Pattern
Ears (make 2)
- Rnd 1: In White, make a magic ring, work 6 sc into ring (6 sts).
- Rnd 2: Inc in each st around (2 sc in each st) (12 sts)
- Rnd 3-10: Sc in each st around (12 sts per round; 8 rounds)
Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing/joining.
Repeat for the second ear.
Joining the Ears—Forming the Body
- Hold both ears so that their last rounds face each other.
- Place your yarn at any stitch of one ear; this will become the start of the next round.
- Rnd 11:
- Sc in each stitch around first ear (12 sts)
- Without breaking yarn, sc in each stitch around the second ear (12 sts)
(24 sts total in this round—use stitch marker to note new round start)
Shaping the Head & Body
- Rnd 12: (3 sc, inc), repeat 6 times around (30 sts)
- Rnd 13: (4 sc, inc), repeat 6 times around (36 sts)
- Rnd 14-20: Sc in each st around (36 sts per round; 7 rounds)
Decreasing for the Base
- Rnd 21: (4 sc, dec), repeat 6 times (30 sts)
- Rnd 22: (3 sc, dec), repeat 6 times (24 sts)
- Rnd 23: (1 sc, dec), repeat 8 times (16 sts)
Begin stuffing the bunny firmly with polyester fiberfill before the opening gets too small.
- Rnd 24: 8 dec (sc2tog 8 times) (8 sts)
Finish off, weave yarn through final stitches to close the opening securely.
Finishing Touches
Face Embroidery
- With black yarn and tapestry needle, embroider eyes between rounds 15-16.
- Position eyes about 2-3 sts apart, centered on the front of the head.
- Use pink thread/yarn to add a small “V” shaped nose and (optional) cheeks.
Assembly
- Attach keychain hardware to the top or back of the bunny, if desired.
Tips
- Work decreases tightly to prevent stuffing from showing.
- Use safety eyes instead of embroidery if preferred (insert before closing the head).
- Adjust color accents as desired (inner ears, cheeks, etc.).
Pattern Correction
- Double check stitch counts after joining the ears to form the base; you should have 24 stitches before beginning to shape the body.
- Stuff firmly but gently, distributing stuffing evenly to keep a round, cute shape.
