Ragdoll Bunny Amigurumi Free Crochet Pattern

You dream of making crochet toys, but amigurumi intimidates you? Start with simple ragdoll projects, such as this pink bunny! It’s easy because it’s just two flat shapes that come together and create a squishy toy.

Bunny-themed projects are perfect for Easter, but this little gal can bring joy all year round. Use it as a toy, a decoration, or gift it to someone you love. If you use a small hook and a lighter yarn, you could even turn her into a keychain.

Gather leftover yarn ends and spend an evening making this simple ragdoll amigurumi. The effect is worth it!

About The Project

We start by crocheting two flat bunny heads – egg-shaped circles with two ears worked in back-and-forth rows. Next, we join the two parts using single crochets, filling out the toy with polyfill as we go. For final details, we add embroidery, fringe, and a bow.

The toy is ~13 cm tall (~5.12 inches). Keep in mind that your crocheting style, the yarn choice, and the hook size will affect the size.

This free pattern uses standard US terms. Learn more about the differences between UK and US crochet terms in my article.

Pattern Notes

1 ch and 2 ch at the beginning of the round (turning chains) don’t count as a stitch and aren’t included in the overall stitch count.
The overall stitch count for a given row or round is provided as a number in brackets (#).

The Bunny Face

First, make the circle:

Start:

magic ring

Round 1:

6 sc into the loop, close with a slip stitch

Round 2:

1 ch, (inc = 2 sc in one st) x6, sl st (12)

Round 3:

1 ch, (inc, 1 sc) x6, sl st (18)

Round 4:

1 ch, (1 sc, inc, 1 sc) x6, sl st (24)

Round 5:

1 ch, (2 sc, inc, 1 sc) x6, sl st (30)

Round 6:

2 ch, (2 hdc in one st, 4 hdc) x6, sl st (36)

Next, shape the top part:

1 ch, 1 sc, 2 hdc in one st, 2 dc in one st, 1 dc, 1 dc, 2 dc in one st, 2 hdc in one st, 1 sc.

Continue around:

Place the stitch marker on the first single crochet.

(5 sc, inc) x2, 4 sc, inc, 5 sc, inc, 5 sc.

You now have 44 stitches all around.

Ear One

Turn after every row.

Row 1 / RS: 1 sl st, 1 ch, 3 sc, turn. (3)
Row 2 / WS: 1 ch, 3 sc. (3)
Row 3 / RS: 1 ch, inc, 1 sc, inc (5)
Rows 4-7: 1 ch, 5 sc (5)
Row 8 / WS: 1 ch, 3 sc, dec (4)
Row 9 / RS: 1 ch, 4 sc (4)
Row 10 / WS: 1 ch, 2 sc, dec (3)
Row 11 / RS: 1 ch, 3 sc (3)
Row 12 / WS: 1 ch, 1 sc, dec (2)
Row 13 / RS: 1 ch, dec (1)

Secure the last stitch and cut the yarn.

Ear Two

Turn the work wrong side up and attach the yarn to the stitch marked with the marker. You start on the other side, but the instructions remain the same.

Turn after every row.

Row 1 / WS: 1 sl st, 1 ch, 3 sc, turn. (3)
Row 2 / RS: 1 ch, 3 sc. (3)
Row 3 / WS: 1 ch, inc, 1 sc, inc (5)

Row 10 / RS: 1 ch, 2 sc, dec (3)
Row 11 / WS: 1 ch, 3 sc (3)
Row 12 / RS: 1 ch, 1 sc, dec (2)
Row 13 / WS: 1 ch, dec (1)

Cut the yarn and secure the last stitch.

Make two of these bunny faces.

Joining Two Parts

Once you’ve got two flat bunny faces ready, make sure that the stitches are tightly secured. They don’t need to be woven in, but we don’t want them to unravel.

Position one piece on top of another, with the wrong sides facing inward.
Take the color of yarn you used for the front of the face and attach it to the inside corner of Ear Two (in the crevice – as shown in the photo below).
Join the two parts by working single crochet stitches along the edge through both parts at once.
Work 3 sc in the top stitch when you reach the top of the ear, and add increases whenever you feel the edge should be more rounded.
Stuff the ear with polyfill now, as it may be harder to fill in later on due to the small opening.
Continue working all around the bunny face, roughly 1 sc per 1 row or stitch.
Crochet around Ear One and stuff it.
Fill in the whole Bunny Face.
Continue to close the ragdoll. When you reach your starting point, slip stitch in the first sc, cut the yarn, and weave in the ends.

Embroidery

Embroider the bunny face using a tapestry needle and yarn in a contrasting color. You can hide the yarn ends inside the doll simply by weaving them through the filling. The yarns will get stuck securely inside.

Fringe

Find 6 central stitches between the bunny ears.
Attach the yarn to the first stitch on your right, inserting the hook under the stitch.
Chain 5 and slip stitch it to the next stitch, again going under.
Repeat until you reach the last of your 6 stitches. Make a slip stitch, cut the yarn, and hide the ends.

Bow

Take another color of yarn and make a small rectangle:

Start: Chain 10.
Row 1: 1 ch, 1 sc in each stitch, turn. (10)
Row 2: 1 ch, 1 sc in each stitch. (10)

Cut the yarn and weave in the ends.

Then, sew it onto the bunny head, going many times in the center of the bow, until you create a thick center. Weave the ends inside the crochet ragdoll bunny.

It’s ready!
