Happy Friday friends! Who's ready to add a pop (and hop) of color to your Spring decor?! When I think of Spring, bunnies always come to mind.
It's probably why you can find so many bunny inspired patterns on the blog (Berry Patch Bunnies - Boy and Girl Version - Mini Berry Patch Bunnies - Bunny Headband). It was only natural we needed a shelf sitting bunny so we could mix it in with our favorite Spring decor on a shelf, table or desk!
I've also used a weighted base in the body to help her to stay in place. If you haven't used a weighted base before I'll walk you through it below!
If you're new to amigurumi this is a great pattern to start with. The body and head are made as one piece and by closing up the limbs it makes sewing a breeze!

Notes -
· Yarn used in pattern is WeCrochet Comfy Worsted in the colors Parchment, Flamingo, Peony, Peapod, Carrot, Vinca, and Seafoam.
· Spring Bunny measures 8.5 inches tall. Difference in tension, yarn or hook size may produce a slightly taller or shorter finished product.
· Slowly stuff as you go, you want it to be firm but not stretched. You will be working in a continuous round; I recommend using a stitch marker at the beginning or end of each round.
· For this pattern the body and head will be made as one piece.
Optional Weighted Base –
Adding a weighted base will help your Spring Bunny to sit on a shelf or flat surface if using as Spring décor. You’ll need a knee-high stocking and approx. 1/3 cup of poly-pellets. Pour your poly-pellets into your stocking and create a knot to close. This will be inserted after round 21 of the body.
