No-Sew Crochet Bunny Pattern
Are you looking for the perfect bunny to make for Spring? This quick and easy no-sew crochet bunny pattern would make a great addition to Easter baskets or your next market/craft fair.
Ever since I made my no-sew crochet bear pattern a few months ago, I knew I wanted to create a bunny for Easter in the same style.
The ears took a bit of figuring out but I’m so happy with how these little bunnies turned out.
How to Crochet a Bunny
This crochet bunny pattern is worked in one piece from the bottom up.
We’ll begin by chaining 2 and working 8 single crochet into the second chain from hook. This is my preferred starting method when using plush yarn.
The tail, legs and arms are made up of bobble stitches worked in the front loop only and the ears are added near the end.
The addition of some simple embroidery really brings our bunny to life.

Finished Size
The finished bunny measures approximately 3″ (8cm) tall. Size may vary depending on tension and materials used.
Gauge
Gauge is not important in this pattern. Use a hook size to match your chosen yarn. Make sure that your stitches are tight enough to prevent stuffing showing through and adjust hook size if necessary.
Notes
- Pieces are worked in a continuous spiral. Mark the first stitch of each round with a removable stitch marker.
- All bobble stitches are worked in the front loop only.

Stuff the body (R1-6), do not start stuffing the head yet.
Insert safety eyes between R8 and R9, 3 sts apart.
R11: [Sc, invdec] x3, ch 5, dc in third ch from hook, hdc in next 2 chs, sl st in same space as last invdec, [sc, invdec] x2, ch 5, dc in third ch from hook, hdc in next 2 chs, sl st in same space as last invdec, sc, invdec (12)
Stuff the head and continue to stuff as you go.
In this next round, fold the ears down in front so that they’re out of the way. Ignore the sl sts and only work into the sc and invdec sts.
R12: [Invdec] x6 (6)
Cut the yarn leaving a tail and pull through last st. Weave the yarn tail through the front loops only of the final round and pull to close. Hide the end inside the bunny.
Finishing
- Using pink DK weight yarn, sew a nose between R8 and R9. Make 1 horizontal st centred between the eyes and wrap yarn evenly along the length by going over and under the st. Alternatively, continue to make horizontal sts until you have your desired look.
- Using black 4 ply yarn or embroidery floss, make a single horizontal st down from the centre of the nose over R8.
- Tie some worsted weight yarn in a bow around the bunny’s neck. Tie it firmly to accentuate the neck, trim ends.
