Step-by-Step Instructions
Creating the Body
This Cube Bunny Rabbit pattern works in continuous rounds, creating a perfect cube shape:
Rounds 1-6: Start with a magic circle and gradually increase to create the top of the cube (44 stitches)
Rounds 7-13: Work the straight sides of the cube, maintaining 40 stitches
Rounds 14-17: Decrease to close the bottom of the cube
Pro Tip: Place the nose between rounds 11 and 12 in the center of the face. For larger eyes (over 15mm), position them at the same level as the nose. For smaller eyes, place them one row above the nose for the cutest expression.
Crafting the Legs
Make four identical unstuffed legs using a simple cylinder technique:
- Start with 5 stitches in a magic circle
- Increase to 10 stitches in round 2
- Work 5 rounds of straight single crochet
Shaping the Ears
The bunny’s characteristic long ears are created by:
- Starting with 6 stitches in a magic circle
- Increasing to 18 stitches over 3 rounds
- Working 6 straight rounds
- Gradually decreasing to close the ear
Important: Don’t stuff the ears, and sew the end of each ear flat for a natural look.
Adding the Fluffy Tail
Create a small pom-pom style tail:
- Begin with 6 stitches in a magic circle
- Increase to 12 stitches
- Work one round straight
- Decrease back to 6 stitches and stuff firmly
Making the Carrot Companion
No bunny is complete without its carrot! This adorable accessory features:
- Orange yarn for the carrot body
- Green yarn for the leafy top
- A color change technique to create the realistic transition
Assembly Tips
When putting your bunny together:
Legs: Attach the unstuffed legs to the bottom corners of the cube body. Use pins first to find the perfect positioning.
Ears: Sew ears to each side of the head, positioning them closer to the front than the back. Place one end on round 4 and the other on round 6.
Tail: Attach the stuffed tail to the back bottom of the body at round 15.
Eyes and Nose: Position eyes approximately 2-3 stitches away from the nose on each side for the most appealing expression.
