Make adorable finger puppets with this free crochet bunny pattern!

It’s hard to believe that Easter is just a week away! It’s been such an odd time: the kids are out of school, we’re all social distancing and our plans for Easter weekend are still uncertain. We’ll definitely be foregoing our traditional community Easter egg hunt.

It looks like our gathering will be smaller this year. We’ll likely take the time this year then to set a pretty table with actual cloth napkins and pretty place cards.

We’ve also been doing some extra Easter crafting, knitting Easter eggs, making Minion bunny finger puppets with the kids and putting together little felt Easter baskets for them.

How have you been preparing for Easter?

This is worked as a continuous round.

Row 1: Magic chain 6.

Row 2: 2 sc in each stitch around. (12 sts)

Rows 3-7: 1 sc in each stitch around. (12 sts in each row)

Row 8: 1 sc in next 4 sts, dec over next 2 sts, dec over next 2 sts, 1 sc in next 4 sts. (10 sts)

Rows 9-12: 1 sc in stitch around. (10 sts in each row)

Row 13: 1 sl st in next 4 sts, 4 dc in next stitch, 1 sl st, 4 dc in next stitch, 1 sl st in next 4 sts (17 sts). [Note: the 4 dc make the bunnies’ feet]. Fasten off. Sew end in to finish.

Ear (make 2)

Chain 5. 1 sc in second chain from hook, 1 sc in next stitch,  1 hdc in next stitch, 7 hdc in next stitch [this will go around to the underside of the starting chain, making the tip of the ear]. 1 hdc in next stitch, 1 sc in next 2 stitches. Fasten off leaving 4” length for sewing.

Paw (make 2)

Chain 2. 1 sc, 1 hdc, 3 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc in second chain from hook [this will curl around making the tip of the paw]. Fasten off leaving 4” length for sewing.

Assembling the Bunny (refer to pictures for placement)

Sewing the Ears to the Head: Start by weaving the threaded needle through the base of the ear to “gather” it a bit. Sew the ear to the top, left side of the back of the head (between rows 1 and 2). Repeat for the right ear.

Sewing the Paws to the Body: As with the ears, start by weaving the threaded needle through the base of the paw to “gather” it a bit. Sew one paw to the left side of the body, between rows 6-7. Repeat for the right paw.

Making the Face and Tail

Start with the nose- with the peach yarn, sew an inverted triangle on row 4, at the middle front of the bunny.

For the eyes, knot off the white yarn and pull through from the inside of the bunny, in row three, just above and to the left of the nose. Make a French knot and push the needle back into the bunny, just above the nose. Repeat with the right eye. After the second French knot is completed, push the needle back into the bunny and then come up just underneath the nose. Stitch two teeth over row 5. Sew the remaining white yarn through the inside of the bunny towards the back. Pull the yarn out at the midside of the back, between rows 9 and 10. Make a French knot for the tail. Push the needle back in and make a knot on the inside to finish off.

Cover the white French knots with stitches with the black yarn to complete the eyes. If you would like whiskers, just before making the black stitches for the eyes, push the needle with the black yarn in at the side of the nose, then come up into the eye, leaving enough of the end of the yarn out to make the whisker. Stitch each eye then come out beside the other side of the nose. Trim yarn to desired length and separate apart the threads of the yarn to form the whiskers.
