Hi everyone! Here's the written pattern for rounds 1-12 of my heart cushion cover.

how to crochet a cute bunny | free pattern + video tutorial

Hi everyone! This is the written pattern for my YouTube tutorial . Please refer to the video for demonstrations if you're confused. This is a very repetitive pattern, so follow the same steps shown to crochet all the rounds. Once you're done, you can add some ribbons & bows to make your bunny look even cuter - happy crocheting! Note:  all the pieces are worked in continuous rounds, so don't forget to place a stitch marker in the first stitch of every round and track your rounds.  To make crocheting this bunny (and other amigurumi projects!) easier, I recommend downloading the  Row Counter app . I love using the counter to keep track of my rounds and the highlighter to easily find the steps I'm working on. You can import this pattern to the app and start crocheting!
