SKILLS YOU NEED

chain, single crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, slip stitch, increase, decrease

ABBREVIATIONS

• Ch =chain
• St = stitch
• Sc =single crochet
• Sl st = slip stitch
• dec = decrease stitch (two single crochets together)
• inc = increase stitch (two single crochets into one stitch)
• Dc = double crochet
• Rnd = Round

TIPS

• Do not join rounds, work in a continuous spiral.
• Use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark the end or the beginning of a round
• All stitches are worked into both loops, unless stated otherwise in the pattern.
• Amigurumi can be made in any desired colours.

Seamsless way of changing color when working in the round

Pick up the new color at the end of the round: inset your hook into the stitch, yarn over the new color and pull through the stitch and the loop on your hook to complete the stitch.

SHIFT STITCH

Sometimes during a work of the spiral amigurumi, you need to keep the work symmetrically. As work tends to twist to the right you need to adjust position of the marker periodically (beginning of the round).

Shift stitchis an extra stitch you work at the end of a round to make your work look symmetrical. If you notice that marker moves right, you need to work one extra stitch in the end of the round and move marker for one stitch (now 2nd st of the round becomes 1st). this is shift stitch.

The shift stitch is not included in the round description. To check if it’s time to work shift stitch fold your work in half and check if marker still goes straight or use a yarn that marks a straight line.

You may think this is a increase, but it isn’t. This way you don’t increase or decrease the amount of stitches. The stitches count remains the same.

ASSEMBLY

Since all the elements of your bunny are crocheted, it´s time to sew them together. Use a blunt sweing needle.

Ears are attached to the head now. Thread a needle on one of the yarn tails left from the ears, fold the bottom of the ear toward center and sew it to the other side. Place the ears in their right place on the head. Using the yarn left sew them to the head of your bunny. Be sure to step back and take a look to make sure they are even.

Sew the pocket to the pants..

Attach straps as shown on the pic.

Attach two buttons to the pants. Weave in all ends.

Mark where you want the eyes to be placed with pins and sew them with the distance of 4-5 stitches to the head of the bunny.

Embroider nose with pink color yarn. Begin with the outline of the upside down triangle. Insert the needle through the top of the head and pull it through leaving a little bit of a tail. Then insert the needle again and pull it through where you want your bunnys nose to be. Fill in the triangle, and finish the uneven lines. At the end pull the needle out the same hole it originally went into, so that both yarn tails are coming out of the same hole. Tie a knot with both yarn tails, as close to the surface of the head as possible. Hide the yarn tails inside the head.

Add a line to the nose using pink color yarn. Weave in all ends.

Embroider mouth and eyebrows with black color yarn. Proceed to the smile if desired. You can also add eyelashes. Weave in all ends.
