Why You'll Love This Bunny with Colorful Ears Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because the plush yarn creates an irresistibly soft and huggable bunny that looks professional with minimal effort. I enjoy how the colorful inner ears and bow let you add personality and play with color combinations. The design of making the body and head in one piece simplifies assembly and gives a sturdy finished toy. Sewing details like the cinched muzzle and embroidered brows make the face expressive and unique, which is always the most rewarding part for me.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this bunny by changing the inner ear color; try pastel shades for a softer look or vibrant tones for a playful style.

I often switch yarn types: using a bulkier plush yarn and a larger hook creates a chunkier, cuddlier version, while a lighter yarn gives a small, delicate toy.

I like to adjust eye placement to change expressions — moving eyes slightly higher gives a more surprised look and lower gives a sleepy vibe.

For a pocket-sized version, pick sport or DK weight yarn and a smaller hook to scale down the pattern proportionally.

I sometimes embroider freckles, a smile, or add a tiny felt accessory to give personality and story to each bunny I make.

If you want posable limbs, I sometimes insert thin craft wire into the arms and legs before stuffing for gentle poseability.

Try different bows and accessories: a tiny scarf, a crocheted dress, or a small flower crown all change the character completely.

I recommend testing different eye sizes — 6 mm to 12 mm — to see what best matches the finished face proportion for your chosen yarn.

To make a themed bunny, coordinate bow, belly button and inner ear colors for holidays or nursery palettes for a cohesive handmade gift.

Don’t be afraid to mix textures: a fuzzy yarn for the body with a smooth cotton for the ears can create a charming contrast that highlights the ear shape.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stuffing as you go leads to lumps and uneven shaping; stuff gradually and evenly while you crochet each section to keep the shape smooth and consistent. ✗ Not placing the belly stitch marker will make muzzle placement difficult later; put the marker between the 3rd and 4th decrease in R19 to guide eye and muzzle positioning. ✗ Using inconsistent tension when switching between plush and regular yarn can change gauge; maintain steady tension and practice the transition row to keep stitch counts accurate. ✗ Forgetting to fold and secure edges before sewing legs and arms causes bulky seams; fold the upper edge and make the recommended sc stitches into both edges to create neat openings for sewing.

Round 2-17 :

Make a band to pinch the bow in the middle in a similar way: 3 ch. R1: 2 sc starting from the 2nd ch from hook, turn (2). R2-7 (6 rows): 2 ch, 2 hdc, turn (2). Fasten off leaving a tail approximately 30 cm long.

Info :

Sew the ends of the bow using the tail. Then fold the bow making 2 neat folds and secure them. It's more convenient to fold and secure the front and rear parts of the bow separately. Wrap the middle of the bow with the band and secure it with a needle.

— Assembling and Decorating :

Info :

Cinch the muzzle: Use the cream yarn for cinching. Insert the needle at the base of the muzzle, in between R26 and R27 (at Point 1, where we did 12 dec and 12 inc) and exit near the left eye (Point 2). Skip 1-2 sc and again insert the needle (Point 3) and back to the starting point (Point 1). Skip 1 sc to secure the end. Repeat for the second eye socket (insert the needle in Point, then 5, and go back to Point 1). Repeat if necessary. After cinching, weave in the ends.

Info :

Using the black embroidery thread, sew the brows and the line from the nose to the mouth (place of cinching in Point 1).

Info :

Attach the nose with glue.

Info :

Sew the hands in between R26 and 27.

Info :

Sew the legs precisely under the arms in R7.

Info :

Place the ears onto the head, choose the position you like most, sew. I sew on the top of the head, with 4-5 sc in between.

Info :

Sew the bow near the ear.

Info :

Sew the belly button with the bright pink yarn (the same color as the bow).

Info :

Your bunny is ready!

Assembly Instructions

  • Cinch the muzzle using cream yarn: insert the needle at the base of the muzzle between R26 and R27 (Point 1), exit near the left eye (Point 2), skip 1-2 sc, insert needle (Point 3) and return to Point 1; secure and repeat for the second eye socket, then weave in ends.
  • Attach the nose with glue (Moment Crystal or fabric-safe glue) centered above the cinched line and secure firmly until dry.
  • Sew the hands between R26 and R27 using matching cream yarn, ensuring symmetry on both sides of the body.
  • Sew the legs precisely under the arms at R7 so the bunny sits balanced, pinning pieces first to check positioning before sewing.
  • Place the ears on top of the head with 4-5 sc in between, sew each ear firmly and hide ends inside the head.
  • Fold the bow, secure with the band, and sew the bow near one ear; embroider the belly button with bright pink yarn to match the bow.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers to mark the belly center (between 3rd and 4th decrease in R19) to help position eyes and muzzle accurately.
  • 💡Stuff firmly but not too tightly for the head to allow cinching later; overstuffing will prevent shaping the muzzle.
  • 💡Pin parts in place and check symmetry before sewing everything permanently to achieve a balanced finished toy.
  • 💡Work with consistent tension and change colors cleanly at recommended rounds to keep stitch counts and edges neat.
