free crochet pattern | cute easter bunnies
These crocheted bunnies were inspired by Big Block Sing Song , a simple, squishy square with ears and a face. So quick and easy to make, plump and delicious with just a minimal amount of embroidery for the bunny faces.
Pattern in UK terminology (video tutorial below).
Body
Chain 16 using any DK yarn and a 4mm hook.
Row 1. 1 half treble into the 3rd chain from the hook, half treble in each chain to end, turn.
Row 2. Chain 2, 1 half treble in each stitch across, 1 half treble in beginning 2 chain, turn.
Row 3. Chain 2, 1 half treble in each stitch across, 1 half treble in top of turning chain, turn.
Repeat Row 3 until you have a 12cm length. Finish.
Sew up edges, stuff (with stuffing of course) and sew up top so you have a squidgy little square.
Ears
Chain 14 using the same yarn and hook.
double crochet into 2nd chain from hook, 1 half treble into each of the next 2 stitches, 1 treble into each of the next 2 stitches, 1 double treble into each of the next 2 stitches, 1 treble into each of the next 2 stitches, 1 half treble into each of the next 2 stitches, 1 double into each of the final 2 stitches.
Now slip stitch into the top of the chain because you are going to work your way back up the other side of your work, mirroring the stitches from above, so once in place you will work.
1 double into each of the first two stitches, 1 half treble into each of the next 2 stitches, 1 treble into each of the next 2 stitches, 1 double treble into each of the next 2 stitches, 1 treble into each of the next 2 stitches, 1 half treble into each of the next 2 stitches, 1 double into each of the last 2 stitches.
Sew the ears onto the top of your plump little squares, don’t worry if they bend, it makes the bunnies look even cuter.
Using any weight black yarn, embroider two eyes in place in the form of plain dots.
Using any weight pink yarn, embroider a nose in the shape of a capital letter Y.
For the fluffy bunny tail you can either make a mini pom pom (the fork method works well), or get some white or cream yarn and cut lots of little strands of equal length - easy to do by winding yarn around a paper clip and then cutting the edges - tie a longer piece of yarn around the middle, fluff it and sew it onto the back of the bunny.
