Looking for a quick no sew bunny crochet pattern for your spring crafting? This free amigurumi bunny is a fast project that makes a perfect addition to Easter baskets. Whether you use velvet, chenille, blanket, or worsted yarn, this pattern is designed to be completely assembly free. The legs, body, and head are worked continuously, while the tail, arms, and ears are crocheted directly into the piece.

Two finished amigurumi bunnies made with this no sew bunny crochet pattern lying on a white faux fur surface. One larger bunny is made with off white textured yarn and the other smaller bunny is made with a pink chenille yarn. This free bunny crochet pattern features floppy ears and a no-sew construction.

Designer’s Note: I originally designed this pattern with sewn-on ears, but I know how much makers (myself included!) value a truly no-sew project. I eventually re-designed it to be 100% no-sew, so you can finish your bunny without the worry of getting assembly right. I love this pattern for gifting and have made a blue version for my son and a lavender version for my daughter for Easter. They are the perfect size for little hands!

To ensure this pattern works up for every yarn type, I’ve included two different ear options. I personally prefer the second option for super fluffy yarns like blanket yarn, while the first option provides better stitch definition for a thinner chenille or acrylic.

I would classify this free no sew bunny crochet pattern as “advanced beginner”. It would be helpful to have had some experience with amigurumi before creating this project.

I hope you enjoy this free crochet pattern available here on my blog! An ad-free, formatted PDF version of this crochet pattern is also available for purchase here:

stitch Abbreviations

SC = single crochet
SC2tog = single crochet 2 stitches together (invisible decrease is recommended)

Special Stitches

SC2tog (using invisible decrease method): Insert hook into front loop of the first stitch. Insert hook into front loop of second stitch. Yarn over. Draw through the first two loops on hook. Yarn over. Draw through both loops on hook.

Notes

  • Checking your gauge is not required for this pattern. Use a hook that is smaller than the size recommended for your yarn weight. This will ensure that your stuffing will not show through the stitches.
  • This pattern requires no sewing. The legs, body, and head are all worked as one piece, and the tail, arms, and ears are worked directly into the body as you work, rather than sewing later.
  • All pieces, with the exception of ear option 2, are worked in the round. Use a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of each round.
  • Ear option 1 is worked in the round and is recommended for yarn choices that will show more stitch definition. Ear option 2 is worked flat and is recommended for yarn choices that are furry/fluffy.
  • Invisible decreases are recommended. Please see “Special Stitches”.
  • Safety eyes and noses pose a choking risk for babies; therefore, if making this toy for a baby, I recommend using yarn, felt, or embroidered details.
  • Legs, body, and head all require full stuffing. Stuff each piece as you work to ensure the piece is completely filled. Do not add stuffing to the tail or arms.  
  • See tutorial photos.

Tips for Success with Your Crochet Bunny

  • Master the Seamless Look: I highly recommend using the invisible decrease method for this crochet bunny pattern. Because the bunny is worked in continuous rounds, the invisible decrease ensures your SC2tog stitches blend together perfectly with your single crochets.
  • Track Your Rounds: Since this is a no sew amigurumi bunny, it’s easy to lose your place as you transition from the legs to the body. Use a stitch marker to indicate the first stitch of every round so your limb placement stays symmetrical.
  • Deep Dive: For even more ways to level up your work with this no sew bunny crochet pattern and other projects, check out my full list of amigurumi tips and tricks.

Customizing Your Amigurumi Bunny

One of my favorite things about this no sew bunny crochet pattern is how versatile it is with different yarn weights.

  • Go Plush: For a classic, squishy feel with this free bunny crochet pattern, I recommend using Parfait Chunky or blanket yarn. These thicker yarns make the bunny work up very quickly. Perfect for last-minute gifts.
  • Try Texture: Use a faux fur or boucle yarn to create a fuzzy, realistic look on your no sew amigurumi bunny. Note that stitches can be harder to see with fur yarn, so this is a great choice if you are comfortable “feeling” for your next stitch.
  • Size Variations: You can create an entire family of rabbits with this no sew bunny crochet pattern by simply changing your yarn and hook. If you aren’t sure which to pick, I have a guide on how to choose a hook size for amigurumi to ensure your stitches stay tight enough to hold the stuffing.

  1. Any tips to get 8 loops on your hook when attaching the ears? I’m totally at a loss, especially with chenille.

      1. Thanks for replying so quickly! I’m looking at Round 32, Ear option 1: “Place the first ear, and working through both the sts of the ear and the sts of the head, SC2tog (standard decrease),

        Isn’t that 2 loops for the ear and 2 loops for the head, times two for the decrease? The invisible decrease would only have 1 loop per stitch

        Reply

  2. Can you tell me which size the pattern is? I wanted to make the 11 inch bunny, but I don’t see where it specified which siz the pattern is for.

    Reply

    1. Hello! The pattern is the same, it is just the yarn and hook size that are different between the two. That info is all in the Pattern Specifics section. Hope that helps!
