Who is excited about spring to come? I know I am whipping up this cute Fluffy Bunny Crochet Pillow. Even living in Florida I cannot get enough spring-like days. I love watching the new flowers bloom and plot the many herbs I will plant…and likely kill lol.

So a green thumb does not describe me, yet. I hope to one day really hone in my gardening skills and be able to produce fresh vegetables and herbs.
The Fluffy Bunny Pillow Cover is a great home decor addition for spring, but really could be used all year round. I think it would be really cute in a baby nursery or kid bedroom too.
I hope you really enjoy not only working up this pattern but adding beautiful hand made decor to your home. I love being able to bring you awesome crochet content, will you please help keep this possible?
Pinning this post, sharing with friends, and favoriting on Ravelry is a great way to say thanks.

Fluffy Bunny Crochet Pillow Notes:
*Please note, matching gauge both horizontal and vertical can be difficult. Extra rows can be added at the top if needed so it is more important to match the stitch gauge versus the row gauge. This pattern also has some ease to fit over a pillow.*
This pattern is worked in rows and in two pieces. The front panel will also work a button hole flap to secure the top of the crochet pillow. The front and the back panels will be slip stitched together once completed.
After the end of each row turn and ch 1. The ch 1 does not count as a stitch.
Since there is a wrong side and a right side to the pillow panels, I used a combination of intarsia and carrying yarn across the back for the color work. Experiment and see what works best for you.
There is a free tutorial on how to make the Faux Fur Pompom that can be found HERE.

To Finish Front Panel:

-Continue to sc Rows 80-86 in grey.
-Button Row 87: ch 1, sc 2, *ch 3, skip 3, sc 13: repeat from * until last 3 stitches, sc in last 3, turn
-Continue to sc Rows 88-91 in white.
-Fasten off and weave in ends.
Fluffy Bunny Crochet Pillow Back Panel:
-With brown, chain 73 and start the first row in the second chain from hook.
-Single crochet a total of 72 rows to create the back panel.
-Fasten off and weave in ends.
Attaching Fluffy Bunny Crochet Pillow Panels Together:
Place the front and back panels together with the wrong sides facing. Using either green or white yarn, slip stitch from the top of one side of the pillow (where the panels meet, not over the flap), around the bottom, and up the other side. I found by slip stitching with a tight tension really makes some crisp edges, but you do not want to pucker. Fasten off and weave in ends. Flip pillow so the right side is facing out and the seams are on the inside.
Attaching Buttons:
With the back panel facing, fold front panel down over the top of the back panel and with stitch markers mark the row where each button will be placed. Using a yarn needle and green yarn, sew each button in place.
Create a Faux Fur Pompom to attach for the fluffy bunny tail! Use the 4 or 5 inch template and instructions found HERE.
Place a 18×18 pillow inside the cover and enjoy!

Such a cute design! I might make one for my home!
Thank you for the lovely pattern
I'm left handed should I be going in the opposite direction because the bunny is not coming out correctly???
Your bunny will be mirrored when doing it left hand but it will still be pretty 🙂
