This bunny is a little lady in her sweet dress. The spherical crochet technique for the amigurumi makes the design look seamless and nearly machine-made. Suggestion: Try using a smaller crochet hook when decreasing the stitches to help her keep her stuffing.
This amigurumi bunny is a perfect gift for a child or the child at heart. From the book, MR. FUNKY'S SUPER CROCHET WONDERFUL. Courtesy of North Light Books.
