Crochet Bunny lovey for baby

I’ve never attempted Amigrummi before. When I was in the US for my Sebattical back in June, I brought with me a couple balls of chenille yarn and thought they’d be perfect for making a little bunny. I started by free handedly making a little ball type shape that I filled with some stuffing.

Crochet Bunny toy - the start.

Then I proceeded to make a pair of ears. They had to be long and floppy and tapered at one end. Finally, I did a giant granny square with a shell type border and sewed them all together.

Finally, I added the eyes and mouth in white yarn to make some personality – I made it so that the little thing was sleeping.

Thus was the finished product- sitting on the bed…

And with her full floppy ears on display:

She ended up being gifted to a baby on the way – for one of my friends who I used to sit when she was but a few months old.
