YOU CAN USE ANY YARN AND TOOLS
 Head
Work with the yarn of white color.
VERY IMPORTANT
I crochet tightly in the technique which creates X-shaped stitches. If you
crochet in the technique, which creates V-shaped stitches, then your bunny
will be larger and you will need more yarn.

Stuff the head firmly with fiberfill.
Leave an opening for a needle sculpting, we will close it after making the
face details.
 Face details
Mark the points, the eyes will be located.
They should be located between rounds 11 and 12, the distance between
them is 4-5 stitches.
Thread the needle (take the same thread we are using for the bunny).
Insert the needle into the head BOTTOM and pull it out from the point,
where the first eye will be inserted, skip 1-2 stitches (to the side of the
second eye) and reinsert the needle. We made a short stitch. Pull out from
the point of the second eye, skip 1-2 stitches again and pull it out from the
next stitch on the bottom (next to the point where it was first inserted). The
distance between the eyes is 4-5 stitches.
Now pay attention to the VERY IMPORTANT moment.
It’s better if somebody helps you.
One of you pushes on the eyes area and squeezes the nose slightly (the point
where we have inserted the needle), the other one pulls the thread tails
carefully and ties them with each other.
Insert the thread tails into the needle eye and weave in inside of the head.
Sew or glue the eyes to the points where we have made the needle sculpting.
If you are going to use SAFETY RYES, then make the needle sculpting above
the eyes, then pull the threads to hide the stitches.
 nose
Thread the needle with the thread of black or brown color. I use a strong thread
for sewing.
Mark the points for the nose and the mouth. Insert the needle into the head opening,
leave a thread tail. Pull out from the first point on the nose, skip 4-5 stitches to the left,
insert the needle into the second point of the nose and pull it out from the head bottom
between rounds 4 and 5 on the muzzle.

Run above the nose stitch and insert the needle into the middle point between two
points of the nose, leaving two rounds down. Pull the needle, leaving two rounds
down from the mouth and two stitches to the left side from the mouth. Insert the
needle again into the opposite side of the mouth, pull out from the middle point of
the nose, run the needle inserting it under the stitch and insert into the middle
point on the mouth. Then pull the needle out from the head opening....

PULL BOTH THE THREAD TAILS VERY TIGHTLY, PUSHING ON THE CHEEKS.
To make the needle sculpting for the mouth use the same thread, sew the
mouth one more time. Pull the threads one more time and tie two ends.
Weave in the thread tails inside of the head.
 Expressive glance
and eyebrows
Insert the needle into the head opening and make the first eyebrow.
Leave 3 stitches up from the eyes, the width of the eyebrows is 3 stitches.
Pull out from the head opening. Tie the thread tails with each other.
You can make the eyebrows at any space you like.
Or you can leave your toy without eyebrows at all.

Thread the needle with the thread of white color.

Insert into the opening on the head, leaving a tail near the eye, skip a half of
the eye and pull out from the head opening again.
Make the second eye in the same way.
 Ears
Work with the thread of grey color.

Cut the thread, we will use it for sewing the ear to the head.
Make the second ear in the same way.

SEW THE EARS

Fold the ear in half and sew using a needle.
Insert the needle BETWEEN rounds 22 and 23 and pull out from the opening
on the head. Sew the ear with SHORT stitches back and forth (into the ear -
into the opening). Pull the thread to make the ear to be sunk inside of the head.
Sew the second ear in the same way, the distance between the ears is 14
stitches.
Tie the thread tails from the ears with each other, weave in inside of the head
opening
 Ears (for the bunny girl)

SEWING THE EARS

Sew the ear to any point on the head. Start sewing from round 21, leaving 29
stitches between the ears. Sew the top part of the ear, inserting the needle into the
stitch on the ear and into the stitch on the head, lay the ear across the head top
and sew the lower part of the ear, inserting the needle into the front loops of the
stitch.

11round - crochet into slip stitches , 15sc
12- 36rounds - sc all across the round = 15
You can insert THE WIRE into the arm middle (any wire of your choice), but don’t
forget to wrap the wire ends with adhesive tape to prevent it from piercing the
crochet fabric.
Stuff the arm firmly with fiberfill, but don’t stuff the top 3 rounds, so that we are
able to join it with the body.
Fold it in half.
VERY IMPORTANT.

Work the first stitch, then at once work the second stitch and when there are
three loops on the hook left - crochet them together - repeat three times, crochet
the last (the 4-th stitch) as usual.
This way we get 4 stitches worked on the arm.
Cut the thread.
Make the second arm in the same way.
 Body

 LEGS
Work with the thread of grey color.
Make ch16.
Crochet in rounds, working around the chain.
Make sl st and tch at the end of every round, but it’s not necessary. You can work
in rounds without it.

13sc, 1inc = 34

Draw an outline around the sole countour on the plastic sheet and cut the insole.
I use plastic storage units.
Cut -2pc.

VERY IMPORTANT
The plastic insole should be a bit smaller than the crochet sole.

you go.

 TAIL
Work with the thread of white color.

10round - (1sc, 1dec)*6 = 12
11round - dec all across the round and continue making decreases until the opening
is closed.
Cut the thread, we will use it for sewing the tail to the body.
Sew to any point with regular stitches.
If you want to make a bellybutton, then you can make a needle sculpting using the
same thread. Just pull the needle out from the point, where the bellybutton should
be located, embroider a cross and pull the needle back to the tail. Pull the thread to
form the necessary shape. Fasten off the thread on the tail.
Comb the tail to make it fluffy.
 Sewing the legs
Thread the needle with a strong thread (I use 100% cotton) four times folded.
Insert the needle into the leg ( count 4 rounds down from the top) into the
middle point (LEAVE A THREAD TAIL), pull the thread.
Insert the needle into the same point, where the thread goes out and pull it out,
leaving 1-2 stitches to the left.
Insert the needle between rounds 37 and 38 on the body side and pull it out
from the opposite side. Pierce the second leg, leaving 4 rounds from the top,
pull the needle out and insert into the same point on the opposite side, leaving 1-
2 stitches to the left.
Run the needle through the body again, inserting the needle into the same
points.

Pull the threads tightly and tie them in a knot.

IT’S VERY IMPORTANT TO PULL THE THREADS TIGHTLY TO PUSH THE
LEGS STRONGLY TO THE BODY.
I pull the threads not alone, I ask for a help, one of you pulls the thread
carefully and ties them, the other one pushes on the body slightly.
Weave in the thread tails inside of the body using a needle.
Brush the cheeks, the arms, the tail with a comb carefully if you used the
mohair yarn.
The bunny is finished.
