Free Crochet Pattern to Crochet an Easy Bunny with Long Ears. Easter Crochet Inspiration!
I have written the pattern in easy-to-understand amigurumi-style terminology helping you to crochet a rabbit with long floppy EARS.
You will crochet the arms and ears FIRST, and we will join these to the rabbit as you work.
This also makes these crochet bunnies, robust and SAFE for little hands as they do not have sewn-on limbs that could become loose over time.
You can view my helpful tutorial on HOW to join the limbs as you go here.

The how to crochet a bunny rabbit is beginner-friendly so PLEASE read through the whole pattern, as you will need to move the stitch markers at different points in the pattern.
At times, you will be asked to move the marker, this is because we are working on the crochet amigurumi bunny rabbit in the round and sometimes the shift of the stitches help to re-align the bunny as we make it.
