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.
If you are a beginner but still eager to challenge yourself with this project, don’t worry—I’ve got you covered! Before diving into the pattern, take a moment to explore my helpful guides. You can get familiar with standard terms using the Crochet Abbreviations guide, learn foundational techniques with How to Crochet Basic Stitches, and master shaping and assembly through the Perfect Amigurumi Guide series alongside Amigurumi Advanced Techniques.
