Materials
To make the witch bunny you will need:
– A 2.5mm crochet hook
– Grey, black, purple, orange and brown yarn
– A tapestry needle and scissors
– Stuffing
– Safety eyes
– Pipe cleaner for the stirring stick (optional)
– A stitch marker to help you keep track of the start of the round
Please note that you can make the witch bunny using any size crochet hook and yarn weight for a smaller or bigger result. I like using DK as it’s most commonly available. If you make amigurumi, it is usually recommended to go down a bit from the recommended hook size for the yarn to allow for a no-hole look (we don’t want to see the stuffing show through in between stitches)! Using DK yarn and a 2.5mm crochet hook, the bunny should be about 15-20cm tall.

Assembly
To assemble our cute little witch bunny, sew the head to the body first, making sure the wider side is facing front/back. Fold the ear together at the bottom and sew it to the head. Sew on the arms (I made them rather long, so you should start sewing them on relatively far to the back) and then the tail. Now take the cape and sew it around the neck. If you made them separately like I did, sew the trim to the hat. Then insert a bit of stuffing into the hat and sew the hat to the head. For the cauldron, Insert some stuffing, then place the potion and sew it on. This can be a bit tricky, but just take your time and you can do it! Lastly, insert a bit of pipe cleaner into the stick if you want to (otherside stuff it slightly) and sew it to the potion bit. Done!
