- 2.5 mm or 3.0 mm crochet hook (depending on your tension).
- Additional Tools:
- 5 mm safety eyes (or embroidery thread for stitched eyes).
- Stitch marker (optional but helpful).
- Yarn needle for sewing parts together.
- Scissors.
- Stuffing material (polyfill).
Be sure to check the yarn weight label to ensure it fits your chosen hook size.

Pattern Notes:
- This pattern uses amigurumi techniques worked in continuous rounds unless specified otherwise (e.g., SL ST rows).
- Use a stitch marker to track the first stitch of each round.
- Light-weight yarn is recommended for finer details. Adjust hook size for different yarn weights if needed.
Gauge, Approximate Size, and Pattern Notes
- Gauge: Not critical for this project. However, ensure your stitches are tight enough to prevent stuffing from poking through.
- Finished Size: Approximately 7–8 cm (3–3.5 inches) sitting height, depending on yarn thickness and hook size.
- Special Techniques:
- Popcorn Stitch: Work 5 double crochets into the same stitch, remove hook from the last loop, insert hook into the first DC of the 5, pull the dropped loop through, and complete the stitch.
- Magic Ring: Used to start parts of the bunny (instructions below).
Gauge swatch is not necessary for amigurumi, but keep tension consistent.
