Step-by-Step Construction Guide

1. Legs and Arms

• Legs: Worked in a spiral starting from an amigurumi ring, stuffed firmly at the foot and moderately up the leg before being folded in half and closed with single crochets.
• Arms: Crafted similarly with a denser fist shape, filled slightly more than halfway up, and flattened at the top for easy integration into the body.

2. Head-Body Construction

• Work starts from the top of the head in a spiral, expanding outward through increasing rounds before moving downward.
• Safety eyes are installed and secured on the reverse side by melting the plastic post with a lighter and flattening it with tweezers.
• The body continues downward, seamlessly incorporating the arms and legs at designated rows.

3. Face Sculpting and Nose Embroidery

• Detailed face-tightening techniques use multiple reference points to pull the fabric and create the bunny’s signature expressive cheeks and eye sockets.
• The nose is embroidered using designated yarn shades over the center rows between the eyes.
• Final adjustments to the stuffing are made around the cheeks and lower head to achieve the ideal facial profile.

4. The Ruffle Jumpsuit

• Worked separately using hook No. 2.5, starting with turning rows that transition into circular rounds.
• Features integrated button loops, a delicate frill detail across the bodice, and trouser legs finished with triple increases at the cuffs.

5. Ears and Bow

• Ears: Choose between long or shorter ear instructions, shaped and securely sewn near the top of the head.
• Bow: Constructed from a rectangular strip worked in slip stitches behind the back loops, wrapped tightly in the center to create volume, and attached to complete the outfit.
