Body

Round 13:
(Sc in next st, dec in next st), repeat 6 times. [12]

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for closing.

Stuff the body and head firmly but not overstretched, as chenille yarns stretch slightly over time.

Closing the Body

• Using tapestry needle and tail, weave through the front loops of the last 12 sts and pull tight to close.
• Weave in ends and hide tail inside body.

Round 1:
mr, 6 sc. [6]

Round 6 (Closing):
Fold the ear flat so you have 4 sts per side.

• Sc through both layers across 4 sts to join and close the ear.
• Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
• Do not stuff; the ears are meant to be floppy and flat.
• Make 2 in total.

Assembly

Sewing the Ears:

• Sew ears to the top of the head (between rounds 1 and 2 or as desired for expression).
• To make the ears curve slightly, after sewing straight down, use the yarn tail to pull the tip of the ear forward, stitch in place to the head, then fasten off and hide tail.

Embroidered Facial Details

Eyes

• Using sport weight black yarn, embroider round or oval eyes using multiple straight stitches (about the width of one stitch).
• Optional: Use safety eyes; refer to official pattern for precise placement.

Eyebrows

• With black yarn, embroider a short, straight stitch one round above and slightly to the side of each eye.

Nose/Snout

• With sport weight pink yarn, embroider a tiny nose:
  • Make two vertical straight stitches and a horizontal one at their base for a tiny "T" or "V" shaped nose.

Conclusion

You now have a soft, charming amigurumi bunny crocheted in super bulky chenille yarn-a project perfect for gifting or a baby toy. This quick pattern can be completed in under an hour and is both beginner- and gift-friendly.

Pattern Correction

• Double check your stitch count at the end of each round for accuracy; chenille/bulky yarns make lost stitches harder to spot later.
• Do not overstuff, as super bulky yarn may stretch.

Tips

• Weave in the starting tail of the magic ring for a tight, closed center.
• Use "yarn under" for all rounds after Round 1 to get neat, tight amigurumi stitches; adjust if you are more comfortable with "yarn over."
• When making bobble stitches, always use FLO for a crisp arm definition.
• Use embroidery for eyes and nose for child-safe toys.
