It is so cute and I can’t wait to make it for my great niece NyKol that has cancer. You wouldn’t happen to have a tiny teddy bear that I can make for her collection?
Love this! I can’t crochet but perhaps my wife will attempt it π
This Bitty Bunny pattern is cute, fast and easy! I’ve made 5 so far; they are perfect to tuck into an Easter basket. My cats like them too. They love toys, so I put some catnip in the first (practice) one. That way there was no “stealing” from my crochet basket. It’s a great way to use up my bits and pieces. These soft bunnies will be going to a local charity, and I’ll make a few for inclusion in new baby presents, with embroidered eyes, of course.
You’ve made FIVE since the pattern went up on Tuesday? Wow, great job!
With a change of ears and embroidered face features, this pattern could turn into a cat, dog, or bear, whatever the child likes best. Simply Soft has such beautiful colors, your imagination can run wild.
I love the bunny, it’s adorable. I’m a beginner in crocheting but going to show my mom this, she’s the expert in the family, thanks for sharing and Happy Easter.
ADORABLE!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS PATTERN. I WOULD NEVER HAVE THOUGH OF USING THIS VARIGATED YARD.

This is adorable! I wish I were better at crocheting! π
To try and save yarn while doing motifs I try to weave my ends in as I go, then I don’t feel I have to leave a long end to try and use the tapestry needle!Can’t wait to check out this pattern!
Cute as can be! What a great way to use some odds and ends. Thank you!
What a wonderful little chap. My daughter in law adores rabbits so what better to go with her Easter egg than this – filled with lavender for her wardrobe or drawer.
What a cute bunny! I’ve been knitting big and little teddies. So can’t wait to make this one!
This is one of the most Adorable little bitty bunnies that I have ever seen, cant wait to make it for my grand daughter!!
thanks for the pattern! π
So cute. Love the colors and the eyes which look like chocolate m&m’s.
Been thinking about making little bunnies for my 10 great nieces and nephews— these have kicked started me.
Thanks,
Becky
Thanks for the pattern, I just finished my first amigurumi ever, a rabbit, I just need to add the eyes and such… it didn’t take long at all, and it is going to help me go through some of my leftover yarn. I’ll post a pic on my blog when I have it done.
