White Bunny Amigurumi Crochet Pattern with Upright Ears

Introduction

A rabbit’s ears can exceed the length of its body, so their base width must support more than decoration. This white bunny amigurumi crochet pattern uses DK cotton, a 2.5 mm hook and 12 mm safety eyes to produce a figure about 24 cm tall. The project suits an intermediate maker and creates a stable shelf-sized rabbit that can be reproduced in matching sets.

The Design: What Makes This Bunny Different

The head reaches a 42-stitch plateau, giving the bunny the broad face visible in the reference image without forcing the body to the same diameter. Its body stops at 36 stitches and holds a pear-shaped profile, which lowers the center of gravity and keeps the figure upright. Each ear has a rounded closed tip, a long straight middle section and a narrow base that can be pinched before sewing. That structure is central to this long-eared bunny crochet pattern because a wide, heavily stuffed ear will lean outward. The feet are oval rather than spherical, providing a wider contact area at the front. A common error in a crochet rabbit pattern is attaching the ears too close to the face. That position shortens the forehead and makes the head look compressed. Place them behind the head’s crown line instead.

Materials and Tools

Yarn

• Warm white — DK cotton or cotton blend — approximately 65 g — suggested type: Schachenmayr Catania, Paintbox Cotton DK or another tightly spun DK yarn.
• Medium brown — embroidery floss or split DK yarn — less than 2 g — used for the triangular nose and mouth line.

Tools

• 2.5 mm crochet hook
• Two 12 mm black safety eyes
• Polyester stuffing, approximately 35–45 g
• Tapestry needle
• Locking stitch markers
• Sewing pins
• Scissors

Safety eyes are not suitable for toys intended for children under three. Replace them with embroidered eyes when the finished rabbit will be handled by a young child.

Abbreviations

• MR — magic ring
• sc — single crochet
• inc — two single crochets in one stitch
• dec — single crochet decrease
• sl st — slip stitch
• ch — chain
• BLO — back loop only

For an invisible decrease, insert the hook through the front loops of the next two stitches, yarn over and complete one single crochet through both loops.

Pattern — Step by Step

Work in a continuous spiral unless a section states otherwise. Place a marker in the first stitch of every round.

Head

Yarn: warm white. The 42-stitch plateau follows standard six-stitch amigurumi shaping.

R1: 6 sc in MR (6)
R2: inc ×6 (12)
R3: (1 sc, inc) ×6 (18)
R4: (2 sc, inc) ×6 (24)
R5: (3 sc, inc) ×6 (30)
R6: (4 sc, inc) ×6 (36)
R7: (5 sc, inc) ×6 (42)
R8–R15: 42 sc (42)
R16: (5 sc, dec) ×6 (36)
R17: (4 sc, dec) ×6 (30)

Insert the 12 mm safety eyes between R12 and R13. Leave 10 visible stitches between the eye posts. Begin firm stuffing around the eye backs.

R18: (3 sc, dec) ×6 (24)
R19: (2 sc, dec) ×6 (18)
R20: (1 sc, dec) ×6 (12)
R21: dec ×6 (6)

Add the final stuffing in small pieces. Fasten off and close the remaining opening through the front loops.

Body

Yarn: warm white. The 36-stitch plateau forms the medium pear-shaped torso.

R1: 6 sc in MR (6)
R2: inc ×6 (12)
R3: (1 sc, inc) ×6 (18)
R4: (2 sc, inc) ×6 (24)
R5: (3 sc, inc) ×6 (30)
R6: (4 sc, inc) ×6 (36)
R7–R12: 36 sc (36)
R13: (4 sc, dec) ×6 (30)
R14–R16: 30 sc (30)
R17: (3 sc, dec) ×6 (24)
R18–R19: 24 sc (24)
R20: (2 sc, dec) ×6 (18)
R21: 18 sc (18)

Stuff the lower body firmly and reduce the density near the neck opening so the seam does not become rigid.

Fasten off. Leave a 30 cm tail for attaching the body to the head.

Arms (Make 2)

Yarn: warm white.

R1: 6 sc in MR (6)
R2: inc ×6 (12)
R3–R5: 12 sc (12)
R6: (2 sc, dec) ×3 (9)
R7–R12: 9 sc (9)

Stuff only the lower half. Leave the final four rounds unstuffed so each arm rests against the body.

Flatten the opening and crochet 4 sc through both layers. Fasten off and leave a 20 cm sewing tail.

Back Legs and Feet (Make 2)

Yarn: warm white.

R1: 6 sc in MR (6)
R2: inc ×6 (12)
R3: (1 sc, inc) ×6 (18)
R4–R6: 18 sc (18)
R7: (1 sc, dec) ×6 (12)
R8: 12 sc (12)
R9: dec ×6 (6)

Stuff firmly before R9. Shape each piece into an oval by pressing the sides while the stuffing is distributed toward the toe.

Fasten off and close the opening. Leave a 25 cm tail for sewing.

Upright Ears (Make 2)

Yarn: warm white. Published bunny patterns commonly work long ears in spiral rounds and leave them unstuffed.

R1: 6 sc in MR (6)
R2: inc ×6 (12)
R3: (1 sc, inc) ×6 (18)
R4–R10: 18 sc (18)
R11: (1 sc, dec) ×6 (12)
R12–R16: 12 sc (12)
R17: (2 sc, dec) ×3 (9)
R18: 9 sc (9)

Do not stuff. Flatten the ear, then pinch the lower edges together so the front face forms a shallow channel.

Fasten off. Leave a 30 cm tail on each ear.

Cheek Patches (Make 2)

Yarn: warm white. These flat circles create subtle muzzle volume without adding another color.

R1: 6 sc in MR (6)
R2: inc ×6 (12)

Join with a sl st. Fasten off and leave a 15 cm tail.

Tail

Yarn: warm white.

R1: 6 sc in MR (6)
R2: inc ×6 (12)
R3: 12 sc (12)
R4: dec ×6 (6)

Add a small amount of stuffing before the final decreases.

Fasten off and leave a 20 cm sewing tail.

Embroidered Nose and Mouth

Thread a tapestry needle with medium-brown yarn. Make three or four horizontal stitches between R14 and R15 to form a triangle approximately 8 mm wide. Bring one vertical stitch down by 6 mm from the triangle’s center. Add two short diagonal stitches from the lower point only when a defined mouth is preferred.

Assembly

1. Place the body opening against the underside of the head, centered across R18–R20.
2. Sew the body to the head twice around the 18-stitch opening, adding a small amount of stuffing before closing the last 3 cm.
3. Pin the cheek patches below the eyes so their inner edges nearly meet at the center of the face.
4. Sew each cheek around its outer edge with small stitches, then embroider the nose over the space between them.
5. Position the arms on opposite sides of the body between R17 and R18, angled forward by approximately 15 degrees.
6. Attach the feet across R5–R8 of the body, leaving four visible stitches between their inner edges.
7. Pin each ear across R4–R6 of the head, placing six stitches between the inner ear bases.
8. Sew each pinched ear base in a narrow oval, then add one anchoring stitch 8 mm behind the first seam to hold the upright angle.
9. Attach the tail to the back of the body between R7 and R10, centered on the rear vertical line.
10. Weave every yarn tail through at least 4 cm of dense fabric before trimming it inside the figure.

The completed rabbit should stand with both feet and the lowest body round touching the work surface.

7 Technical Tips

• Marker drift: A missing stitch marker can shift an ear or limb attachment by several rounds. Move the marker after the first stitch of every round rather than at the end.
• Soft neck: Loose stuffing beneath the head causes forward tilting. Pack the upper 2 cm of the body firmly while keeping the seam allowance clear.
• Visible decrease bars: Standard decreases leave horizontal gaps across the face. Work every head decrease through the front loops only.
• Misaligned eyes: Eye backs cannot be moved after the head opening narrows below 30 stitches. Count 10 visible stitches between the posts before attaching the washers.
• Ear flare: Stuffed ears become heavy and rotate away from the crown. Leave both ears empty and pinch the lowest 9 stitches into a narrow base.
• Uneven feet: Sewing without pins can leave one foot 5–10 mm higher than the other. Rest the body on a flat table while all four foot corners are pinned.
• Escaping tails: A yarn end woven through only one round can work back through the fabric. Pass each tail in three directions across at least 4 cm before cutting.

Conclusion

Check the ear spacing, eye line and foot contact points before treating the project as finished. The next practical step is to record the yarn brand, hook size and completed height, since those details make later copies more consistent. Photograph the rabbit from the front and side to document its ear angle and body balance. Share the finished white bunny amigurumi crochet pattern project on Pinterest and Instagram with the hashtag #UprightWhiteBunny. When making another version, will you keep both ears vertical or bend one ear forward by adding a hidden anchoring stitch?
