Pattern Details & Difficulty
Before you begin, please note that this free crochet bunny pattern is rated as intermediate. While the basic stitches are straightforward, the assembly and some details on clothes require a bit of experience with amigurumi. When using the recommended yarn and hook size, the finished Daisy bunny stands approximately 8 inches (21 cm) tall. This makes her the perfect size for cuddling or as a centerpiece in a spring-themed nursery.

First Star of the round:
- Start with ch 2.
- Insert hook into the second chain from hook and pull up a loop (2 loops on hook).
- Insert hook into the “body” (side loop) of the previous stitch and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook).
- Insert hook into the base of the same stitch where the chain was made and pull up a loop (4 loops on hook).
- Insert hook into the next stitch and pull up a loop (5 loops on hook).
- Insert hook into the following stitch and pull up a loop (6 loops on hook).
- Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops on hook.
- Chain 1 to form the “eye” of the star.
Next 11 Stars (Regular Stars): Note: You start with 1 loop already on your hook.
- Insert hook into the eye of the previous star and pull up a loop (2 loops on hook).
- Insert hook into the “body” (the last loop of the previous star) and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook).
- Insert hook into the same stitch where the last loop of the previous star was worked and pull up a loop (4 loops on hook).
- Insert hook into the next stitch and pull up a loop (5 loops on hook).
- Insert hook into the following stitch and pull up a loop (6 loops on hook).
- Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops, chain 1 to close and form the eye.
