After the teddy bear and the cat, it was the time for a bunny. Bunnies are probably one of the most popular animals in Amigurumi. It’s not surprising, because they are cute and perfect for a baby as a mascot. My bunny is about 25 cm tall and has an extended, crochet dress.

In this tutorial, I would like to show you how to crochet a bunny. It’s a little more advanced project and will require some experience. However, beginners are also invited to take up the challenge. Maybe you’ll find out that fear (or rather rabbit) has only big eyes.

Christmas is coming. Such a crochet bunny will certainly be one of the most outstanding and delightful gift that children can find under the Christmas tree 🎁🎅🎄
