Free Crochet Pattern for Snuggle Bunny

stitch Abbreviations

st = stitch
sl st = slip stitch
ch = chain
SC = single crochet
SC2tog = single crochet 2 stitches together (invisible decrease is recommended)
DC = double crochet
DC2tog = double crochet 2 stitches together

Special Stitches

SC2tog (using invisible decrease method): Insert hook into front loop of the first stitch. Insert hook into front loop of second stitch. Yarn over. Draw through the first two loops on hook. Yarn over. Draw through both loops on hook.

Notes

• Checking your gauge is not required for this pattern. Use a hook that is smaller than the size recommended for your yarn weight. This will ensure that your stuffing will not show through the stitches.
• This pattern requires no sewing. The legs, body, and head are all worked as one piece, and the tail, arms, and ears are worked directly into the body as you work, rather than sewing later.
• All pieces, with the exception of ear option 2, are worked in the round. Use a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of each round.
• Ear option 1 is worked in the round and is recommended for yarn choices that will show more stitch definition. Ear option 2 is worked flat and is recommended for yarn choices that are furry/fluffy.
• Invisible decreases are recommended. Please see “Special Stitches”.
• Safety eyes and noses pose a choking risk for babies; therefore, if making this toy for a baby, I recommend using yarn, felt, or embroidered details.
• Legs, body, and head all require full stuffing. Stuff each piece as you work to ensure the piece is completely filled. Do not add stuffing to the tail or arms.  
• See tutorial photos.

For a more feminine bunny, attach the bow on the top of the head, either in front of one ear, or centered between the ears.

Angling the blanket to be in a diamond shape rather than a square, attach head to the middle of the blanket. Be sure to sew to the top loops of the blanket only to ensure a clean underside of the blanket.

For a more masculine bunny, attach the bow below the head as a bow tie.

Attach arms to the blanket on either side of the head, facing towards the front, close enough that they appear to be connected to the head.

Tips & Tricks

• When selecting your yarn, be sure that you choose a fiber that can withstand frequent washing. I typically lean towards acrylic yarns when making amigurumi toys and loveys. My favorite acrylic yarn is Brava.
• Use the invisible decrease stitch for your SC2tog stitches so that they blend in with your other single crochet stitches on this free bunny lovey crochet pattern.
• Using pins while assembly will keep your pieces in place to ensure proper placement.

Alterations

• Creating a larger blanket on this free bunny lovey crochet pattern is simple; just add additional rows following the same pattern to the desired length.
• If creating this lovey as a toy for ages 3 and under, be sure to use an alternative for safety eyes. Embroidered sleepy eyes would look so cute!
