Techniques

Magic Circle: Essential to the start of most amigurumi projects.

Invisible Decrease: Good for preventing gaps and giving a more uniform look to your single crochets.

Working in Front Loops: For this pattern, always work single crochets in the front loops of the stitches unless otherwise specified. This helps the stitches stack up straighter.

Stitch Markers: Use a stitch marker (like a bobby pin) for keeping track of the beginning of your rounds, placing it in the first stitch of the round.

Staggered Rounds: Staggered rounds offset the pattern's increases or decreases. For example, instead of [4 sc, inc] x6, you can stagger it to 2 sc, inc, [4 sc, inc] x5, 2 sc.

Close: To close a piece, thread your yarn needle with the yarn end and put it through each of the front loops of the last round’s single crochets, usually 6 stitches, and pull tight. It should look like a mini magic circle. Then put the needle through the center of it and out through the piece. Tie your knot and stuff the ends back into the piece.

Whip Stitch: This usually means the finished piece is folded flat with the last single crochet or yarn end at the edge. Thread your yarn needle with the yarn end and whip stitch the opening closed through only the front loops.

Start stuffing the body.

RND 24: [1 sc, 1 dec] x6 (12 stitches)

RND 25: 6 decreases (6 stitches)

Fully stuff and close.

Nose

The nose is pretty simple, consisting of just two stitches. (The example is a bit sloppy; take your time!)

Thread yarn through the magic circle and stitch across the length, looping it through at least twice. You can add a stitch down the center for a 'Y' shape. Pull the ends through the head and body and cut.

Ears (x2)

These ears are wider with a bit of a dip.

RND 1: 4 single crochets in magic circle (4 stitches)

RND 2: 4 increases (8 stitches)

RND 4: [1 sc, 1 inc] x4 (12 stitches)

RND 5-7: 3 single crochet rounds (12 stitches)

RND 8: 2 increases, 8 single crochets, 1 inc (16 stitches)

RND 9: single crochet round (16 stitches)

RND 10: [5 sc, 1 dec] x2 (14 stitches)

The ears are not stuffed. Whip stitch the opening closed and attach them to the head, starting between RND 6 and RND 7, sewing back across four rounds, with seven stitches apart between the ears.

Tail

The tail is a small ball.

RND 1: 6 single crochets in magic circle (6 stitches)

RND 2: 6 increases (12 stitches)

RND 3: [1 sc, 1 inc] x6 (18 stitches)

Front Paws (x2)

Just two magic circles.

RND 1: 8 single crochets in magic circle (8 stitches)

Slip stitch into the next stitch, cut yarn, and thread the yarn needle. Sew on starting between RND 11 and RND 12 of the body, leaving a two-stitch space between the front paws.

Back Paws (x2)

These are chain rounds.

RND 1: Ch 4 +1, turn, 4 sc, rotate, 4 sc (8 stitches)

Slip stitch into the next stitch, cut yarn, and thread your yarn needle. Sew on starting between RND 15 and RND 16, leaving a two-stitch space between the back paws.

And the little bunny is complete!
