Materials & Abbreviations

To get the best results, we recommend using a cotton blend yarn. This keeps the stitches tight and prevents the stuffing from peaking through. For the USA audience, we have converted the original measurements to imperial units.

Materials Needed

Main Yarn (DK Weight): A cotton/acrylic blend (approx. 55% cotton, 45% acrylic). You will need small amounts of Grey, White, Light Green, and Orange.
Detail Yarn (Embroidery Thread or Mercerized Cotton): Small amounts of Black, White, and Pink for the facial features.
Crochet Hooks: 2.0 mm (for the main body) and 2.5 mm (specifically for the top of the overalls).
Stuffing: High-quality polyester fiberfill.
Notions: Two small buttons (approx. 0.3 inches / 8mm) for the overalls, tapestry needle, scissors, and stitch markers.
Assembly Tools: Tweezers or a chopstick can be very helpful for stuffing small areas.

Step-by-Step Instructions

The Head

Using the 2.0 mm hook and grey yarn. This is worked in a continuous spiral; do not join rounds with a slip stitch unless specified.

Round 1: Ch 2, work 6 sc into the second ch from the hook. (6)
Round 2: Inc in every stitch around. (12)
Round 3: (1 sc, inc)*6. (18)
Round 4: (2 sc, inc)*6. (24)

Stuff the head firmly with fiberfill using your tweezers to reach the top. Finish the head by performing 6 decreases in a row (6). Cut the yarn, leave a small tail, and use your tapestry needle to weave the end through the remaining 6 stitches and pull tight to close. Hide the tail inside the head.

Facial Details

The Eyes & Nose

Using the thin black cotton yarn, embroider the eyes. Start from the neck area and come up through the face (around rounds 10 and 11). Create small vertical stitches for the eyes. You can add a tiny white stitch on top of the black for a “sparkle” effect. Repeat the process with pink yarn for the nose and a small straight line for the mouth.

The Cheeks

Using pink yarn and the 2.0 mm hook:

Round 1: Ch 2, work 6 sc into the second ch from the hook. (6)

Round 2: Inc in every stitch around. (12)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Make two cheeks and sew them to the sides of the head.

Round 2: Inc in every stitch around. (12)
Round 3: (1 sc, inc)*6. (18)
Rounds 4–5: Sc in each stitch around. (18)

Creating the Legs

To create the legs, we divide the body in half. You will work the first leg by joining two sides of the body with a decrease.

Leg One

Round 1: Dec (joining the sides), 7 sc, dec, 7 sc. (16)
Round 2: Sc in each stitch around. (16)
Round 3: Dec, 6 sc, dec, 6 sc. (14)
Rounds 4–9: Sc in each stitch around for 6 rounds. (14)

Leave this leg for now and move to the second leg.

Leg Two

Round 1: Dec, 7 sc, dec, 7 sc. (16)
Round 2: Sc in each stitch around. (16)

Using a tapestry needle, sew a few stitches between the legs to close any gaps. Continue the leg pattern:

Round 3: Dec, 6 sc, dec, 6 sc. (14)

Rounds 4–9: Sc in each stitch around. (14)

Now work both legs together from Round 10 to 14 (14 sc each). Stuff the legs and body firmly.

Round 13: (1 sc, dec, dec, dec)*2. (8)

Round 14: Dec twice. (6)

Close the legs using the same method used for the head.

The Arms

Using grey yarn:

Round 1: Ch 2, work 6 sc into the second ch from the hook. (6)
Round 2: Inc in every stitch around. (12)
Rounds 3–5: Sc in each stitch around. (12)
Round 6: Dec, 1 sc, dec, 4 sc. Switch to Light Green yarn and work 3 more sc. (10)
Round 7: 1 sc, dec, 7 sc. (9)
Rounds 8–15: Sc in each stitch around. (9)

Left Arm: Round 16: 9 sc. Round 17: 3 sc. Fasten off.

Right Arm: Round 16: 8 sc. Fasten off.

Stuff the arms 2/3 of the way and sew them to the body.

Finishing Touches

Overalls Detail

Using the 2.5 mm hook and orange yarn, we will create the top of the overalls by working directly into the first row of the orange section of the body.

Row 1: Ch 1, work 7 sc across the chest.

Rows 2–5: Ch 1, turn, work 7 sc.

Row 6: 7 sl st across. Fasten off.

The Straps

Attach orange yarn to the back of the bunny.

Step: Ch 1, 1 sc into the body. Turn. Ch 1, 1 sc. Repeat this back-and-forth process for about 11 rows. Fasten off and sew the strap to the top of the overalls. Repeat for the second strap. Finally, sew the two buttons to the front of the overalls.

The Tail

Using grey yarn:

Round 1: Ch 2, work 6 sc into second ch. (6)

Round 2: Inc in every stitch. (12)

Round 3: Sc in each stitch around. (12)

Fasten off and sew to the back. Stuff slightly while sewing.

The Carrot Accessory

The Root (Orange):

Round 1: Ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch. (6)

Round 2: Inc in every st. (12)

Round 3: (1 sc, inc)*6. (18)

Rounds 4–15: Sc in each st. (18)

Round 16: 1 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec, 3 sc. (15)

Rounds 17–18: Sc in each st. (15)

Round 19: (3 sc, dec)*3. (12)

Rounds 20–21: Sc in each st. (12)

Round 22: (dec, 2 sc)*3. (9)

Rounds 23–25: Sc in each st. (9)

Stuff the root.

Round 26: (1 sc, dec)*3. (6)

Rounds 27–29: Sc in each st. (6)

Round 30: Dec twice and close.

Use brown yarn to embroider small horizontal stitches along the root for a realistic look.

The Leaves (Green):

Ch 13. Starting in the 2nd ch, work 5 sc down the chain. In the same st, ch 6 and work 5 sc back down the new chain. Sl st to join the leaf to the stem. Work 6 sc down the main stem.

Ch 1, turn, and work sc around the stem to thicken it. Repeat the leaf process to create a total of 6-7 leaves. Curl the finished greens into a bunch and sew them to the top of the carrot.

Tips for Success

Tight Tension: Since this is amigurumi, keep your stitches tight so the stuffing doesn’t show through.
Stitch Markers: Always use a stitch marker at the end of your rounds, as it’s easy to lose count in spiral crochet.
Stuffing: Stuff the limbs before sewing them to the body to ensure they are plump and symmetrical.
Customization: Feel free to change the colors! A blue or pink pair of overalls would look just as cute.
