The Christmas Chubby Bunnies are here! Fully decked out in their best Christmas outfits, these crochet bunnies might just be my favorite thing yet! While this amigurumi collection is Christmas themed, there are a couple that are perfect winter ones, like the snowman and reindeer! Whether you celebrate Christmas or any other holiday, I hope you enjoy these crocheted Christmas chubby bunnies.
The base for the amigurumi Christmas chubby bunny is the same as the one that can be FOUND HERE. This post is only sharing the modifications needed to make each character. You will need to reference back to the original Chubby Bunny Crochet Pattern when crocheting each piece. Under each amigurumi character I have listed the specific materials needed to complete each design.
I hope you have fun making these Christmas bunnies this Holiday Season!
Let’s get crocheting!
