About This Lily Bunny Amigurumi Pattern

Lily Bunny is a delightful amigurumi project that combines classic bunny charm with fashionable flair.

Using sport-weight chenille yarn and a 5mm hook, this pattern creates a bunny that's both substantial and soft. The ruffled skirt adds a special touch of whimsy, worked directly into the body for a seamless, professional finish that makes Lily stand out from ordinary stuffed animals.

Why You'll Love This Lily Bunny Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines simplicity with elegance in the most delightful way. The chenille yarn creates such a luxurious, cloud-like texture that makes every stitch feel rewarding. What really captures my heart is the clever construction of the ruffled dress – it's worked directly into the body, which means no fiddly sewing of separate pieces! I also appreciate how the pattern balances detailed work (like the head sculpting and embroidered features) with straightforward rounds, making it engaging without being overwhelming. The finished bunny has such personality and presence, standing tall at 35cm, yet remains wonderfully huggable. Every time I make Lily, I'm reminded why amigurumi is such a magical craft – you're literally bringing a character to life, stitch by stitch.

Switch Things Up

I love how versatile this Lily Bunny pattern truly is! While the original design features a gorgeous purple ruffled dress, I often experiment with different color combinations to create unique personalities for each bunny. Try using pastel pink or soft blue for a springtime feel, or go bold with bright red or sunny yellow for a more vibrant look.

The chenille yarn is wonderful, but I've also made successful versions using cotton or acrylic sport weight yarn when I want a more traditional crochet texture. You can even add small accessories like a tiny bow between the ears or a miniature flower embroidered on the dress for extra charm.

For a seasonal twist, I sometimes swap the ruffled dress for a simple tunic by working fewer rounds in the contrasting color, or add festive elements like a small scarf for winter bunnies. The embroidered facial features are another area where you can get creative – try different eyebrow shapes or add rosy cheeks with a bit of pink thread for variety.

If you're making Lily as a gift for a baby, consider using safety eyes with a locking washer and ensuring all embroidered features are extra secure. I've also made smaller versions by using a thinner yarn with a 3mm hook, resulting in adorable palm-sized bunnies perfect for little hands to hold.

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the arms to the body two rounds below where the head begins, ensuring they are positioned symmetrically on each side
  • Fold each ear in half lengthwise and sew the bottom edges together to create a natural folded shape
  • Attach the ears to the top of the head with 4 stitches of space between them for proper positioning
  • Use brown embroidery thread to create eyebrows above the safety eyes and stitch the muzzle details on the face
  • Embroider a small pink nose in the center of the muzzle area using pink thread
  • Perform head sculpting using white thread to define the cheeks and create facial dimension
  • Weave in all yarn ends securely and trim excess thread for a professional finish

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers to track your rounds, especially when working the body and head sections where counting is crucial
  • 💡Stuff the neck area very firmly before beginning the head to prevent wobbling and ensure the bunny stands properly
  • 💡Only stuff 2/3 of each arm to maintain a soft, natural drape and poseable quality
  • 💡Insert safety eyes between rounds 8 and 9 of the head with exactly 8 stitches between them before stuffing completely
  • 💡When attaching the skirt, make sure to work in the front loops only of round 8 for a clean, ruffled appearance
  • 💡Take time with the embroidered facial features as they give Lily her unique personality and expression

FAQs

What size will my finished Lily Bunny be?

Using the recommended sport weight chenille yarn and a 5mm hook, your finished bunny will stand approximately 35 cm (about 14 inches) tall. The size may vary slightly depending on your tension and how firmly you stuff the toy.

Can I use regular yarn instead of chenille?

Yes, you can substitute regular sport weight yarn, but the finished texture will be different. Chenille creates a uniquely soft, plush feel that regular yarn won't replicate. If using regular yarn, your bunny will be slightly smaller and have a traditional crochet texture rather than the velvety chenille finish.

How do I work the ruffled skirt into the body?

After completing round 8 of the body in back loops only, you'll attach your yarn to the front loops of that same round. Turn the body upside down and work double crochets with increases to create the ruffled effect. This technique creates a seamless, professional-looking dress without separate pieces to sew.

What does 'head sculpting' mean in this pattern?

Head sculpting involves using thread to create indentations and definition in the face, typically to emphasize cheeks or create facial contours. You'll use white thread to make small stitches that pull the fabric slightly inward, giving Lily a more dimensional, expressive face.

Why should I only stuff 2/3 of the arms?

Partial stuffing keeps the arms soft and naturally poseable rather than stiff. This creates a more realistic, huggable quality and allows the arms to drape naturally at Lily's sides instead of sticking out awkwardly.
