Detailed Instructions
Body (Make 1)
| Row # | Instructions | Stitches |
| Row 1 | 4-sc MC | 4 |
| Row 2 | 3-sc inc × 4 | 12 |
| Row 3 | sc, 3-sc inc, [sc × 2, 3-sc inc] × 3, sc | 20 |
| Row 4 | sc × 2, 3-sc inc, [sc × 4, 3-sc inc] × 3, sc × 2 | 28 |
| Row 5 | sc × 3, 3-sc inc, [sc × 6, 3-sc inc] × 3, sc × 3 | 36 |
| Row 6 | sc × 4, 3-sc inc, [sc × 8, 3-sc inc] × 3, sc × 4 | 44 |
| Row 7 | sc × 5, sc2tog, [sc × 9, sc2tog] × 3, sc × 4 | 40 |
| R8-13 | sc × 40 | 40 |
| R14 | sc × 4, sc3tog, [sc × 7, sc3tog] × 3, sc × 3 | 32 |
| R15 | sc × 3, sc3tog, [sc × 5, sc3tog] × 3, sc × 2 | 24 |
At this point, stuff the body firmly. Proper stuffing gives your bunny its cube shape and ensures it sits properly.
Eye and Nose Placement:
- Position the nose between R11 and R12 (you may need to place it one row higher depending on how firmly you stuffed the body)
- For large eyes (larger than 15mm): Place at the same level as the nose (between R11 and R12)
- For smaller eyes: Place one row above the nose (between R10 and R11)
- Eyes look best when positioned approximately 2-3 stitches away from the nose on each side
Once you’re happy with the placement, secure the safety eyes and nose firmly.
| Row # | Instructions | Stitches |
| R16 | sc × 2, sc3tog, [sc × 3, sc3tog] × 3, sc | 16 |
| R17 | [sc, sc3tog] × 4 | 8 |
Finish off, leaving a long tail. Use this tail to sew the opening closed with a few neat stitches.
Legs (Make 4)
Finish off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Do not stuff the legs—they should remain flat.
Ears (Make 2)
Finish off, leaving a long tail. Do not stuff the ears. Sew the end of each ear together to create a flat, closed shape as shown in the reference photos.
Tail (Make 1)
Finish off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Lightly stuff the tail to give it a round, fluffy appearance.
Carrot (Make 1)
At this point, stuff the carrot body. You may need a narrow tool like a pencil or crochet hook to push the stuffing into the narrow space.
Changing to Green Yarn:
- Use orange yarn to do the first yarn over in the next sc
- Use green yarn to do the last yarn over
- Draw through both loops on hook to complete the stitch
- Continue with green yarn for remaining stitches
Do one more sc after the last stitch, then finish off. Use a sewing needle to hide the remaining tail inside the carrot.
Assembly Instructions
Now comes the fun part—bringing your cube bunny to life! Using a sewing needle and the long tails you left on each piece:
- Attach the legs: Position the unstuffed legs at the bottom of the bunny body. I recommend using pins to test the placement before sewing. Typically, the legs look best when placed at the corners of the “cube” for stability.
- Add the ears: Sew the ears to each side of the head, positioning them closer to the front than the back. For proper placement, I attach one end around R4 and the other end around R6. This gives the bunny its characteristic upright ear position.
- Attach the tail: Sew the stuffed tail at the back and bottom of the body (around R15). The tail should be centered and add a cute round accent to your bunny’s backside.
- Include the carrot: While optional, the carrot makes a perfect accessory for your bunny. You can either sew it permanently to one of the paws or leave it separate for more versatile play.
Creative Variations
Don’t be afraid to personalize your bunny! Here are some ideas to make your creation unique:
- Color choices: Traditional bunny colors include white, gray, and brown, but pastels work beautifully for Easter-themed bunnies
- Facial expressions: Experiment with different eye placements for varied expressions—closer together for a sweeter look, further apart for a more surprised appearance
- Yarn textures: Fuzzy yarns create an extra-cuddly finish, while cotton yarns offer crisp stitch definition
- Accessories: Add a tiny bow tie, flower crown, or even miniature clothes for a dressed-up bunny
Tips for Success
- Tension matters: Keep your tension consistent for the best cube shape
- Stuff firmly: Proper stuffing is essential for achieving and maintaining the cube shape
- Count carefully: The increases and decreases create the geometric shape, so accurate stitch counting is important
- Pin before sewing: Always test the placement of ears, legs, and tail with pins before committing with your needle
- Safety first: If making this for small children, ensure all parts are securely attached, and consider embroidering the eyes instead of using safety eyes
