Bunny Amigurumi Rattle

Materials:

• 2mm crochet hook 
• Light worsted (or DK) yarn in two colors of your preference (I used 100% acrylic for this pattern)
• Black yarn for the eyes. 
• Stuffing material
• Scissors
• Sewing needle.
• Rattle noise of your choice (here is what I use).
• Or, you can use safety eyes! The position is at the end of this post.

Finish size

The finished bunny crochet rattle measures approximately 6,6″ (17 cm) tall. However, the final size may vary depending on your stitch tension and the materials used.

Gauge

Gauge is not crucial for this pattern, so feel free to use a hook size that matches your chosen yarn. I always recommend using a slightly smaller hook to keep the stitches tight and prevent the stuffing from showing through. If needed, adjust your hook size for a neater finish.

However, if you’d like to know the gauge for my chosen yarn and materials, here it is:
With sport-weight yarn and a 2mm crochet hook, the gauge for 5 rounds (increasing to 30 stitches) measures approximately 1.6″ (4.5 cm).

ASSEMBLY

1. Use pins to position the ears so they look nice and symmetrical. The pins will also keep them from shifting while you sew.
2. Sew the ears between rounds 4 and 5 of the head, leaving a gap of about 3 stitches between them at the back.
3. Embroider the closed eyes between rounds 10 and 11, spacing them about 5 stitches apart. Each eye is 5 stitches long, starting in round 10, dipping into round 11 at the center, and finishing back in round 10 to create a soft half-circle shape.
4. Embroider the nose in the center of the head, two rows below the eyes.
