Cute Amigurumi Easter Bunny

I saw this tutorial on Craft to make a crochet amigurumi style bunny. It inspired me to finally try one out. I have a Japanese book on amigurumi, and have tried a few free tutes before, but just never got it.

I sat down on Saturday night, and started it in a cream cotton I had in my stash. It kept splitting and I got through the head before realising I wouldn't have enough for  the whole toy. So I dug through my stash and found some old brown yarn (not sure what brand, I bought it in Japan, I know it's 100% wool, but that's all), and finished it on Sunday.

I think it looks really cute, I'm sending it off to The Boy's sister for her birthday/ Easter.

If you look closely, you can see the ears are slightly different, I must have missed a row somewhere, but I think it adds to its "homemade" appeal!

That is terribly cute! Adorable little amigurumi like that are partly what inspired me to take up crochet myself.

He's super cute! And i can't tell at all this his ears aren't the same.

p.s. thanks for your comment on my vegetarian post! People had such great ideas. My husband is happy to only eat meat once or twice a week, so we should be able to get away with mostly eating the same things. We'll see how it goes! xx
