Striped Bunny Amigurumi with Faux-Fur Mane — Materials, Stitches & Safety

This cuddly striped bunny features a faux-fur mane, chunky scarf, and bright booties — great as a gift or display. Materials: DK–worsted weight acrylic or cotton yarn in three colors, a small amount of faux-fur yarn for the mane, 2.5–3.5 mm hook (use a size smaller than yarn label for tight fabric), polyester fiberfill, optional poly-pellets for a weighted base, safety eyes with washers (or embroidery thread), tapestry needle and stitch markers. Stitches & techniques: worked mostly in continuous rounds with single crochet (US), magic ring start, invisible decrease, increases, slip stitch, and simple color changes for stripes; surface or loop stitch techniques create texture for the mane.
