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 🎁🎅🎄

I have been passionate about DIY since my childhood, and my innate patience and accuracy make the whole process of creation a lot easier for me and that gives me a lot of satisfaction and pleasure. During my first pregnancy I learnt how to sew, what resulted with few tutorials about sewing clothes for kids on the blog. In the beginning of my second maternity leave, I have learned how to crochet amigurumi from yt. I found out, that I really love it, that’s why so many blog posts describe my crochet creatures.
