Frequently Asked Questions
When using the recommended yarn and 1.5mm hook, the finished bunny will be approximately 7-8 inches (18-20 cm) tall. The size may vary slightly depending on your tension and how firmly you stuff the toy.
While you can use different yarn weights, you’ll need to adjust your hook size accordingly and be aware that this will change the final size of your bunny. For best results, stick with sport or DK weight yarn and a hook size appropriate for that yarn.
To change colors for the stripes in rounds 14-15, complete the last stitch of the old color until two loops remain on your hook, then yarn over with the new color and pull through. Carry the unused color along the inside of your work and crochet over it to hide the strand.
This pattern requires basic amigurumi skills including working in the round, increasing, decreasing, and color changes.
