Easy Crochet Bunny Pattern FREE

Free Crochet Pattern to Crochet an Easy Bunny with Long Ears. Easter Crochet Inspiration! 

long eared bunny crochet pattern free

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. 


If giving to a really small child I would SEW on their eyes, but for the purpose of these rabbits going to over 3, I used safety eyes. 

I originally made the Crochet Bunny for my friend's little girls to put in their Easter Basket Treat crochet bag along with their little chocolate eggs.

I have tried to keep the Easter bunny crochet pattern as easy as I can, this makes the bunny crochet pattern fantastic for beginners at crochet to try. 


NOTE: I have a fantastic bunny crochet pattern which is so easy to make a bunny from a square. 

The kids love these wee bunny rabbits, and you can make so many bunnies as they are quick to crochet. 

YOu can use up your yarn stash to make them.

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.
