Bunny “Sunday Brunch” – Free Crochet Pattern

Hình ảnh Ghim câu chuyện

Introduction

Meet the Bunny “Sunday Brunch”—a soft, pastel amigurumi bunny dressed in a blush beret, a peach cropped cardigan, a striped gingham-inspired dress with scalloped hem, canvas-style sneakers, and a tiny caramel crossbody bag finished with a waffle charm. This pattern focuses on clean proportions, gentle textures. Keep your stitches snug for the plush and a touch looser for the clothing to achieve the same drape and silhouettes.





Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Abbreviations (US Terms)

MR (magic ring), ch (chain), sc (single crochet), hdc (half double crochet), dc (double crochet), sl st (slip stitch), inc (increase = 2 sc in one st), dec (invisible decrease), BLO/FLO (back/front loop only), sc2tog (single crochet 2 together), rep (repeat), st(s) (stitch/es), rnd(s) (round(s)), RS/WS (right/wrong side).

Gauge & Finished Size

  • Amigurumi gauge (2.25 mm): ~24 sc × 26 rnds = 10 cm (4 in) in the round, worked firmly.
  • Garment gauge (2.75 mm): ~20 hdc × 16 rows = 10 cm.
  • Finished size: ~28–29 cm tall body, ~38–39 cm including ears.
  • If your size differs, adjust hook down/up to match.

Pattern Notes

  • Work the plush in continuous rounds unless stated; place a marker at the first st of each rnd.
  • Stuff little by little; keep head firm to support ears.
  • Color changes for the dress use 2-row stripes (blush/cream alternating).
  • Count carefully at placement map below for eyes, ears, arms.
  • Seam clothes invisibly; weave ends inside garments.

Placement Map (for Accuracy)

  • Head: Eyes on Rnd 18, 13 sts apart. Nose centered on Rnd 20–21, small triangle width 3 sts, height 2 rnds; vertical mouth line 2 rnds.
  • Ears: Sew between Head Rnds 6–8, 8 sts apart, tilted back ~15°.
  • Arms: Attach to body at Body Rnd 28 (counting up from base), center-to-center 18 sts apart.
  • Legs: Joined to body base; toe tips align with center front.
