Amigurumi Bunny

I am already thinking about Easter and Spring crafts. I usually make a bunch of cute bunnies and everyone loves them! I use plush yarn, Bernat Blanket is my favorite for cuddly plushes.

Bernat yarn is plush and tends to work up quicker than using worsted weight yarn. I am sure if you use a different type of yarn for your project, your bunny will be just as adorable. you may need to make a few alterations but HAPPY HOOKING!

I did not make up this pattern, I remember saving it into a word document many years ago but I can’t find the original anywhere!!! If you happen to know the original creator (was also a free pattern) please let me know.
