Free Bunny Pants Crochet Amigurumi Pattern

Hello! I’m J.A. Poolvos from Little Bear Crochets and I’ve prepared a free pattern for you. It’s a perfect project to busy yourself with during the upcoming Easter weekend!

Using the recommended yarn and hook, this bunny will turn out to be 20 cm (7.8 inches) tall. However, you can use any other type of yarn and matching hook size to make him bigger or smaller.

You will be crocheting in continuous rounds, which is the regular way to crochet amigurumi toys. If you’re not familiar with amigurumi, check out my blog post on how to start with amigurumi.

The abbreviations used are:
sc = single stitch
inc = increase
dec = decrease
( … ) = repeat what is between the brackets
[ … ] = total amount of stitches in that round
fo = finish off (with a slip stitch)

You will need:

30 grams of Diva Natural 100% Cotton in Cream
10 grams of Diva Natural 100% Cotton in Pastel Green
One pair of safety eyes of 6 mm
Stuffing
A single black thread
A single pink thread
Size 3.0 mm Clover crochet hook
Tapestry needle
Embroidery needle

For the bunny in the picture I personally used:
6 mm eyes
3.0 mm hook
Diva Natural 100% Cotton in Cream
Diva Natural 100% Cotton in Pastel Green

Tips:
+ Stuff really firmly!
+ Stitch very tightly, so no holes show when stuffing. You can do this by using a smaller hook than your yarn label recommends, and by pulling your thread a little after every stitch.

Head

Use white yarn.

1. 6 in a magic circle [6]

2. (inc) x 6 [12]

3. (sc, inc) x 6 [18]

4. (2 sc, inc) x 6 [24]

5. (3 sc, inc) x 6 [30]

6-11. sc around [30]

Put the eyes between row 8 and 9 with 6 stitches between them.

12. (3 sc, dec) x 6 [24]

13. (2 sc, dec) x 6 [18]

Start stuffing and keep stuffing while you crochet along.

14. (sc, dec) x 6 [12]

15. (dec) x 6 [6]

Fo and work away your thread.

Ear (make 2)

Use white yarn.

1. 6 in a magic circle [6]

2. (inc) x 6 [12]

3. (sc, inc) x 6 [18]

4-5. sc around [18]

6. (4 sc, dec) x 3 [15]

7. sc around [15]

8. (3 sc, dec) x 3 [12]

9. sc around [12]

10. (2 sc, dec) x 3 [9]

11. sc around [9]

Fo and keep a long thread for sewing. Don’t stuff.

Take your tapestry needle and sew the two ears on top of the head. Make sure the ears are facing towards the front of the head, where the eyes are! When you’re done, take your embroidery needle and black thread. Embroider a bunny’s nose in the middle of the face, a little below the eyes. Use the step-by-step embroidery drawing and the picture below as a reference.

Leg (make 2)

Use white yarn.

1. 6 in a magic circle [6]

2. (inc) x 6 [12]

3-14. sc around [12]

Switch colors to blue yarn.

15-17. sc around [12]

Fo your first leg. Don’t fo the second leg!

Take both your legs. You will continue crocheting around, starting from your endpoint at the second leg, but instead of crocheting another round on your second leg, continue crocheting around your first leg. Once you’ve done all 12 sc, continue once again on your second leg and make 24 sc around there. This way you will mend the two legs together and make one new large round of 24 sc. This will count as round 1 of the body.

Body

1. follow the instructions above [24]

2-3. sc around [24]

4. (dec, 10 sc) x 2 [22]

Switch colors to white yarn.

Start stuffing the legs and stuff the body as you crochet along.

5. sc around [22]

6. 5 sc, dec, 9 sc, dec, 4 sc [20]

7. sc around [20]

8. (dec, 8 sc) x 2 [18]

9. sc around [18]

10. 5 sc, dec, 7 sc, dec, 2 sc [16]

11. sc around [16]

12. (dec, 6 sc) x 2 [14]

13. sc around [14]

14. 4 sc, dec, 6 sc, dec [12]

Fo and leave a long thread for sewing.

Arm (make 2)

Use white yarn.

Stuff while crocheting along.

1. 6 in magic circle [6]

2-13. sc around [12]

Fold the top flat and sew the two sides together with 2 sc.

Fo and leave a long thread for sewing.

Tail

Use white yarn.

1. 5 in a magic circle [5]

2. sc around [5]

Fo and leave a long thread for sewing.

Now sew all the parts together. First sew the body and head together by using the thread of the body and your tapestry needle. Next sew the two arms to the sides of the body. Lastly, sew the tiny tail on the bunny’s back, in the middle of the lower half of the torso.

The last thing to do is to embroider the bunny’s belt. Take your pink thread and your embroidery needle. You enter the pants from the front, between the center crochet stitches. Now embroider around the top line of the pants. You will go over 1 crochet stitch, then under the next crochet stitch. Repeat this all around until you are at the front again. Exit through the entry hole. Tie a bow with the remainder of your thread.

You’re done! I hope you enjoyed working through this pattern. If you like this free pattern, you can support me by purchasing one or more of my patterns here. Thank you!
