Tutor’s Suggestions

Work with whatever thin or thick yarn you have. The thickness will only change the size, not the charm.
Weave in your ends securely for a neater finish.
For small faces and details, try using a tapestry needle and very small bits of yarn—precision makes the bunny cuter!
If you’re new to embroidery, practice the mouth and nose details on a scrap piece first.

Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Main Bunny Face (White Yarn)

Chain 4, join with a slip stitch to make a ring.
Into the ring:
- Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), then 14 double crochets (dc) into the ring (15 dc total).
Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting ch-3.
Round 2: Ch 1. (Single crochet (sc) in next stitch, 2 sc in following stitch) repeat around (alternating 1 sc, 2 sc) for a total of around 22-23 stitches. Slip stitch to the starting ch-1 to join.

2. Bunny Ears (White Yarn)

Ear 1: Chain 12. Turn, skip first 3 chains, and work 1 dc in each chain back down (ending with 10 dc for the ear).
Skip 2 base stitches and slip stitch into the next stitch to anchor the ear.
Ear 2: Repeat another chain-12, skip 3, work 10 dc, skip 2 base stitches, and slip stitch to anchor the second ear.

3. Outline (Red Yarn)

Join the red yarn anywhere on the outer edge of the bunny’s head.
Single crochet in each stitch around the bunny’s face and around both ears.
- At ear corners: Make 2 single crochets in each curve/corner to keep the shape smooth and round.
Slip stitch to finish and weave in the end.

4. Bow Tie (Red Yarn or Ribbon)

Make a tiny bow out of a small piece of ribbon or red yarn.
Use a little hot glue to secure the knot and trim any excess.

5. Face Details

Eyes: Glue on plastic safety eyes, or sew/embroider small black yarn circles.
Nose: Roll a tiny piece of black yarn/felt into a ball, or embroider a triangle, and glue or sew onto the center of the face.
Mouth: With black yarn and a tapestry needle, embroider a tiny mouth below the nose.
Optional Floppy Ear: Use a piece of white yarn, secure the ear in a folded position with a small stitch using your needle and knot the yarn to hold the fold in place.

6. Final Assembly

Attach the bow tie to the bottom front of the face with a dab of hot glue.
Weave in all remaining ends.

Uses

Embellish Easter baskets, cards, pillows, or gift bags.
Make keychains, magnets, or brooches.
Sew or glue onto children’s hats or blankets.
