Valentine's Day Bunny with Heart · Free Crochet Pattern

May 3

Hi there! I'm back to sharing patterns with you, and today I bring you this super cute bunny that makes a lovely little gift for your loved ones, best friends, family, or anyone you want to surprise with a sweet handmade detail. I made mine for my baby! 💕

For this project, I used lightweight cotton yarn so the bunny turns out pocket-sized—perfect for a keychain too!

Materials

Lightweight mercerized cotton yarn in the colors of your choice (I used beige for the bunny and pink for the heart, plus a bit of brown to embroider the eyes)
3.00 mm crochet hook
Yarn needle
Hot glue
Scissors
Blush powder to add color to the ears and cheeks

Instructions

In this pattern, I will use the following abbreviations:

sc – single crochet
sl st – slip stitch
hdc – half double crochet
inc – increase: make two stitches in the same stitch
dec – decrease: crochet two stitches together

At the end of each row or round, you’ll see a number in parentheses. This indicates how many stitches you should have when you finish that row or round. For example, if it says (12), that means you should count 12 stitches at the end of that section.

Let’s start crocheting!
