Crochet Hook
Yarn
It is recommended to use one color of worsted weight yarn for this project, unless you're looking to include some fun details, like an edging or some stitched facial characteristics. The bulk of the body only requires one color. Your skein should be labeled "worsted," which falls right in the middle of the scale of weight for yarn.
Tapestry Needle
In order to stitch the various pieces of the bunny for sewing, you'll need an edging needle. The needle used is large and blunt, and has a huge eye that is designed specifically for thicker yarn.
Stuffing
Filling your amigurumi bunny with fillings allows it to maintain its form. There are many kinds of fiberfill stuffing, although a cluster-style stuffing will withstand multiple machine washes without getting clumped.
Safety Eyes
Safety eyeglasses are a great method to add some excitement to your amigurumi bunny. The eyes simply snap onto the fabric, with the eye on the front with a safety washer at the back.

How do I Crochet a Bunny
Step 1: Design the Ears and Head.
Every one of the ears is a part of an earring that is magic. After that, create an array of increases and decreases to create the oblong shape of the bunny ears. But, don't overfill the ears; rather, you'll make them flat so that they're straight.
When the ears have been completed, sew them onto the head of the bunny by using a tapestry needle. Pro tip: It can be helpful to hold the ears together with a few straight pins as you stitch.
Step 2. Crochet your Body and Arms
Beginning at the feet beginning at the feet, you can create the remainder of the body. For each leg, start with a magic circle, and follow the pattern until you've got the shape of a half-sphere. Then, connect the two legs together using two crochets. After connecting, you can crochet all around both legs, and continue making a series of increments to form the bunny's torso. Incorporate fiberfill into the body leaving a open space, which is where you will attach the head.
Each arm should be started by creating a magic circle after which you will stitch eight rows of 10 single crochets. This will result in two arms that are tubular.
Step 3. Sew Everything Together
Now that you have all the foundational pieces--the the torso, head and arms, you can join them all. First, connect the head to the body. Both pieces feature small, circular openings. Place the holes in the same direction to hold the two pieces together with a few straight pins. Then, use your tapestry needle , yarn and tapestry needle to stitch around the perimeter until the two pieces are secured together.
