Ears (Make 2)
Work in rows. Ch1 at beginning of row does not count as stitch.
Row 1 Ch4, sc in 2nd ch from hook and next 2 ch, turn (3)
Row 2-3 Ch1, sc across, turn (3)
Row 4 Ch1, 2sc in 1st st, sc in next st, 2sc in last st, turn (5)

Row 25 Ch1, sc2tog, sc across till last 2sts, sc2tog (7)
Row 26 – 27 Repeat Row 25 till you are left with three sc across.
Fasten off – Leave enough yarn to attach ears to the rabbit’s head.
Using CC1 work a border around ears in either crab stitch or single chain. Steam press ears to flatten.
Using long tail threads, sew the ears to head.
Hat
Work in rounds. Replace the first dc of each round with a beginning chainless dc (preferred method), or a ch3.
Join each round with ss to top of beginning dc/ch3.
Rnd 1 Using CC1 – Work 10 dc in Magic Circle
Rnd 2 2dc in each st around (20)
Rnd 3 (dc, 2dc in next st) around (30)
Rnd 4 (dc in 2 sts, 2dc in next st) (40)
Rnd 5-7 dc in each st around (40)
Fasten off and weave in ends.
Scarf
Work in rows.
Ch1 at beginning of row does not count as stitch.
Row 1 Ch3, sc in 2nd ch from hook and next ch, turn
Row 2-48 Ch1, sc in 1st, sc in next st, turn (2)
Fasten off and weave in ends
Finishing
Cut out the rabbit’s nose from pink felt, and sew or hot glue to attach to the rabbit’s face. Use black thread to embroider the mouth and whisker details, as desired. To create freckles, I used the french knot method.
Make a pom-pom for the tail and attach to the rabbit’s bottom. You can use a pom-pom maker or simply follow this fantastic tutorial. It shows you how to make pom-poms with either a fork or two rolls of toilet paper. I find the fork tutorial creates the ideal size pom-pom for the Amigurumi rabbit.
