Odie the Bunny ~ A Free Crochet Pattern

My children have been asking me for another pet for years! Though my family loves animals, I’m more worried about potty training a two year old than I am another pet. So what do I do when they persist? Create one for them instead! Now they have a bunny to love without all the extra care. And now you can make one too using this free faux fur bunny crochet pattern!

Bunny Ears (make 2)

Next, leaving a longer tail for sewing ear in place, ch 5

R7: Ch 1, turn, starting in same, hdc3tog – 1 st

Then, finish off and weave in Row 7 end. If using pipe cleaners to straighten ears, weave through stitches up along edge of ear to Row 7 and then back down making sure at least 1” of pipe cleaner is sticking out of each end. Shape ear as desired. Before sewing ear in place, stick ends of pipe cleaner into head of bunny, then use beginning tail to sew ear on bunny’s head. (Using the pipe cleaner takes some patience. Feel between stitches when working it around the edge of the ear. When sticking ends into head, keep at it. It may be difficult to pierce the fiberfill.)

Legs

Next, make 4 legs total; 2 all in chinchilla and 2 using chinchilla for the first 2 rounds and black panther for the last 4 rounds.
