Cut yarn, leaving a long end. Use a blunt needle to go through the front loops of the remaining 6 stitches and pull to close the hole.

Face Details:

  1. Eyes:
    • Using sport weight yarn, thread from bottom to round 11 with six stitches apart. Repeat for the other eye, skipping one stitch to keep 6 stitches in between.
    • Pull to cinch, tie off and weave the ends inside.
    • Create a small eye knot by wrapping yarn in a circle 6 times, then pulling ends tight. Attach similarly to marked eye spots.
  2. Nose:
    • Mark between rounds 10 and 11, place pins to mark a stitch and a half wide.
    • Insert pink yarn from bottom vertical line, come out from the top center and sides.

Ears:

  1. Position Ears:
    • Position between rounds 19 and 20 or use the cherry top for positioning.
  2. Crocheting Ears:
    • Chain desired length, work from the second chain from the hook. Mark first stitch for reference.
    • Slip stitch into the head, continue down the chain without twisting.
    • For the bottom part, place 3 sc in the first stitch, then sc down to the head and slip stitch into the same place.

Cherry Cover:

  1. Follow Head Instructions:
    • Start similar to the bunny’s head, up to round 10.
  2. Attach Cherry:
    • Place the cherry on the bunny’s head, chain around the first ear, skip two stitches, chain around the second ear. Ensure tension is right.
    • Remove the cherry cover to weave in the end securely.
  3. Second Bunny:
    • Repeat above steps.

Assembly:

  1. Attach Cherries:
    • Leave a long end for the chain to sew onto the bunny’s head.
    • If sewed onto the head directly, cherries won’t be removable.

Enjoy your adorable bunny amigurumi!
