Isn’t this little bunny rabbit really cute! I made many different versions to find the best shape. I also showed the designs in my crochet Facebook group to get opinions about them. This is the result! There’s a step by step video to show you how to crochet it and a written pattern with a crochet chart.

Watch the March 2024 video:

The rabbit could be equally an Easter decoration or used on baby and children’s items.

 

Use the rabbit motif for

  • Easter cards
  • Easter table decoration
  • Coasters
  • Starch the bunnies and hang in window or doorway
    See my video about starching crochet using white glue
  • Sew on baby blanket or shawl
  • Sew on child’s clothing – e.g. as a patch in jeans
  • Baby mobile
  • Bunting in a child’s room
  • Children’s parties: as decoration, prizes or in going-away party bags

Tell me in the comments of other uses that come to your mind!

The rabbit is mainly in double crochets (US crochet term) but for the shaping I have used different sizes of stitches. I used mercerized cotton yarn and a crochet hook size 3 mm.That way the rabbit is 9 cm (3½ in) high.

You can use any yarn and hook but the size of your rabbit will depend on the yarn used. I like to use the bright coloured aluminium hooks but if I have a larger project, I prefer hooks with an ergonomic handle.

If you make the rabbits for a baby, I would suggest you sew on eyes or if you choose to use a button or a bead, make sure it is very tightly sewn on!

 

You can also make a lovely baby decoration or baby mobile by crocheting or sewing two rabbits together.
