Dress Me Bunny,
This bunny is a modified version of my Valentine Bear. There is a video tutorial for the bunny here that follows along in order with the written pattern.

Supplies:
Worsted weight yarn. I used Red Heart Comfort yarn
3.75mm to a 4.5mm hook – use the smaller hook if you see gaps in your stitches
blunt end yarn needle for sewing
scissors
100% polyester stuffing
you can use buttons, a french knot or paint eyes on.
For the bunnies pictured I used 10mm safety eyes that I glued in place and buttons.
optional – pipe cleaners for the ears and arms

Abbreviations:
st = stitch
sc = single crochet
ch1 = chain one
sl st = slip stitch
2tog = crochet 2 stitches together
f/o = finish off

Magic ring:
Many parts of this amigurumi begin with a magic ring. I have 2 short video tutorials that will show you 2 different methods of making a magic ring. Use the one that iseasiest for you. View 1st method here and 2nd method here.

How to read the rows:
Add a maker at the end of row 2 and move that marker each time you finish a row. Each row has a sequence. Example: 1sc then 2sc in next st means repeat that sequence 1sc then 2sc in next st followed by 1sc then 2sc in next st over and over to the end of that row. When you land on the marker you should be putting in 2sc. The number inside the parentheses ( ~ ) is the number of stitches you should have at the end of that particular row.

Safety Eye Placement:
The head and body are worked in one piece. If you plan to use safety eyes they are placed in between the 12th and 13th row with 7 visible stitches between them.

Muzzle Placement:
The top of the muzzle is placed on the 12th or 13th row, whichever looks best to you. Whip stitch a nose in place before sewing the muzzle to the head.

Pom Pom Tail:
to make a pom pom tail click here

Assembly: Refer to this part of the video for assembly.

1) Sew the legs flat to the underside of the body.
2) The arms are sewn under the head, I sewed mine one ring down from the top of the neck. Add a stitch or 2 from under the arm to the body to tack the arm down if they are flaring out too far.
3) Whip stitch a nose in place before sewing the muzzle to the head. Stuff the muzzle and use lots of pins to hold it in place before sewing. The top of the muzzle is placed on the 13th row.
4) Sit the bunny down and see where the tail will look best then pin it on, use lots of pins then sew it in place unless you made a pom pom tail. Sew the pom pom on as is shown in the video.
5) Pin the ears on top of the head and play around with placement before sewing them in place.
