Crochet Bunny Pattern Free Tutorial

With Easter just around the corner, I have created a Crochet Bunny Pattern Free step by step tutorial for you. You can make my little cute crochet bunny in any yarn of your choice with the matching crochet hook. I have made a few of these crochet bunnies in various weight yarns and with the finest yarn these bunnies make a perfect little brooch.

My Easy Crochet Bunny pattern is written below with a simple step by step written photo tutorial or if you prefer a video tutorial, I have also made a Youtube video.

Materials

• 50 meters bunny coloured yarn
• 2 meters contrasting bunny coloured yarn for tail
• 2 meters of pink yarn
• Matching crochet hook to your yarn

Gauge: N/A. Use the smallest crochet hook you can with your chosen yarn to create tight stitches, this will help your bunny keep its shape.

Notes: The rabbit is made in parts. The body, head and tail are made in a spiral. The ears are made in contrasting yarn with the eyes & nose is embroidered. If you wish add a brooch pin at the back.
