Materials Needed

Before you begin, gather the following supplies to ensure a smooth and enjoyable crochet experience:

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton or acrylic yarn in the following colors:
  • Cream (for the bunny's body, head, and ears)
  • Soft pink (for the flower petals)
  • Sage green (for the leaves)
  • Butter yellow (optional, for a flower center or additional accents)
• Crochet Hook: 3.5mm (E) hook
• Stitch Markers: To track your rounds (essential for spiral crochet)
• Yarn Needle: For sewing pieces together and weaving in ends
• Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill or your preferred amigurumi stuffing
• Safety Eyes (optional): 6mm black safety eyes, or black embroidery floss/yarn for embroidered eyes
• Pink Embroidery Floss or Yarn: For the nose
• Scissors

Note on Gauge: The gauge is 4 sc x 4 rows = 1 inch, but this is not critical for amigurumi. What matters most is maintaining consistent tension throughout your work to ensure a tight fabric that holds the stuffing well.
