Kawaii Bunny Understanding the Basic Techniques

Throughout this pattern, you will use these essential amigurumi techniques:

  • Magic ring: The foundation for beginning most round pieces
  • Single crochet (sc): The primary stitch used throughout

  • Invisible decrease: A smoother reduction technique
  • Working in continuous spiral rounds without joining
  • Surface embroidery for facial details

Each round will end with the total stitch count in parentheses to help you track your progress and ensure accuracy in shaping.
