Meet the Plumpy Bunny!

This is a quick, easy, and low-sew amigurumi rabbit that is designed using plush yarn. With this crochet pattern, you can whip up a tiny little bunny that’s about 3.5″ in length!

Uses

The Plumpy Bunny makes an adorable keychain or mini desk buddy. You can also put it into large plastic Easter eggs as a non-candy Easter egg stuffer!

Other than Easter, this Plumpy Bunny is a great last-minute gift to make for other occasions. Some ideas include a Christmas stocking stuffer, spring or summer craft fair product (perfect quick make for market prep!), party favors for a bunny-themed birthday, or class Valentine’s Day gifts!

Printables

I made some fun and FREE printables for this bunny, including an “Adoption Certificate” card and a set of Valentine’s Day Gift Tags!

Bunny Adoption Certificate

The Adoption Certificate is available as a full size page, or as smaller “cards” with four on a page. I like having the mini cards option because it saves paper, and these mini certificates are cute and perfectly sized for a mini bunny! They’d be well-suited to prep for parties for kids to pick and adopt their very own sweet bunny! Place a colorful variety of amigurumi bunnies in a basket of fake grass, with a small stack of the adoption certificates beside it and some colorful pens or makers to write with! It makes the perfect party favor station for birthday parties!

Valentine’s Day Gift Tags

The Valentine’s Day gift tags is a multi-colored set of 6 tags with adorable bunny-themed graphics and punny messages. Just print them out on cardstock paper, cut them out, punch a hole through the top, and string them to the crochet Plumpy Bunny!

Recommended Yarn

This adorable amigurumi is designed with Posh Twist yarn, which is a super plush and soft bulky weight 5 yarn. It works up fast and produces generously-sized amigurumis with fewer stitches compared to thinner yarns!

While this pattern is designed with plush yarn for that plush, squishy look, it also works great with cotton or acrylic yarns if that’s what you have on hand. Your bunny will just end up smaller, but they’ll be the perfect size for a little keychain, hanging ornament, or bag charm!
