Crochet Easter bunnies

Crochet pattern for a cute DIY bunny
Easter is just around the corner again. We've been looking for a really cute bunny for you. We came across Miko's bunny on YouTube. In her video, she explains clearly how you can make a DIY crochet bunny yourself, step by step. Crocheting Easter bunnies made easy.

The Amigurumi technique
Amigurumi is Japanese (編み包み) and is made up of amu (編む) knitting and kurumu (包む) wrapping, packing. It refers to the knitting or crocheting technique originating from Japan, which is used to make animal dolls or other objects. Amigurumis are usually reminiscent of manga characters. The cute dolls are not only very decorative, they can also be used for playing and cuddling or as a lucky charm.

The Amigurumi figures are mainly made of yarn. They usually consist of different components. The body is filled with materials such as felt, foam, cork, cotton wool, etc. to create a three-dimensional appearance. So you can see that Easter bunnies are wonderful to crochet.
