Picking the Perfect Yarn for Your Crochet Easter Bunny Amigurumi

Choosing the right yarn is super important for your bunny stuffies, but it can be varied as well. You could choose a soft fuzzy yarn, a plush blanket yarn, a smooth worsted weight yarn, a velvet yarn, wool yarn, cotton or cotton blend yarn, or acrylic yarn…the sky’s the limit! I will say that most people want their bunny to be cuddly and soft. So, look for yarns that will work with the pattern you choose. That’s the easiest way.

But pay attention to the care instructions on the yarn as well, as you want it to be easy to wash.

Oh, and as for colors, you could go with more traditional Easter bunny colors of spring. Think pastel pinks, greens, yellows, and of course, bunny white! Or, nobody is stopping you from choosing bold colors or even speckles. I certainly won’t stop you from crocheting a hot pink bunny. Choose colors you love 💕.

Easy-to-Follow Patterns for Crocheters of All Levels

Whether you’re a crochet newbie or a pro with the hook, there’s a crochet Easter bunny amigurumi pattern out there for you. I’ve got a list of my favorite patterns that are clear, simple, and so much fun to make. You’ll find yourself creating a whole family of bunnies before you know it!

Make Your Bunnies Special with Accessories

Okay, let’s talk more about how to set your Easter bunny apart from the rest. Sure, you chose an awesome pattern, but maybe you want to give your crochet bunny its own personality with cute accessories! Think tiny crochet carrots, sweet little bow ties, crochet hearts, or even a mini Easter egg. These small details make your bunnies one-of-a-kind and super special.

Some of the little things I’ve seen that make the bunny rabbit a little extra are an extra fuzzy tail, long ears, whiskers, eyelashes, or moveable limbs. One of my friends even added magnets to the inside of a crochet heart and the paws of the hands on her bunny so the bunny could hold the heart! It’s so darn cute and super clever!

Just a note of caution ⚠️ : if you are making this stuffie for a baby shower or a kit, be sure to use caution. When making stuffed toy accessories, you don’t want to accidentally make something that can be a hazard to small kids, so make sure you follow laws for toy products and, of course, use your common sense.

  • Using a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each new round throughout all stuffed animal patterns is helpful, and we suggest doing it for this bunny too.
