What about cute Halloween decorations? Let’s crochet this cute little bunny voodoo. For your creative crochet process you need some yarn, hook, needles and your good mood. I hope you’ll enjoy the process.
LITTLE TIPS
- Crochet continuously in rounds, unless otherwise specified.
- To keep count, use stitch marker in the beginning of each row.
- You can use any suitable yarn of any other gauge or material with a suitable crochet hook to achieve a tight stitch with no gaps. But keep in mind that the finished toy will have a different size.
- The choice of stuffing material is also up to you.
- For filling the pieces of a toy I recommend you to use any kind of thin wooden stick, the sushi stick is quite good for this purpose.
- The final toy’s height can vary because of materials used, yarn gauge, hook size and crochet density.
- Finished toy’s height is about 6.5 cm / 3 inches, if using stated materials.
MATERIALS AND TOOLS:
- Sport weight yarn (12 wpi): I used YarnArt Begonia (100% cotton)
170m/50g – colors: cyan, red (to embroider the heart) - Thread of a black color to embroider sutures
- 1.4 mm crochet hook (Tulip)
- Pins, scissors
- Tapestry needle for sewing
- Stuffing material, fiberfill
- Plastic black button D=10mm with 4 holes – 1pc
ABBREVIATIONS (US):
- MR – magic ring
- ch – chain
- st/sts – stitch/stitches
- sc – single crochet
- slst – slip stitch
- inc – increase
- dec – decrease*
- R – rows, rounds
- BLO/FLO – back/front loop only
- Puff st – a puff stitch of 3 hdc with 1 top.
To make a puff stitch of 3 hdc you need:

- the 7 loops on your hook and continue to follow pattern.
- (…) * n – repeat instructions in brackets n times
- (xx) – the number of stitches in the end of the row
*try to do invisible decreases to prevent gaps
->To change color you have to crochet new yarn through the two loops of your previous stitch on hook.

- Sew the head and the body together. Add stuffing if required before youclose the hole.
- With fine black colored thread embroider the big suture across both thehead and the body, make more stitches to shape out the nose on it’s place.
- With red colored yarn embroider the little heart.
