Materials Needed: Gather Your Meadow Essentials

Before we begin, let's make sure you have everything you need. This project is wonderfully portable and requires minimal supplies—perfect for crafting on the go or cozying up on the couch.

Yarn & Hook

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton or cotton-blend yarn in three colors:
  • Cream (main body) – approximately 100g
  • Blush Pink (inner ears & flowers) – approximately 30g
  • Sage Green (leaf accent) – approximately 20g
• Hook: 3.5mm (E) crochet hook

Additional Supplies

• Polyester fiberfill stuffing (or your preferred stuffing material)
• Yarn needle for sewing pieces together
• Black embroidery thread or small safety eyes (6mm recommended)
• Stitch markers (optional but helpful)
• Scissors

Gauge & Tension

Gauge: 4 sc x 4 rows = 1 inch. While gauge isn't critical for this project, maintaining consistent tension will ensure your bunny comes out evenly shaped and perfectly squishy. Don't stress about perfection—every handmade piece has its own beautiful character!

Step-by-Step Instructions: Crafting Your Meadow Mallow Bunny

Let's break down this pattern into manageable pieces. We'll work from the top down, starting with the head and finishing with the adorable floral accents. Remember to work in continuous rounds (spiral) unless otherwise noted, and use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds.

Part 1: The Head (Foundation of Your Bunny)

Your bunny's head is the heart of this project. Take your time here—this is where your bunny's personality begins to shine!

1. Round 1: Create a magic ring and work 6 single crochets (sc) into it. Pull tight to close. (6 stitches)
2. Round 2: Increase (inc) in each stitch around. This means working 2 sc into each stitch. (12 stitches)
3. Round 3: *Sc in the next stitch, inc in the next stitch* — repeat from * to * around. (18 stitches)
4. Round 4: *Sc in the next 2 stitches, inc in the next stitch* — repeat around. (24 stitches)
5. Round 5: *Sc in the next 3 stitches, inc in the next stitch* — repeat around. (30 stitches)
6. Rounds 6-10: Sc in each stitch around for 5 rounds. No increases—just smooth, even crocheting. (30 stitches each round)
7. Round 11: *Sc in the next 3 stitches, decrease (dec) in the next stitch* — repeat around. To decrease, insert hook into next stitch, yarn over and pull through, insert hook into following stitch, yarn over and pull through, then yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on hook. (24 stitches)
8. Round 12: *Sc in the next 2 stitches, dec in the next stitch* — repeat around. (18 stitches)
9. Round 13: *Sc in the next stitch, dec in the next stitch* — repeat around. (12 stitches)

Important: Before closing the head completely, stuff it firmly with fiberfill. You want a nice, round shape that holds its form. After stuffing, fasten off, leaving a long tail (about 12 inches) for sewing the head to the body later.

Part 2: The Ears (Make 2) – Floppy & Adorable

These long, floppy ears are what give the Meadow Mallow Bunny its signature charm. They're worked flat and left unstuffed for that perfect floppy look.

1. Round 1: Magic ring, 4 sc. (4 stitches)
2. Round 2: *Sc in the next stitch, inc in the next stitch* — repeat around. (6 stitches)
3. Round 3: *Sc in the next 2 stitches, inc in the next stitch* — repeat around. (8 stitches)
4. Rounds 4-6: Sc in each stitch around for 3 rounds. (8 stitches each round)
5. Round 7: *Sc in the next 2 stitches, dec in the next stitch* — repeat around. (6 stitches)

Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing. Do NOT stuff the ears. Instead, flatten them slightly and sew them to the top of the head, positioning them so they flop forward or to the sides as you prefer. For a cute detail, you can add a small blush pink oval to the inner ear using surface crochet or embroidery—simply stitch a small oval shape with the pink yarn.

Part 3: The Body – Squishy & Supportive

Your bunny's body needs to be sturdy enough to support the head while remaining delightfully squishy. Let's build that perfect pear shape!

1. Round 1: Magic ring, 6 sc. (6 stitches)
2. Round 2: Inc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)
3. Round 3: *Sc in the next stitch, inc in the next stitch* — repeat around. (18 stitches)
4. Round 4: *Sc in the next 2 stitches, inc in the next stitch* — repeat around. (24 stitches)
5. Rounds 5-8: Sc in each stitch around for 4 rounds. (24 stitches each round)
6. Round 9: *Sc in the next 2 stitches, dec in the next stitch* — repeat around. (18 stitches)
7. Round 10: *Sc in the next stitch, dec in the next stitch* — repeat around. (12 stitches)

Stuff the body firmly, shaping it as you go to create a nice, rounded bottom that tapers slightly at the top. Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Sew the body to the head, making sure the seam is hidden and the bunny sits upright comfortably.

Part 4: Arms (Make 2) – Tiny & Sweet

These little arms are perfect for hugging and add to the bunny's cuddly appeal.

1. Round 1: Magic ring, 5 sc. (5 stitches)
2. Round 2: *Sc in the next stitch, inc in the next stitch* — repeat around. (7 stitches)
3. Rounds 3-5: Sc in each stitch around for 3 rounds. (7 stitches each round)

Stuff lightly—just enough to give them shape without making them stiff. Fasten off, leaving a tail. Sew the arms to the sides of the body, positioning them slightly forward for a natural, relaxed look.

Part 5: Legs (Make 2) – Grounded & Cute

These sturdy little legs will help your bunny sit up nicely.

1. Round 1: Magic ring, 6 sc. (6 stitches)
2. Round 2: *Sc in the next 2 stitches, inc in the next stitch* — repeat around. (8 stitches)
3. Rounds 3-4: Sc in each stitch around for 2 rounds. (8 stitches each round)

Stuff lightly. Fasten off, leaving a tail. Sew the legs to the bottom front of the body, spacing them evenly so your bunny can sit upright with confidence.

Part 6: The Tail – Fluffy & Finished

Every bunny needs a proper tail! This one is worked in the round and attached to the back.

1. Round 1: Magic ring, 6 sc. (6 stitches)
2. Round 2: Inc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)
3. Round 3: Sc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)
4. Round 4: *Sc in the next stitch, dec in the next stitch* — repeat around. (8 stitches)

Stuff the tail lightly, fasten off, and sew it to the back of the body, centered and slightly lower than the arms. This gives your bunny that classic, adorable profile.

Part 7: Floral Accents (Make 3) – The Meadow Touch

Now for the finishing touches that make this bunny truly special! These delicate flowers bring the "meadow" to life.

With blush pink yarn:

1. Create a magic ring.
2. In the ring: *(ch 2, 3 double crochet (dc), ch 2, slip stitch (sl st)) — repeat from * 4 times total. This creates 4 petals.
3. Pull the ring tight to close the flower center.
4. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.

For the flower centers, use a small amount of yellow or gold yarn to embroider a few French knots or small stitches in the middle of each flower. Sew the flowers to one ear and the side of the body as desired—let your creativity guide you!

Part 8: Finishing Touches – Bringing Bunny to Life

This is where your Meadow Mallow Bunny truly comes alive!

1. Eyes: Using black embroidery thread or small safety eyes, create simple, gentle eyes. For embroidered eyes, make small horizontal stitches about 1 inch apart on the face, positioned at the level of Round 8-9 of the head. For safety eyes, insert them before closing the head (at Round 9) for the most secure placement.
2. Sage Green Leaf: Using surface crochet or simple embroidery, add a small leaf shape to one of the ears. To surface crochet, insert your hook through the ear fabric, pull up a loop of sage green yarn, and chain a few stitches in a leaf shape. Alternatively, embroider a simple leaf using straight stitches.
3. Weave in all ends: Take your time with this step—it makes your finished bunny look professional and polished. Use your yarn needle to hide all loose ends inside the pieces.
