Spring is definitely here, folks! Thank. Goodness. I’ve never cared much for winter.. in fact I can safely say that I hate it. Every year I’m the sour puss during winter because it’s just so dang cold. That being said, I greet spring every year with a GIANT welcome sign and bid winter a not-so-fond adieu. I wanted to come up with an amigurumi to celebrate spring. My brain immediately spat out “bunny, but make ’em chunky.” And thus, Roly-Poly Bunny was born!
I know we’ve all been trapped inside both keeping ourselves and others safe this year, but my hope is that this little amigurumi bunny pattern will cheer you up!
I’ve included photos at the bottom of this post to help you assemble your Roly-Poly bunny. Enjoy!
sc (single crochet)
inc (increase): Make 2 single crochet stitches into same stitch.
dec (decrease): Insert hook under front loop only of next two stitches, yarn over, draw through through first two loops on hook, yarn over, draw through remaining two loops to finish.
st: stitch
sl st (slip stitch)
blo (back loop only): Rather than insert your hook into both loops to work a stitch, insert your hook under the back loop only and work the indicated stitches. Need help? Watch THIS VIDEO to help you with back loop only single crochet!
Gauge is not terribly important here as long as you are producing a nice, tight fabric so that the polifil/beads won’t pop through your stitches.
Finished bunny measures approximately 4.5 to 5 inches tall.
This pattern is written using US terminology.
Pattern is made in continuous rounds rather than joined.
Please note that I crochet left-handed and my photo guides may reflect this. If you crochet right-handed (with your hook in your right hand), all the stitches are the same and will look the same, you will simply be working in the opposite direction as I am.
Please do not copy or sell my pattern in any way. You are welcome to sell finished objects made using my pattern. I only ask for you to credit me so that other makers can find my patterns as well.

Cut felt pieces for feet and ears, and either glue or sew on. See “Felt” Section. Sew ears on, I sewed mine starting Row 22 and ended at row 25. For the feet, the skinnier ends are the bottoms of the feet and should face downwards, the wider ends are the tops of the feet. Sew feet on front of body at an angle. Start sewing feet from the bottom, and leave the tops of the feet free. See “Feet” Section below. Sew front legs on sides of body, at approx. row 15. Create pom-pom in pom-pom maker or use pre-made pom, sew or glue on.
When you are happy with how the eyes look, place them back on your bunny and place the washers on the backs of the eyes.
For the bunny feet, cut felt pieces and place as shown above; you’re making two hearts and six small circles. Sew or glue in place in the above configuration.
Using either the pom-pom you made with your pom-pom maker (I used Clover’s pom-pom makers) – or the smaller pom-poms such as above from Michael’s, either sew or hot glue your bunny tail to your bunny. I added mine around rows 11-12 of the bunny body.
