PATTERN NOTES
1) A ch1 at beg of the row DOESN'T count as a stitch
2) Magic ring = the starting point for crocheting in a spiral. Use which ever method you prefer.
3) Continuous spiral rounds - which means that you will not be joining the last stitch of the round with the first one. Instead you will need to keep track of where each round started and how many stitches you have made because after each round you will continue right on to the stitches of the next round (with no join). It is useful to use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to mark the start or end of each round.
4) ( ) – The number of stitches that should be in a completed round/row are placed in brackets at the end of that round’s/row’s instructions.
5) The CUTE MINI BUNNY AMIGURUMI TOY is crocheted in these parts using single crochet stitches:
HEAD
EARS
PAWS
6) This CUTE MINI BUNNY AMIGURUMI TOYmeasures
10 cm / 4 inch high (incl. ears)
7 cm / 2.7 inch wide
The finished size will depend on what yarn you use, as well as your tension and hook (as with any amigurumi).
*Measurements are taken from the garment lying flat, before the yarn has stretched out/dropped.
7) You can make the CUTE MINI BUNNY AMIGURUMI TOY bigger with a thicker yarn or smaller with a thinner yarn.
8) There is some sewing: you will sew the head on the body, the ears on the head, the hands and the legs and the tail on the body. This is easy to do, there are no tricks.

With dark brown yarn and a tapestry needle, embroider the MOUTH and NOSE onto the HEAD on the position in the middle of the eyes.
Make Mouth with a horizontal line between R13 and R14, with the same yarn you will go through the middle of the line you just made and pull it through R11 and R12.
Make a triangle shape or heart shape nose right between eyes.
STUFFING
The exact moment for starting filling and stuffing the toy depends on every single person. I prefer filling the toy with the work almost finished. It’s a bit more difficult to fill, but more comfortable to crochet. You should make proofs until finding the more suitable moment of filling for you.
Stuff head and body firmly and full. Shape as you stuff, make sure to shape the nose too.
Use a stuffing stick or the back end of a pencil to push the stuffing into the right spots.

To join the Head to the Body go with a sewing needle in front and back loops of each stitch around and pull as tight as you can.
FINISHING INSTRUCTIONS
Face: feel free to play around with different styles and looks. I kept the nose and mouth very simple with pink yarn inserted and wrapped in between the R13 and R14 row. The nose is also with the same brown color inserted and wrapped around the R12th row and finished off with a vertical line.
Eyelashes and eyebrows
You can embroider with color B 2 or 3 short rows around the eyes to make eyelashes and finish with a short eyebrows.
FINGERS/CLAWS
Color B
You can embroider "fingers" or claws on both paws. I sewed 3 vertical lines, one through the middle of the paw over the magic ring and another one a little 1-2 rows to the side, again symmetrically.
Make sure the head and the body is stuffed well before sewing, but not so firm that you can see the stuffing through the stitches.
Sew the EARS to the HEAD on the position on top of the HEAD, 4 rows from the magic ring. Shape the ears and stretch them up.
Sew the PAWS on the bottom of the BODY. They should be more towards the front so the body doesn't flop over. Pin the paws before sewing, sit it down on a flat surface to make sure it will sit up on its own. Sew in place and hide yarn tails in the body.
Sew the TAIL on the back of the BODY. Hide the yarn tails inside the body.
And voila! You made a CUTE MINI BUNNY!
