Today, I’m excited to share with you the Big Floppy Ears Bunny amigurumi pattern, featuring a charming white-nosed bunny with unique, wide, thin ears. One distinctive feature of this toy is that the ears are not stuffed, giving the bunny a soft, floppy look. Due to its larger size, this bunny takes time to complete, but the end result will be worth every stitch. Please note that the cardigan shown in the photo is not included in the pattern, but the free amigurumi pattern is available for download!
Big Floppy Ears Bunny Crochet Pattern
Although bunny amigurumi toys have become less trendy recently, they remain a popular choice for beginners. This pattern uses a combination of brown and white yarn, so it’s important to ensure your loops are symmetrical. To achieve a firm finish, make sure to stuff the toy tightly as you go.
