Bunny Bloom Crochet Pattern – Cute Flower Bunny Amigurumi Tutorial

There is something undeniably magical about a handmade toy. It carries warmth in every stitch, a kind of quiet love that factory-made things simply cannot replicate. If you have been searching for the perfect amigurumi project to add to your collection — or to gift someone who deserves something truly special — this Bunny Bloom crochet pattern is exactly what you need. A delightful fusion of springtime florals and classic bunny charm, this flower bunny amigurumi is sweet enough to sit on a nursery shelf, cheerful enough to brighten a desk, and whimsical enough to become a treasured keepsake. Whether you are a seasoned crocheter or someone who has recently caught the amigurumi bug, this tutorial will walk you through every step of bringing this little character to life.

Let’s dive in.

What Is Amigurumi and Why You’ll Love This Pattern

Amigurumi is the Japanese art of crocheting or knitting small, stuffed yarn creatures. The word itself combines the Japanese words for “knitted” and “stuffed doll,” and the craft has grown into a global phenomenon beloved by makers of all skill levels. What makes amigurumi so endlessly appealing is the combination of simplicity and creativity — the basic techniques are accessible even to beginners, yet the possibilities for character design are virtually limitless.

The Bunny Bloom pattern takes this tradition and gives it a floral twist. Instead of a plain bunny with standard ears, this design incorporates a flower petal collar that frames the bunny’s face like a blooming daisy, long floppy ears with a petal-shaped interior, and a rounded body in soft pastel tones that evoke a garden in full spring color. The result is a bunny that feels fresh, seasonal, and utterly charming — the kind of piece that people stop to pick up and admire.

This pattern is rated as beginner-friendly to intermediate. If you know how to single crochet, increase, decrease, and work in a magic ring, you have everything you need. A few finishing techniques like embroidering facial features and attaching limbs are covered in detail, so even if you are new to those steps, the instructions will guide you clearly.

Materials You Will Need

Before you begin crocheting your Bunny Bloom amigurumi, gather all your supplies. Having everything at hand before you start makes the process smooth and enjoyable.

Yarn: Choose a soft worsted weight or DK weight yarn in the following colors — a main color for the bunny body (soft pink, cream, lavender, or white work beautifully), a contrasting color for the flower petals (yellow, peach, sage green, or lilac), and a small amount of white or off-white for the bunny belly and inner ear accents. Amigurumi yarn, cotton yarn, or any smooth, tightly plied yarn will give you clean stitch definition and make your finished piece look neat and polished.

Hook: Use a crochet hook that is slightly smaller than recommended for your yarn weight. For worsted weight yarn, a 3.5mm or 4mm hook works well. Using a slightly smaller hook creates a tighter fabric that prevents the stuffing from showing through and gives your amigurumi a firm, professional feel.

Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill is the standard choice for amigurumi. Use enough to give your bunny a plump, rounded shape, but don’t overstuff — you want it to feel soft when squeezed, not hard like a baseball.

Safety eyes: Two 9mm or 12mm black safety eyes give your bunny that classic amigurumi look. If you are making this for a child under three years old, embroider the eyes with black yarn instead for safety.

Additional tools: A yarn needle for sewing pieces together and weaving in ends, stitch markers to track your rounds, scissors, and optionally a small amount of blush-colored embroidery thread or yarn for the cheeks.

Optional embellishments: A small satin ribbon bow tied around the bunny’s neck looks adorable and adds a finishing touch. You can also sew on a tiny crocheted flower to one ear for extra personality.

Pattern Notes and Abbreviations

This pattern is written in American crochet terminology.

MR — Magic ring
ch — Chain
sl st — Slip stitch
sc — Single crochet
inc — Increase (two single crochets in the same stitch)
dec — Invisible decrease (insert hook through front loops of next two stitches, yarn over, pull through both loops, yarn over, pull through remaining two loops)
st(s) — Stitch(es)
BLO — Back loop only
FLO — Front loop only
R — Round

All pieces are worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise stated. Place a stitch marker at the beginning of each round and move it up as you go to keep track of your progress. Finish off all pieces except the head by leaving a long tail for sewing.

Crocheting the Bunny Head

The head is the centerpiece of any amigurumi, and the Bunny Bloom is no exception. Work in your main body color throughout.

R1: MR, 6 sc into ring. (6 sts)
R2: Inc in each st around. (12 sts)
R3: *Sc 1, inc* repeat around. (18 sts)
R4: *Sc 2, inc* repeat around. (24 sts)
R5: *Sc 3, inc* repeat around. (30 sts)
R6: *Sc 4, inc* repeat around. (36 sts)
R7: *Sc 5, inc* repeat around. (42 sts)
R8–R15: Sc around. (42 sts each round)
R16: *Sc 5, dec* repeat around. (36 sts)
R17: *Sc 4, dec* repeat around. (30 sts)

At this point, insert your safety eyes between rounds 11 and 12, spacing them approximately 8 to 10 stitches apart. Use a pin to try different placements before committing — the eye position dramatically affects the personality of your finished bunny. Once you are happy with the placement, attach the safety eye backings firmly. Now is also the time to embroider a small nose with two or three stitches of pink yarn just below and between the eyes.

R18: *Sc 3, dec* repeat around. (24 sts)
R19: *Sc 2, dec* repeat around. (18 sts)

Begin stuffing the head firmly with fiberfill now. Continue adding small amounts of stuffing as you close the head.

R20: *Sc 1, dec* repeat around. (12 sts)
R21: Dec around. (6 sts)

Close the opening by weaving the yarn tail through the front loops of the remaining stitches, pulling tight, and fastening off. Weave in the end securely.

Crocheting the Body

The body is worked in the same main color as the head and shares the same basic oval construction common to many amigurumi patterns.

R1: MR, 6 sc into ring. (6 sts)
R2: Inc in each st around. (12 sts)
R3: *Sc 1, inc* repeat around. (18 sts)
R4: *Sc 2, inc* repeat around. (24 sts)
R5: *Sc 3, inc* repeat around. (30 sts)
R6: *Sc 4, inc* repeat around. (36 sts)
R7–R16: Sc around. (36 sts each round)
R17: *Sc 4, dec* repeat around. (30 sts)
R18: Sc around. (30 sts)
R19: *Sc 3, dec* repeat around. (24 sts)
R20: Sc around. (24 sts)
R21: *Sc 2, dec* repeat around. (18 sts)

Stuff the body firmly before closing. Leave a long tail when fastening off — you’ll use this to sew the head to the body.

Crocheting the Ears

The ears are one of the most distinctive features of the Bunny Bloom pattern. They are long and floppy with a petal-shaped interior worked in your accent color.

Outer ear (make 2, in main color):

R1: MR, 4 sc into ring. (4 sts)
R2: *Sc 1, inc* twice. (6 sts)
R3: *Sc 2, inc* twice. (8 sts)
R4–R14: Sc around. (8 sts each round)

Flatten the ear and sc across the top to close, working through both layers. Do not stuff the ears. Leave a long tail for attaching.

Inner ear / petal (make 2, in accent color):

R1: MR, 4 sc into ring. (4 sts)
R2: *Sc 1, inc* twice. (6 sts)
R3–R10: Sc around. (6 sts each round)

Flatten and sl st to close. Sew the inner petal piece to the front of each outer ear, centering it and leaving a small border of the main color visible around the edges. The effect mimics the look of a flower petal nestled within each ear, which is the signature detail of this design.

Crocheting the Arms and Legs

Arms (make 2, in main color):

R1: MR, 6 sc into ring. (6 sts)
R2: Inc in each st around. (12 sts)
R3–R4: Sc around. (12 sts)
R5: *Sc 2, dec* repeat around. (9 sts)
R6–R14: Sc around. (9 sts each round)

Stuff lightly — the arms should be somewhat floppy and poseable. Flatten and sc across the top to close. Leave a long tail.

Legs (make 2, in main color):

R1: MR, 6 sc into ring. (6 sts)
R2: Inc in each st around. (12 sts)
R3: *Sc 3, inc* repeat around. (15 sts)
R4–R5: Sc around. (15 sts)
R6: *Sc 3, dec* repeat around. (12 sts)
R7: Sc around. (12 sts)
R8: *Sc 2, dec* repeat around. (9 sts)
R9–R16: Sc around. (9 sts each round)

Stuff the legs firmly. Flatten and sc across the top to close. Leave a long tail.

Crocheting the Flower Petal Collar

This is the showstopping element that transforms a sweet bunny into a Bunny Bloom. The collar is worked separately and attached around the bunny’s neck after the head and body are assembled. Use your accent petal color for this piece.

Foundation: Ch 36, sl st to join into a ring without twisting.

R1: Sc around. (36 sts)
R2: *Ch 4, skip 2 sts, sl st into next st* repeat around.

This creates the looped base for your petals. You should have 12 loops around the ring.

Petals (work into each ch-4 loop):

Into each loop, work: 1 sc, 1 hdc, 3 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc. This forms a rounded, petal-like shape. Work all the way around the collar until you have 12 petals.

Fasten off and weave in ends. The collar should look like a full daisy ring — bright, dimensional, and springy. Set it aside until assembly.

Crocheting the Tail

The bunny’s tail is a classic amigurumi pompom ball.

R1: MR, 6 sc into ring. (6 sts)
R2: Inc in each st around. (12 sts)
R3: Sc around. (12 sts)
R4: Dec around. (6 sts)

Stuff lightly and close. Leave a tail for sewing. You can make this in your main color or your accent color for a little pop of contrast.

Assembling Your Bunny Bloom

Assembly is where your individual pieces transform into a complete character, and taking your time here makes a tremendous difference in the final look.

Start by sewing the head to the body. Position the head so the face looks slightly forward and upward rather than straight ahead — this gives your bunny a curious, endearing expression. Use the long yarn tail from the body and a yarn needle to sew through the edge stitches of both pieces, working all the way around in a circle. Pull the yarn tight as you go to create a secure join.

Next, slide the flower petal collar over the head and position it at the neck joint. Use a few small whip stitches to tack it in place so it sits flat and even. The collar should fan out from the neck like a blooming flower surrounding the bunny’s face.

Attach the ears next. Position them on top of the head, slightly toward the back, angled gently outward for that classic floppy bunny silhouette. Pin them in place before sewing and stand back to check the positioning looks balanced from the front. Once you are happy, sew each ear down firmly with its yarn tail, going through several stitches on both the ear and the head for a secure hold.

Pin the arms to the sides of the body, just below the collar, at approximately the 2 o’clock and 10 o’clock positions if you imagine the body as a clock face. Sew them on securely, making sure they hang at a natural downward angle.

Position the legs at the base of the body and sew them on firmly. The bunny should be able to sit upright with the legs helping to create a stable base.

Finally, sew the small tail to the back of the body, centered and positioned toward the lower half.

If you would like to add rosy cheeks to your bunny, use a blush-colored yarn or embroidery thread to make a few small satin stitches in a circular shape on each cheek. Even a tiny hint of color here gives the bunny an incredibly sweet, animated expression.

Tie a small satin ribbon around the neck over the collar for a finishing flourish, and your Bunny Bloom is complete.

Tips for Getting the Best Results

Working in a continuous spiral can be disorienting at first, especially when rounds start blending together. Always use a stitch marker and move it diligently at the start of each round — this simple habit prevents miscounting and keeps your shaping symmetrical.

When stuffing your pieces, add fiberfill in small amounts and distribute it evenly by pinching and adjusting through the fabric. Lumpy stuffing is one of the most common issues in amigurumi and is easily avoided by taking your time with this step.

If your stitches are twisting or uneven, check that you are inserting your hook under both loops of each stitch unless the pattern specifies otherwise. Consistent hook insertion is the single biggest factor in getting clean, even amigurumi fabric.

Blocking your finished piece is optional but worthwhile if you want crisp, defined petal shapes on the collar. Mist the collar lightly with water, shape each petal individually, and let it dry flat.

Customizing Your Bunny Bloom

One of the greatest joys of making your own crochet pattern is the freedom to personalize it. The Bunny Bloom is wonderfully versatile. Here are a few ideas to spark your creativity.

Change the color palette completely to match a season or occasion. Dusty rose and sage green feel romantic and vintage. Bright coral and sunshine yellow read as cheerful and summery. Pale lavender and cream create a soft, dreamy Easter aesthetic. Deep burgundy and forest green give a cozy autumnal character that feels entirely different from the spring original.
