Get ready for Easter with these bunny dolls. They are very quick and easy to make. This are the perfect pattern for beginners.
Pin it now, make it later!
These crochet bunny dolls are perfect to decorate your house for Easter, or to be used as peg dolls or worry dolls. They are small, make up very quickly, and use very little yarn. Now you have the perfect crochet pattern to use up all that scrap yarn you’ve been hording! It requires minimal sewing. The great thing about this pattern is, that you can use any size yarn and hook combo to make all different sizes of dolls.
Caution!
Please be very cautious when you make toys for babies or children under the age of 3. If you sew parts on it, make sure they are secure and safe.
I recommend, to embroider the eyes, as the plastic safety eyes can be dangerous. My tutorial for embroidery eyes can be found here.

Level: Beginner friendly
Size of the finished decoration, including the ear, if using the same yarn and hook size: 10cm
Please keep in mind, that I am using the yarn under technique. With this, the stitches are smaller and tighter, making the finished product smaller in size. If you yarn over, your finished product will be bigger. If you would like to achieve the same size as me and you yarn over, consider using a size smaller hook.
