Meet Wilbur The Amigurumi Bunny
Once upon a time, in a cozy home, there lived Wilbur, a little crochet bunny. He had a fluffy white tail and loved chocolate cake more than anything.
Whenever he smelled chocolate, his nose wiggled with joy. One day, Wilbur found a chocolate cake in the kitchen. He could not resist and took a tiny bite. The cake tasted so good that he could not stop eating.
From then on, Wilbur always searched for chocolate cake. Snuggled up in his cozy spot, he was happiest with a slice of cake by his side, his fluffy tail wiggling with joy.

Step By Step Tutorial
Skill Level
Beginner
What You Will Need
Body
We used #4 medium yarn (also known as worsted, Afgan, Aran, or 10-ply) with 11 WPI (wraps per inch)
- Color A, yellow (body) - 41 yards (38) meters of yarn
Tail
We used #3 medium yarn (also known as DK, light worsted, or 8-ply) with 12 WPI (wraps per inch)
- Color B, white (tail) - 3.2 yards (3 meters)
Crochet Hook
- 4 mm (G/6) hook for the bunny
- 3.5 mm (E/4) hook for the tail
Note: This pattern allows for flexibility with yarn weights. Adjust your hook size to be 1-2 sizes smaller than the recommended size for your chosen yarn. Doing so will create a tighter fabric, preventing the stuffing from showing through.
Notions
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
- Stitch marker
- 2 x 8 mm safety eyes
- Fiberfill toy stuffing.
- 19 inches (50 cm) length of black or pink #3 DK yarn or embroidery floss for the nose.
Finished Size
The finished size of the amigurumi bunny when made in the yarn weight and hook size mentioned above is about 6 inches (15 cm) tall from base to tip of ear.
Gauge
The gauge is not important for this project, but making sure the stitches are tight is important.
This prevents the toy stuffing from peeking through. If you notice the filling showing through, consider using a smaller hook size to achieve tighter stitches
