Summer is in full swing around here and with that comes the joy of eating all the fresh fruit that’s finally in season. I was recently working on a cross-stitch project with bright red strawberries and just knew I had to create a strawberry chubby bunny!
Now, I thought I wouldn’t make another chubby bunny after completing all 48 designs for the seasonal set last year, but boy was I wrong! I knew we needed some Fruity Bunnies this summer. Of course the other fruit bunnies in the series requested more friends and how could I say no!
Pineapple Bunny from Summer Set
Watermelon Bunny from 4th of July Set
Apple from Back to School Set
These new crochet fruit chubby bunnies are SUPER simple and only require just a few modifications. Because of that, this post contains only the modifications I did to create each amigurumi fruit bunny, and does not include the fully written pattern. You’ll need to reference the original free chubby bunny pattern found here. Under each design I have listed the specific materials needed to complete it.
I hope you enjoy crocheting these fruit bunnies this summer!

Strawberry Bunny
Material List:
- Yarn- I used Michaels Soft Classic in the color Bright Red, Premier Basix Worsted in the color Pink, Michaels Loops & Threads Impeccable in the color Butterscotch, Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in the color Kelly Green.
- Size E/3.5mm Crochet Hook
- 1 pair of black 9mm safety eyes
- Plus all other materials listed in the original pattern
Follow the entire pattern exactly as stated, making all the pieces in Bright Red.
The only modification was the placement of the eyes. I positioned mine between rounds 11&12, 6 stitches apart.
Add “seeds” all over each piece using Butterscotch yarn.
Ears- Sew the ears between rounds 4-8. Spacing them further apart like this makes room for the green top.
Green Top
Using kelly green yarn,
R1: 6 sc in magic ring. (6 sts)
R2: *Inc, ch 3 then starting in the 2nd ch from hook, sc in the next 2 ch spaces* repeat 6 times. When starting the next repeat, you’ll increase into the next stitch on the magic ring, just as if you were increasing all the way around. Sl st into the 1st sc of the magic ring.
Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing. Alternatively, you can weave in all the ends and apply hot glue to secure the green top in place on the bunny.

If you’ve never brushed a crocheted piece before, check out the video tutorial below.
With the pet slicker brush, brush only the toasted almond section of the kiwi body. Don’t go overboard on this! You just want a little bit of fuzz. Make sure to do this on the feet and tail as well.
