- Embroidery thread for face details

- Scissors (I like these mini scissors with a protective sheath that you can keep in your crochet project bag)
Abbreviations
- Sc = single crochet
- 2tog = 2 stitches together
- Ch = chain
- St = stitch(es)
Notes
- The number in parentheses at the end of each step is the number of stitches that round should have. Counting your stitches at the end of each round will help you make sure that you didn’t miss a stitch and are on track with the pattern.

25. Sc across the top of the leg to close. Leave a long tail to use for attaching to the body.
Tail
Tail is optional. If you prefer a floppier bunny, feel free to skip the tail – but if you want your bunny to sit up more easily, the tail helps to offer support. It can look cute to make the tail in a different color 🙂Â
1. Slip knot. Ch 2.
2. Work 6 sc into second chain from hook (6).
3. Work 2 sc in each st (12).
4. Sc 1, 2 sc x6 (18).
5-9. Sc (four rows of 18).
10. Sc 1, sc 2tog (12).
11. Sc 2tog (6).
*Pause here and stuff the tail.
12. Sew the hole closed, leaving a long enough tail to use for attaching to the body.
Assembly
First sew the ears onto the head, and then sew the head to the body. Attach the legs to the body and finish with the tail.
To add a face, use embroidery thread to stitch on a nose and eyes. I recommend stitching on the face details (instead of using safety eyes) so that the bunny is suitable for young children.
