Jessica Cooper The Marshmallow Bunny is so adorable and ultra plushy! You will want to make these for everyone in your family this Spring or sell at your local craft shows!
This Easter Bunny is made from Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn. I used Sparkle in the photos which comes in pastel colors. They can be found at your local Joann’s Store. One skein makes 2 bunnies.
If you are new to amigurumi, this marshmallow bunny is perfect for you. It is worked from the bottom up in one piece. No sewing at all! Basic single crochet stitches are used and worked in the round.

You may notice there is a hole between the ears, this will close when you shape the body.
Shaping the Body
Using 4 stitch markers mark between rows 14 & 15 and rows 20 & 21 on the front and the back of the bunny.
Shaping the head & body – Using a tapestry needle, take a strand of yarn about 24” long, weave in and out of the stitches between rows 14 & 15. Remove the stitch marker and pull the strand of yarn tight to cinch. Be careful not to pull too hard as blanket yarn will break. Knot and repeat to the back. Pull tight and knot again. Weave in the ends.
Shaping between head and ears – Repeat for rows 20 & 21.
