white, 10 m light pink, 5 m pink, 5 m cream, 5 m hot pink and 5 m red. Plan on roughly 3 hours. It makes a charming Valentine present or a small desk buddy for a bunny lover. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.

How to crochet the Shy Bunny with a Love Letter

Intermediate · 12 cm tall · about 3 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 12 pieces in rounds: Bunny, Ear, Folded ear, Hind foot ×2, Tail, Cheek ×2, Envelope flap, Heart seal, Arm ×2 (92 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 10 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.

Gauge

1 sc ≈ 4 mm wide, 1 round ≈ 3.6 mm tall (10 cm ≈ 25 sc × 28 rounds); yarn about 1.9 mm thick. The gauge sets the size of the toy; crochet tightly so the stuffing does not show.

Worked in

Continuous spiral rounds. Don't join. Move a stitch marker up every round.

  1. Size before assembly: about 9.3 cm at the widest, 7.7 cm long; 31 rounds.
  2. → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  3. Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

  1. Size before assembly: about 3 cm at the widest, 5.4 cm long; 16 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre front line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff it lightly — a thin layer, just enough to hold the walls apart: the ear about 10.8 mm thick, with thick rounded edges. Then shape it into a spoon: push the front wall toward the back wall — a concave spoon about 2.9 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 30 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 45 %) -->

After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces forward on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 6, on the centre front line). It is a gradual bend: with the needle and matching yarn run a line of stitches along the inner side from round 3 to round 9, one stitch in every round along one column, then pull the yarn until the piece bends to the angle (the inner side gathers by about 6 rounds) and fasten off inside.

  1. Size before assembly: about 1.6 cm at the widest, 1.6 cm long; 5 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff firmly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  1. Size before assembly: about 2.1 cm at the widest, 1.6 cm long; 6 rounds.
  2. → Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  3. Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

  1. A flat circle about 1.5 cm across; 2 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  1. Flat motif — triangle (worked in turned rows, one layer of fabric), about 2.9 × 5.6 cm; 8 rows.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (~30 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Weave in the starting tail, pin the motif out to shape on a soft surface and steam it lightly.

  1. Flat motif — heart (worked in rounds, one layer of fabric), about 2.8 × 2.8 cm; 2 rows.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (~30 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Weave in the starting tail, pin the motif out to shape on a soft surface and steam it lightly.

  1. Size before assembly: about 1.1 cm at the widest, 2 cm long; 6 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

  • Safety eyes with a printed glint 10–12 mm (on the bunny): in round 20, 9 st apart (count along round 20: about 4.3 st each side of the centre front line).
