Crochet Velvet Bunny Lovey Free Pattern
Crochet Velvet Bunny Lovey Pattern by Crochet For You

So here is a cute bunny lovey for little ones to snuggle with. This bunny lovey so soft with velvet yarn and gives extra coziness. This lovey would make a wonderful spring/Easter gift.

Velvet Bunny Amigurumi

Finished size: The blanket measures 13” x 13”.
Materials
- Velvet yarn (approx: 250 yards). (Scroll down & read the yarn suggestions)
- Light worsted weight, white color yarn. approx: 100 yards)
Small amount of Sport or DK weight yarn in pink color- US H-8, 5mm crochet hook

The velvet yarn I used for this pattern.
This yarn I ordered from eBay, also available on
Yarn suggestion
When I checked the gauge, there was a little different between my gauge swatch and Vel-Luxe yarn on the Lion Brand website.
My gauge swatch (4” x 4”) with H-8, 5mm crochet hook was 16 sc x 15 rows. I think Lion Brand Vel-Luxe yarn is perfect for this project than Bernat Velvet yarn.
The Gauge of the velvet yarn: 16 sc x 15 rows = (4” x 4”) with H-8, 5mm crochet hook.

Notes:
Head and arms

Head
With velvet yarn and H-8, 5mm crochet hook, make an adjustable/magic ring.
Round 1: 6 sc into the adjustable ring. (6 sts)
Round 2: 2 sc inc around. (12 sts)
Round 3: sc in each st around. (12 sts)
Round 4: [sc inc, 1 sc] 6 times. (18 sts)
Round 5: [sc inc, sc in each of next 2 sts] 6 times. (24 sts)
Round 6: [sc inc, sc in each of next 3 sts] 6 times. (30 sts)
Round 7: [sc inc, sc in each of next 4 sts] 6 times. (36 sts)
Round 8: sc in each st around. (36 sts)
Round 9: repeat round 8. (36 sts)
Round 10: [sc inc, sc in each of next 5 sts] 6 times. (42 sts)
Round 11: sc in each st around. (42 sts)
Round 12 to 14: repeat round 8. (42 sts) Embroider nose with pink yarn and attach eyes between 7 and 8 rounds.
When attaching eyes to the head, I used shank buttons in black color that have a loop at the back. Because, instead of making round head, I need to get the real rabbit face.
So here what I did. Using a long piece of black color yarn and tapestry needle, I knot a tie on the loop of the first button, insert the needle from right side to the wrong side between 7 and 8 rounds where I want to attach the first eye. At this point, you can add fiberfill into the nose part. Then insert the needle from the wrong side to the right side between 7 and 8 rounds on
Insert the needle through the loop of the button and insert again through the same spot where you get the needle out (see images 1 & 2 below). Pull the yarn little bit tight to get the rabbit face detail. You can adjust the shape of the rabbit face while adjusting eyes and adding fiberfill. I added more fiberfill between eyes and nose to make forehead. When you get the shape of the forehead, tie a knot and add more fiberfill (see images 3 & 4 below).
Round 15: ch 1[sc dec, sc in each of next 5 sts] 6 times, sl st to the first st. (36 sts)
Round 16: [sc dec, sc in each of next 4 sts] 6 times. (30 sts)
Round 17: sc in each st around. (30 sts)
Round 18: [sc dec, sc in each of next 3 sts] 6 times. (24 sts)
Round 19: [sc dec, sc in each of next 2 sts] 6 times. (18 sts)
Round 20: [sc dec, sc in next st] 6 times. (12 sts)
Round 21: start from the first st, sc dec around. (6 sts) Add fiberfill. Fasten off and cut the yarn leaving about 8″ long yarn tail. Close the head using a tapestry needle and yarn tail. (weave through the stitches around the last round and pull tightly to close, Tie a knot)

Thank you so much! 🙂

What is the difference between the two yarns? I have been trying to make a Afghan out of the velvet following the pattern and I will say I will never use this yarn again. I have never had a yarn that stretches so much and I can drop stitches easily in my life. Haven’t addressed this yet with Bernat but will in the future. If the other yarn is gonna be like this one then count me out
