I adore the look of handmade dolls stitched together with beautiful fabric prints. I knew in order to get that look, I would need to create a doll that was flat, squishy and floppy. I wanted it to be made from muted colors with colorful pops of texture and it must have a simple, stitched on face.

These bunnies are created amigurumi-ish style with some differences. The arms are created first and the rest of the bunny is made as one piece! The arms get crocheted into the body as you go along so there is NO SEWING! Well, if you choose to make a dress and embroider the face, etc., there will be some sewing, but the bunny base – no sew.

Supplies:

Worsted weight yarn for the bunny – I used I Love this Cotton
Contrasting yarn for the scarf – I used Paton’s Classic Wool DK Superwash
3.5 mm crochet hook
Scissors
Needle for sewing down yarn tails
Stitch marker (or scrap of yarn) – optional
Poly-fil or stuffing of choice
Embroidery Floss
Needle for embroidery details
Optional 1.75 mm hook for crocheting cheeks
Optional acrylic paint for painting cheeks
Optional pom-pom for a tail
Optional scrap of fabric, straight pins, thread, tape measure and small piece of elastic for the dress
