The pattern starts with the rabbit’s body, which is spiraled with single crochets. For those who are new to the crochet technique it may seem a little challenging, but with a little practice and patience it is possible to create an incredible piece.
The body is made with a magic ring and 6 single crochets. Then, it is necessary to make an increase in each basis point, totaling 12 points. Then you need to make 1 single crochet in each base stitch for a row. On the next row, make 1 single crochet in the first stitch and 2 single crochets in the second stitch, repeating this stitch until the end of the row, totaling 18 stitches.
To continue, it is necessary to work in alternating rows, increasing 1 stitch at the beginning of each odd row, until reaching 24 stitches in each row. After that you need to work in rows of 24 stitches until you have 3 full rows.
On the next row, make 1 single crochet in the first stitch and 2 single crochets together in the second and third stitch, repeating this stitch until the end of the row, totaling 18 stitches. To continue, work in rows of 18 stitches until you have 2 full rows.
On the next row, make 1 single crochet in the first stitch and 2 single crochets together in the second stitch, repeating this stitch until the end of the row, totaling 12 stitches. Then it is necessary to stuff the rabbit’s body with polyester fiber stuffing.
To finish the rabbit’s body, you need to make 2 single crochets together in each base stitch, totaling 6 stitches. Secure with a slip stitch and cut the thread.
