Agnes
the luxury crocheted bunny
by Marta Mitchell
With her baby alpaca fur and her Liberty Tana Lawn cotton ears, Agnes is the softest,
most luxurious bunny ever! She is crocheted using amigurumi techniques and all her
cute little details are hand stitched after she has been sewn together.
This pattern is written in UK terms and rated BEGINNER level.

Notes
I’ve provided instructions for both the magic loop method and the chain 2 method of starting - choose
whichever you are most comfortable with. Here is a useful link to the magic loop method
https://www.gathered.how/knitting-and-crochet/crochet/how-to-make-a-crochet-magic-loop/
Invisible decreases are another of the crochet techniques I like to use in my patterns because it creates
such a smooth and flawless look. Where I have indicated dc2tog; insert hook through front loop only
(flo) of 1st stitch to be decreased (2 loops on hook), do not yarn over, insert hook through flo of 2nd
stitch to be decreased (3 loops on hook), yo, pull through 2 loops (2 loops left on hook) yo, pull through
both loops. 1 invisible decrease made. If you are new to crochet and want to keep things simple, then
dc2tog in the standard way, if you want to give it a go here’s a link to a photo tutorial

A treble cluster (trCl) is used to create the thumb; a group of 3 trebles joined closely at the top. To
make a trCl work each of the trebles up to the last yo/ pull through needed to complete the stitch (4
loops on hook), yo, pull through all loops on hook = 1trCl made.
For the head pattern I’ve staggered the increases to avoid the hexagonal look which standard
increasing methods create. I have not done so for the body because it’s less noticeable.
With the exception of the ears, which are
worked in rows, all other parts are crocheted
in the round in the amigurumi style (ie. no
ch1/ ss at the beginning of rounds). All the
body parts are made separately and sewn
together.

38st)
After finishing Row 2 on 2nd and 4th ears, do not cut yarn. Place inner ear and outer together with RS
facing each other (personally, I find the wrong side looks neater, you may wish to experiment for
yourself!). Working into both inner and outer ear, work around the ear double crocheting them together
(this side is now RS). Finish off leaving a long length of yarn.
With new RS facing down, draw around the ear onto the back of your Liberty Tana Lawn cotton. Cut
out, 4mm in from the line. Check it for size, trim some more if necessary. Top tip: draw around and cut
each ear separately, they won’t be symmetrical. Sew to new RS of ear using neat, small stitches. Pinch
base of ear together and sew together using a few tight stitches. Using the photo as a guide, sew the
ears to the head.
Finishing Details
Using the photo as a guide, sew 2 buttons on for eyes. Cut the muzzle shape out of felt and sew using
embroidery thread onto the head using small stitches. Sew a few satin stitches for the nose. Sew small
stitches for the mouth.
If you’re feeling creative, why not make your bunny a cute Liberty dress!
