About This Bunny Lovey Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern shows you how to crochet a Bunny Lovey — a cuddly toy with long ears and a lovey-style body. Youll work the head, ears, forelegs, hind legs, tail and the textured lovey body in separate pieces, then assemble them together. The instructions use spiral technique for smooth amigurumi rounds and include embroidery steps for the face.

Why You'll Love This Bunny Lovey Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it creates a soft, timeless lovey that feels handcrafted and special. I enjoy the combination of amigurumi shaping for the head and limbs with a textured, slip-stitched lovey body — it gives the toy both character and practicality. The pattern is satisfying to make from start to finish, with clear rounds and well-paced assembly steps. I also love how easy it is to customize color and size so each bunny feels unique.

Switch Things Up

I love customizing this lovey by changing the body color to make seasonal or themed versions — pastel pink for a baby shower or soft gray for a neutral nursery.

You can change yarn weight and hook size to make smaller keychain versions or larger cuddle-sized loveys; just adjust stuffing and proportions as you go.

I often switch the embroidery floss colors to give different facial expressions — try brown for a softer look or embroidery in white for a whimsical face.

For extra texture, try adding a tiny crocheted scarf or bow in a contrasting color and sew it around the neck before final assembly.

I sometimes add a small bell or crinkle square inside the lovey layer for sensory play — make sure any additions are securely enclosed and safe for the intended age.

Try using a boucle or slightly fuzzy yarn for the head and limbs for a super-soft tactile result, keeping the body in smooth yarn for contrast.

I recommend testing stitch tension on a small swatch when you change yarn or hook to keep the stuffing from showing through.

For baby-safe versions, avoid small detachable parts and embroider all details securely so there are no choking hazards.

I like to embroider a small initial or date on the inside of the lovey using the tail before final assembly — it makes a lovely personalized gift.

If you want a sturdier toy, consider weaving in a bit more stuffing and using tighter stitches; for a floppy lovey, loosen the tension slightly and use softer stuffing.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not using a smaller hook for amigurumi can leave gaps where stuffing shows; choose a hook slightly smaller than the yarn recommendation and check your gauge so stuffing remains hidden. ✗ Forgetting to stuff gradually causes lumps or flat areas; stuff in small amounts progressively to create an even, rounded shape and adjust shaping as you go. ✗ Skipping stitch counts during increases and decreases leads to misshapen pieces; count stitches after each round, especially during change rounds, and mark round starts if needed. ✗ Not securing embroidery ends properly will cause loose threads; anchor and weave ends inside the head thoroughly and trim excess to prevent unraveling.

— Recommendation :

Info :

The toys should be crocheted with tight stitches, so that when filling and stretching the material, the stuffing will not become visible. To do this, it is necessary to select a hook which is smaller than it is recommended on the yarn tag. It all depends on the density of knitting that you get. Every experienced amigurumi maker feels which hook is needed for certain to obtain high knitting density and achieve a neat result.

Info :

We should continue crocheting the second pant leg. At the beginning of the row, we need to make a chain stitch (ch), then, it is necessary to make hdc in the next 17 loops of the second pant leg and hdc at the point where pant legs are connected (in the 18th loop of the previous row). Next, we need to make hdc at the point where pant legs are connected, along the first pant leg (in the first loop of the first pant leg). After that, we should crochet in a circle along the first pant leg making 35 hdc (to the point where pant legs are connected), hdc in the connection point of the second pant leg, and then, along the second pant leg, till the end of the row, we should make 17 hdc and close the circle with sl st. There are 72 loops in this row. (72)

Info :

Fasten off, leaving about 7.9 inches (20 cm) of yarn end. Then, with the help of a needle, tighten the hole.

— How to join the legs and start working the body :

Info :

We use a needle for sewing and yarn tail of leg 1. Connect: St #19 of Leg 2 and St #36 of Leg 1. St #18 of Leg 2 and St #1 of Leg 1. You may need to shift the legs in a circle and choose the other two points where the legs connect to each other so that the socks are looking in the right direction. The weight of the thread and the density of the hook can affect this bias.

— Assembling :

Step 1 :

We should attach the head to the body. It is necessary to join the third from the end row of the head and the second last row of the body. These rows of the head and the body contain the same number of loops (18). In order to attach them together, we need to make 18 double stitches.

Step 2 :

After that, it is necessary to attach forelegs to the body on the sides, at the distance of one row from the head. We should make 9 double stitches.

Step 3 :

Then, we need to attach the ears using the ends of the yarn that we left before. Ears are attached to the fourth row of the head. The distance between the ears should be 9 sc (across the face). Then we need to fasten off and cut the yarn, hiding the ends inside of the head.

Step 4 :

Now, we will make the face. Using the teal blue DMC floss, embroider the nose between rows 16 and 17. The stitch width of the triangle nose is 3 sc and its height is 2 rows. After that, we should pull the needle out of the lower part of the nose and move it down by 2 rows to make a mouth. We need to pull the needle to the beginning of the mouth stitch and fix the yarn. Then, make a couple more stitches for the nose, fix the yarn, and cut it hiding the ends inside of the head. Then we should take the black thread and embroider the eyes.

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach head to the body by joining the third-from-the-end row of the head to the second-last row of the body and make 18 double stitches to secure them together.
  • Position and attach the forelegs to the sides of the body one row below the head, securing each foreleg with 9 double stitches to hold them in place.
  • Attach the ears to the fourth row of the head using the long yarn tail from each ear, spacing them with 9 sc between for symmetry, then weave in and hide ends inside the head.
  • Use teal blue DMC floss to embroider the triangular nose between rows 16 and 17 (3 sc width, 2 rows tall); stitch the mouth by moving the needle two rows down from the lower part of the nose and secure ends inside the head.
  • Embroider the eyes with black floss after the nose and mouth are in place, checking photos for placement and expression before fixing threads.

Important Notes

  • 💡Crochet tightly to prevent stuffing from showing through; use a smaller hook if stitches look loose on your yarn.
  • 💡Leave long yarn tails when fastening off specific pieces (ears, legs, tail) so you have enough to sew them securely into place.
  • 💡Stuff pieces gradually and firmly, but avoid overstuffing which can distort shaping and make assembly difficult.
  • 💡Change hook sizes exactly where instructed (2.5 mm to 3.0 mm) to achieve the correct density and body shaping.
