Let’s dive in.

What Is Amigurumi?

Before we get to the pattern itself, a quick note for anyone newer to the craft. Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and creatures. The word comes from the Japanese words “ami,” meaning crocheted or knitted, and “nuigurumi,” meaning stuffed doll. These little figures are typically worked in continuous rounds using a single crochet stitch, and they are stuffed with polyester fiberfill to give them their plush, three-dimensional form.

Amigurumi figures are known for their disproportionately large, round heads and small bodies, which give them their endearing, toy-like appearance. The Blossom Bunny follows this classic style — a big round head, a compact little body, long floppy ears, tiny limbs, and a sweet flower pot to nest in.

Materials You Will Need

Getting your supplies together before you start will make the whole experience smoother and more enjoyable.

Yarn: You will need a light worsted weight or DK weight yarn (approximately 3 to 4 weight) in the following colors — a soft white or cream for the bunny’s body, a terracotta or warm clay tone for the flower pot, green for the leaves and stem details, and your choice of pink, lavender, or yellow for the flower accent. The exact amount depends on your gauge and hook size, but roughly 50 to 80 meters of the main bunny color, 30 to 40 meters of the pot color, and small amounts of green and the flower color should be more than enough.

Hook: A 2.5mm or 3.0mm crochet hook works beautifully with DK or light worsted yarn for amigurumi. The tighter gauge means a denser fabric that will hold its shape and prevent the stuffing from showing through.

Eyes: 9mm or 10mm black safety eyes are the standard for a bunny this size. If you are making this for a child under three years old, embroider the eyes instead using black yarn or embroidery floss.

Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill, enough to firmly stuff both the body and the head. You want the bunny to feel plump and hold its shape.

Additional supplies: A yarn needle (also called a tapestry needle) for sewing pieces together and weaving in ends, stitch markers to mark the beginning of each round, scissors, and pins for positioning pieces before sewing.

Optional: A small amount of blush-colored embroidery floss or yarn for adding a rosy blush to the bunny’s cheeks, and a small length of wire if you want your flower stem to be poseable.

This pattern uses standard US crochet terminology.

MR — Magic Ring (also called Magic Circle)
ch — chain
sl st — slip stitch
sc — single crochet
inc — increase (two single crochets in the same stitch)
dec — invisible decrease (insert hook through the front loops of the next two stitches and complete as one single crochet)

rnd — round

Gauge and Sizing

Gauge is less critical in amigurumi than in garment making, but it does affect the final size of your finished piece. Working with a 3.0mm hook and DK weight yarn, your bunny body should end up approximately 6 to 7 centimeters tall without the ears, and the finished bunny-in-pot should stand around 12 to 14 centimeters total. If you go up a hook size, your bunny will simply be a little larger, which is perfectly lovely.

The Pattern

Part One — The Bunny Head

Start with your cream or white yarn.

Round 1: Make a magic ring, sc 6 into the ring. (6 sts)
Round 2: Inc in each st around. (12 sts)
Round 3: Sc 1, inc repeat around. (18 sts)
Round 4: Sc 2, inc repeat around. (24 sts)
Round 5: Sc 3, inc repeat around. (30 sts)
Round 6: Sc 4, inc repeat around. (36 sts)
Rounds 7–13: Sc around without increasing. (36 sts, 7 rounds)

This is the point where you should attach your safety eyes between rounds 10 and 11, spaced about 8 stitches apart from each other. Take a moment to look at the face from the front and adjust placement if needed before snapping them in permanently.

Round 14: Sc 4, dec repeat around. (30 sts)
Round 15: Sc 3, dec repeat around. (24 sts)

Begin stuffing the head firmly now.

Round 16: Sc 2, dec repeat around. (18 sts)
Round 17: Sc 1, dec repeat around. (12 sts)

Continue stuffing as you close up.

Round 18: Dec repeat around. (6 sts)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Use your yarn needle to thread through the remaining front loops and pull tight to close. Weave in the end.

Part Two — The Bunny Body

The body is slightly smaller than the head to achieve that classic amigurumi look.

Round 1: MR, sc 6. (6 sts)
Round 2: Inc in each st around. (12 sts)
Round 3: Sc 1, inc repeat around. (18 sts)
Round 4: Sc 2, inc repeat around. (24 sts)
Rounds 5–10: Sc around without increasing. (24 sts, 6 rounds)
Round 11: Sc 2, dec repeat around. (18 sts)
Round 12: Sc 1, dec repeat around. (12 sts)

Stuff the body firmly.

Round 13: Dec repeat around. (6 sts)

Fasten off with a long tail and close the same way as the head. Set aside.

Part Three — The Ears (Make Two)

The long floppy ears are one of the Blossom Bunny’s most distinctive features. They are worked flat and then folded or left free depending on your preference.

Round 1: MR, sc 6. (6 sts)
Round 2: Inc in each st around. (12 sts)
Rounds 3–12: Sc around. (12 sts, 10 rounds)

You can work a round of decreases to taper the top slightly if you prefer a more rounded ear shape, or simply fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing. Leave unstuffed — floppy ears have more character than stiff ones.

For a little inner ear detail, you can use a contrasting soft pink yarn to embroider a simple oval shape down the center of each ear, or switch to a lighter pink yarn for the middle section of rounds 4 through 10 before returning to white.

Part Four — The Arms (Make Two)

Round 1: MR, sc 5. (5 sts)
Round 2: Inc in each st around. (10 sts)
Rounds 3–7: Sc around. (10 sts, 5 rounds)

Leave lightly stuffed or unstuffed, fasten off with a long tail.

Part Five — The Tail

Round 1: MR, sc 6. (6 sts)
Round 2: Inc in each st around. (12 sts)
Round 3: Sc around. (12 sts)
Round 4: Dec repeat around. (6 sts)

Stuff loosely, close off with a long tail.

Part Six — The Flower Pot

The flower pot is the home base for your Blossom Bunny and is what transforms this pattern from a simple amigurumi into something truly decorative.

Switch to your terracotta or clay-colored yarn.

Round 1: MR, sc 6. (6 sts)
Round 2: Inc in each st around. (12 sts)
Round 3: Sc 1, inc repeat around. (18 sts)
Round 4: Sc 2, inc repeat around. (24 sts)
Round 5: Sc 3, inc repeat around. (30 sts)

This forms the base of the pot.

Round 6: Working in BLO, sc around. (30 sts) — This creates a neat ridge that defines the bottom of the pot.

Rounds 7–10: Sc around. (30 sts, 4 rounds)

Round 11: Sc 4, inc repeat around. (36 sts) — The pot widens slightly toward the top.

Round 12: Sc around. (36 sts)

For the rim of the pot, work a round in FLO to create a small ledge effect:

Round 13: Working in FLO, sc 2, inc repeat around. (48 sts)
Round 14: Sc around. (48 sts)
Round 15: Sl st around, then fasten off.

Stuff the pot lightly with fiberfill — enough to give it shape and structure, but not so much that it becomes completely rigid. You can also insert a circle of cardboard or stiff felt in the base before stuffing to help it sit flat.

Part Seven — The Flower Accent

The little flower that peeks out beside the bunny is what gives this pattern its blossom theme.

Center of the flower: Using yellow or contrasting yarn, MR, sc 6, sl st to join, fasten off. (6 sts)

Petals (make 5): With your pink, lavender, or color of choice, ch 4, then in the second chain from the hook: sc 1, hdc 1, sc 1, sl st into starting chain. Fasten off. Sew five petals evenly around the center.

Alternatively, for a quicker flower, you can work the following all in one piece: Join yarn with sl st to the center piece, ch 4, sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next ch, sc in next ch, sl st into center repeat five times to form petals. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Attach a short length of green yarn or wire wrapped in green yarn for the stem, and add two small leaf shapes by crocheting a small oval: ch 5, sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc 2, sc 1, then work three stitches into the last chain to turn and work back down the other side symmetrically, sl st to join.

Assembly

Assembly is where your Blossom Bunny comes to life, and taking your time here will give you a polished, professional-looking result.

Begin by sewing the head to the body. Position the head so it sits slightly forward on the body rather than perfectly centered on top — this gives the bunny a natural, alert expression. Use the long tail and your tapestry needle to sew through the stitches of both pieces in a circular motion, securing firmly.

Attach the ears to the top of the head, spaced evenly. You can leave them drooping naturally on either side or position them so they stand slightly outward. Sewing through several stitches at the base of each ear rather than just the very tip will help them stay in place and hang naturally.

Sew the arms to the sides of the body, positioned slightly forward and angled down. The small, simple arms look adorable when they splay slightly to either side as if the bunny is preparing for a hug.

Attach the fluffy tail to the lower back of the body.

If you are adding embroidered blush marks, now is the time. Use a single strand of blush or light pink embroidery floss and make three or four small horizontal stitches in a light oval shape on each cheek, just below and outside each eye. This tiny detail adds an enormous amount of personality.

For the nose, embroider a small triangle shape in a soft pink or light brown yarn between and below the eyes, then add a tiny vertical stitch below the triangle to suggest a mouth.

Finally, position the bunny inside the flower pot. The bunny’s body should nestle inside the rim, with the head poking cheerfully above. You can sew the body to the inside base of the pot to keep everything secure, or simply leave it nestled in — either works beautifully.

Arrange the flower stem so it tucks in beside the bunny, leaning gently to one side.

Customization Ideas

One of the best things about amigurumi is how easy it is to personalize. Here are some ideas to make your Blossom Bunny truly one of a kind.

You can change the color palette entirely — a soft grey bunny with lavender flowers and a sage green pot feels serene and sophisticated. A warm caramel-colored bunny with sunflower yellow and deep orange blooms has an autumnal charm. A white bunny with pastel rainbow flowers makes for an especially delightful Easter project.

Try adding a tiny bow between the ears using a small scrap of ribbon or crocheting a simple bow shape from yarn. A little crown of flowers worked as a chain of small blooms and leaves can be draped over the ears for a festival look.

You can also scale the pattern up by using bulkier yarn and a larger hook. With a chunky weight yarn and a 5mm or 6mm hook, your Blossom Bunny will become a larger, huggable plush, perfect as a pillow buddy for children.

For a gift presentation, consider crocheting a small “soil” layer using dark brown yarn in the top of the pot before inserting the bunny. A few rounds of textured bobble stitches in dark brown creates a convincing and charming soil effect.

Care Instructions

Handmade amigurumi should be hand washed in cool water with a gentle soap and laid flat to dry. Avoid machine washing, as the agitation can distort the shape and loosen the seams over time. For decorative pieces that will not be played with frequently, spot cleaning is usually sufficient.

Tips for Success

Working amigurumi well is mostly about tension and patience. Keep your tension even and slightly tight so the stuffing does not peek through gaps in the stitches. If you can see stuffing through your work, try going down a hook size.

Use a stitch marker diligently. It is very easy to lose track of where a round begins and ends, especially when you are watching something on television. A simple split ring marker placed at the start of each round saves a lot of counting frustration.

Stuff firmly but not so firmly that the yarn stretches and gaps form. The finished piece should feel plump and springy, not hard.

When sewing pieces together, use the long tail left from fastening off. Match the stitches visually so the seam looks as invisible as possible, and do not be afraid to take the time to reposition and pin pieces before committing to the sewing.

Final Thoughts

The Blossom Bunny Amigurumi is one of those projects that carries real joy in the making and even more joy in the giving. There is something about a small, handcrafted creature — with its slightly imp
