Crochet Iris the Flower Bunny — Free Amigurumi Pattern & Step‑by‑Step Guide
Bring a bit of handmade whimsy to your home with Iris the Flower Bunny — a small amigurumi that combines a sweet bunny with a blooming flower. This pattern makes a soft, decorative toy about 12 cm (4.7 in) tall and is suitable for crocheters comfortable with basic amigurumi techniques (magic ring, single crochet, increases and decreases).
Materials: 3 mm crochet hook, 10 mm safety eyes, tapestry needle, light DK yarn (approx. 30 g main bunny color, 10 g green for the body, small amounts of a chosen flower color and a touch of pink for the nose). Stuffing and scissors are also needed.
Tips: Use safety eyes or embroider eyes for a child-safe toy; stuff firmly but not overstuffed for a neat finish; use the long yarn tails left on the flower to tie the blossom to the bunny securely.
