Hi, I’m Hakan — an amigurumi designer with more than 10 years of experience creating crochet toys that are both charming and durable. In this post I share 24 amigurumi bunny ideas illustrated with photos to inspire makers at every level. You’ll find projects suited for beginners (simple rounds, basic shaping) through advanced crocheters (colorwork, jointed limbs, embroidered faces). I recommend common, easy-to-care-for yarns like DK or worsted-weight acrylic and cotton blends for structure, plus a few textured or faux-fur yarns for tails and accents. Practical tips I use in my own designs include working a slightly tighter gauge for firmer stuffing, using safety eyes or embroidery depending on the recipient, reinforcing limb joins, and sewing pieces with mattress stitch for a neat finish. Throughout the gallery and pattern notes I highlight hook sizes, stuffing recommendations, and finishing touches to help you bring each bunny to life.

When choosing yarn for your amigurumi bunnies, prioritize fiber and weight that match the project’s purpose: acrylic or cotton blends in DK/worsted weights give good stitch definition and durability for toys, while plush or faux-fur yarns add texture for tails and scarves. Use a hook one or two sizes smaller than recommended to tighten your gauge and prevent stuffing from showing. Master techniques like invisible decrease, invisible join, and surface crochet to create smooth shaping and neat facial features; for baby-safe toys, embroider features instead of using safety eyes. Experiment with creative variations—scale up with thicker yarn and larger hooks, create seasonal outfits, mix color panels, or add jointed limbs for poseability. Always finish by securing and weaving in ends, evenly stuffing for balanced shaping, and reinforcing seams that will receive handling.
