Special Stitch Instructions
- Magic Ring (MR): Create a loop, insert the hook, pull up a loop, and crochet the required stitches into the ring before pulling it tight.

Finished Size
The completed Bunny Bouquet (including the rabbit and the floral arrangement) measures approximately 6-7 inches, depending on yarn and hook size.
The Pattern
1. Bunny Ears (Make 2)
- Round 1: Start with a MR and make 4 SC.
- Round 2: INC in each stitch (8 SC).
- Rounds 3-4: 1 SC in each stitch (8 SC per round).
- Round 5: Make 4 DEC (4 SC).
- Finish off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Make the second ear the same way.
For users: This small piece shapes the bunny's ears. If you're unfamiliar with decreases, take your time to shape them evenly.
2. Bunny Head
- Round 1: Start with a MR and make 6 SC.
- Round 2: INC in each stitch (12 SC).
- Round 3: 1 SC, INC repeat around (18 SC).
- Round 4: 2 SC, INC repeat around (24 SC).
- Round 5: 3 SC, INC repeat around (30 SC).
- Rounds 6-10: Work straight 1 SC in each stitch (30 SC per round).

- Round 11: 3 SC, DEC repeat around (24 SC).
- Round 12: 2 SC, DEC repeat around (18 SC).
- Round 13: Using the back loops only, 1 SC, DEC repeat around (12 SC).
- Round 14: Make 6 DEC to close (6 SC).
- Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing, and finish the opening by threading through the front loops of the remaining stitches. Stuff the head firmly before closing.
For users: The head is shaped with increases and decreases to form a rounded ball. Add the safety eyes and fill the head with soft stuffing to give it shape.
3. Bunny Nose
Using black embroidery thread, embroider a small triangular nose on Round 8 of the bunny's head.
For users: Adding finishing touches like the nose gives the bunny its personality! You can also embroider a smile if you'd like.

- Round 1: Start with a MR and make 6 SC.
- Round 2: INC in each stitch (12 SC).
- Round 3: 1 SC, INC repeat around (18 SC).
- Round 4: 2 SC, INC repeat around (24 SC).
- Continue working rounds as you did for the bunny head (repeating rounds of SC with symmetrical increases and decreases) to create the body. Stop at Round 20, leaving space for the bouquet base and stitching to the head.
For users: Follow a familiar sequence of increases and decreases to shape the body and make sure to keep your tension consistent.
5. Flower Petals (Make 8)
- Round 1: Start with a MR. Work 2 ch, 1 DC, 2 ch, Sl St in the same ring to form one petal. Repeat this 5 times for 5 petals.
- Tighten the magic ring and weave in the ends. Add a tiny pearl as the flower's center with glue or thread.
For users: Crochet all your flowers in batches using two complementary colors for variety. Attach the pearls for an elegant touch!
6. Forming the Bouquet
Arrange your crocheted flowers on the bouquet base. Use pins to position them evenly around the bouquet. Once satisfied, glue or sew them in place.
For users: Play around with the flower placement and color combinations to make your bouquet unique! Now you're ready to finish assembling.
7. Assembly & Finishing
- Sew the bunny's ears onto the head (between Rounds 1 and 3). Add stitches to create the flopped ear effect if desired.
- Attach the bunny's head to the bouquet's top by sewing carefully between the fourth round of the bouquet base and the bunny's neck. Ensure the bunny faces the direction of the bouquet's top bow.
- Crochet a bow (25 chains, follow video instructions above for double crochets and half-double crochets, repeat on both sides of chains).
- Use the bow as a decorative embellishment-wrap the middle with yarn and attach securely to the bouquet.
- Finally, apply a little blush to the bunny's cheeks and inner ears for a pop of detail.
Tips for Success
- Attention to details: Small embellishments like blush and pearls are what bring this project to life!
- Proper stuffing: Use small amounts of stuffing at a time to avoid lumps.
- Mix and match yarn colors: Play with different floral shades to personalize your bouquet.
