Mini Amigurumi Bunny Pattern (Free, 5cm Pocket Size)

Small enough to sit comfortably in your palm, this little bunny is designed around the soft, compact look of the reference: long upright ears, a rounded head, glossy black eyes, a tiny two-lobed muzzle, and a seated body with plump front feet. The construction below is an original miniature pattern created to reproduce those visible proportions at about 5 cm (2 in) tall, including the ears.

Thin chenille gives the bunny the plush texture seen in the reference without turning it into a full-size toy. The pieces are intentionally small, so this project is best for a confident beginner who already knows how to work in continuous rounds. You will use a magic ring, single crochet, increases, invisible decreases, simple sewing, and a small amount of facial embroidery.

Before You Begin

Work all amigurumi pieces in continuous rounds unless a step says otherwise. Move the stitch marker to the first stitch of every round, because tiny chenille stitches can hide the round transition. Keep your tension firm enough that stuffing does not show, but do not pull so tightly that the fuzzy strand becomes difficult to see.

For a bunny close to 5 cm tall, aim for a very dense miniature fabric. A useful reference is roughly 8 single crochets across 2 cm, although exact gauge is less important than keeping every part proportional. Add fiberfill in tiny wisps rather than one large clump. The head should be rounded, the body slightly pear-shaped, and the ears flat and unstuffed.

Insert the safety eyes before the head is closed. If the bunny is intended for a child under three, replace safety eyes with embroidered eyes. Because chenille can shed when repeatedly unpicked, check your stitch counts at the end of every shaping round before continuing.

Complete Crochet Pattern

Step 1 - Head

Start at the crown of the head with the main white chenille yarn.

After Round 5, place the 4 mm safety eyes between Rounds 4 and 5, about 5 stitches apart when counted across the front. Make sure the posts are level before locking the washers. Work Round 6, then stuff the head firmly but evenly. Finish Round 7, FO with a long tail, thread through the front loops of the remaining 6 stitches, pull closed, and secure.

Top-left: on the head during Round 4, insert the hook under both loops of the next stitch. Top-right: yarn over and begin pulling the working strand through the stitch. Bottom-left: pull up the loop so two loops sit on the hook. Bottom-right: yarn over and pull through both loops to complete one single crochet with one active loop remaining.

Step 2 - Body

Work from the lower center upward. This creates a rounded seated body that is a little narrower than the head.

Stuff after Round 6, keeping the lower half slightly fuller than the neck. After Round 7, FO and close the opening in the same way as the head. Leave a long tail for sewing the body to the head.

Step 3 - Ears, Arms, and Feet

Ears - Make 2

Do not stuff. Flatten each ear so the last round forms a straight sewing edge. FO with a long tail.

Arms - Make 2

Add only a tiny wisp of stuffing to the hand end. Flatten the open edge and FO with a sewing tail.

Feet - Make 2

Stuff each foot very lightly so it stays round rather than becoming a hard ball. FO with a long sewing tail.

Step 4 - Muzzle Pads and Tail

Muzzle pads - Make 2: Work 5 sc in MR, close the ring, sl st to the first sc, and FO with a long tail. Keep both little circles flat and unstuffed.

Tail - Make 1

Add a tiny pinch of stuffing, FO, and leave a tail for sewing.

Top-left: the rounded head after its shaping rounds and eye placement. Top-right: two matching flattened ears after Round 8. Bottom-left: the body and paired small limbs laid out before assembly. Bottom-right: the stuffed head and body held together to check their proportions before sewing.

Step 5 - Assembly

Pin the head directly above the body so the body opening sits against the center underside of the head. Sew through full stitches on both pieces, taking small evenly spaced bites and tightening after every few stitches. Check from the front and side before tying off.

Position the ears on the crown, with their flattened lower edges sitting near Head Rounds 1-2. Leave a narrow gap between them so they stand upright like the reference. Pin both first, compare their height, then sew through the ear base and the head stitches several times.

Place the arms on the sides of the upper body around Body Rounds 4-5, angled slightly forward. Sew the feet to the lower front around Body Rounds 2-3, with about one stitch of space between them. The bunny should be able to sit without the feet twisting outward. Attach the tail at the center back around Body Rounds 3-4.

Arrange the two muzzle pads side by side below the eyes, centered over Head Rounds 5-6. Their inner edges should touch. Sew around the outer edges, then use black floss to embroider a tiny vertical nose stitch at the meeting point and two short diagonal mouth stitches to form a soft Y shape.

Left: check the head and eye spacing before closing. Center: compare the two ear shapes and lengths before pinning. Right: lay out the body and matching limbs in pairs so the left and right sides can be attached symmetrically.

Finishing Touches

Roll the finished bunny gently between your palms to smooth the stuffing and restore the round head shape. Tug the ears lightly upward, then flatten them between your fingers so they remain narrow rather than tubular. Check that both feet touch the same surface and that the muzzle sits centered between the eyes.

Weave every yarn tail into the stuffed body and trim only after the tail is fully buried. A very small touch of dry pink blush can be added beside the muzzle, but keep it subtle so the clean white plush look remains the focus.

For an optional keychain, thread a 10-12 cm length of strong cotton cord through the crown between the ears with a tapestry needle, knot the two ends securely inside the head, and attach the outer loop to a split ring. Do not rely on a single chenille stitch to hold metal hardware.

Conclusion

This tiny bunny is a satisfying way to turn a handful of yarn into a soft pocket-sized character with a lot of expression. Once you have made one, the same proportions are easy to personalize with a new color, a tiny bow, embroidered eyes, or a secure keychain loop.
