How to Crochet A Gauge Swatch

Construction
The Wheat Stitch™ Bunny crochet pattern is thoughtfully designed for clean shaping and minimal finishing work.
Step 1: Make the Ears: The bunny begins with the ears. They’re worked first and set aside, ready to be joined as the body is constructed.
Step 2: Top-Down Body Construction: The body is worked in one piece from the top down, beginning with the head. As you crochet, the ears are attached, eyes are added (either safety eyes or embroidered eyes), and the nose it stitched. You will also start stuffing your bunny.
Step 3: Final Details: Once the body is complete, you will finish stuffing, add a tail, and finish with a bow (if desired).
And just like that, you’ve made bunny magic. Looking for more fun animal friends to make? Try the Wheat Stitch™ Chicken or any of the Hooked on the Sea Creatures, like the Wheat Stitch™ Turtle!
Special Stitches
Puff Stitch: Yarn over and insert your hook into the stitch/space; yarn over again and pull up a long loop; yarn over and insert your hook into the same stitch/space; yarn over again and pull up a long loop (5 loops on the hook); yarn over and pull through the first 4 loops; yarn over and pull through remaining loops.
Invisible sc2tog: Insert your hook into the front loop of the first st, and then insert into the front loop of the second st (3 loops on the hook). Yarn over and pull through both front loops (2 loops on the hook), yarn over and pull through the remaining loops on the hook.
Pattern Notes
- One of the great things about crocheting amigurumi is the freedom to experiment with any yarn you love — from fingering weight to bulky! Simply adjust your hook size to match your yarn choice, and have fun creating!
- Using a stitch marker at the beginning (or end) of the round is recommended.
- Warning: If you choose to add eyes, safety eyes are not suitable for children under three years old, as they can pose a choking hazard if they become detached. Adult supervision is recommended. Feel free to embroider the eyes.
- A ch 1 at the beginning of a row is not counted as a stitch.
- This Pattern Uses Standard US Terminology. I use affiliate links and follow GPSR Compliance: privacy & disclosure policy here.
