Tutor's Suggestions
-
Invisible Join: The tutor emphasizes using the "invisible join" for the muzzle to ensure the circle looks perfectly round before sewing.
-
Stuffing Balance: Stuff the head firmly to maintain the sculpted shape, but stuff the body slightly less so the bunny remains soft and lightweight for a keychain.
-
Eye Sculpting: Don't be afraid to pull the sculpting thread tight—this is what gives the bunny its expressive, "pouty" face.
The design is simple yet engaging. Start with a magic ring to form the head, then work single crochet stitches in rounds, gradually increasing to shape a plump, balanced body. 
Level of Difficulty: Intermediate. The small scale and specialized stitches (Pineapple stitch) require steady tension and careful counting.
Special Features:
-
-
Pineapple Stitch Limbs: This technique integrates the arms and legs into the body rounds, eliminating the need to sew four tiny separate pieces.
-
Neck Definition: The use of front-loop decreases creates a sharp anatomical transition between the head and body.
-
Attach the ears and limbs with careful slip stitches, and finish with tiny embroidered eyes and a little tail for character. Each step ensures a secure, well-shaped bunny, while allowing room for subtle variations in color, texture, or small decorative touches.
Conclusion
This Amigurumi Bunny project is an excellent exercise in advanced shaping on a miniature scale. By utilizing textured stitches for limbs and anatomical sculpting for the face, you transform a simple crochet shape into a high-quality, professional-looking charm. Whether you make it for yourself or as a gift, this tiny rabbit is sure to be a conversation starter.
Final Tip
When working the Pineapple Stitches for the arms and legs, push the cluster toward the outside of the body with your finger before moving to the next SC. This ensures the "paw" pops out prominently rather than getting squashed inside the stuffing of the body.
