April showers have brought May flowers, along with a couple bugs and a gnome! Our next collection of crocheted Chubby Bunnies are here and they are ready to spend their time out in the garden. This warmer weather we’re having was my inspiration behind this new set of Spring garden bunnies and to say I’m smitten would be an understatement. We have everything from a bumblebee and ladybug, to a pot of pastel colored flowers and a gnome keeping watch over the garden.
With Mother’s Day right around the corner, this set, especially the pot of flowers, would be the perfect gift! You could easily change up the colors of the flowers to match her favorite flowers. And what’s even better, these flowers won’t wilt so she can enjoy them all year long!
The base for the Spring garden bunnies 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 character I have listed the specific materials needed to complete each Spring garden bunny design.
I hope you enjoy crocheting these amigurumi spring garden bunnies!
I hope you have fun making these Spring Bunnies!
Let’s get crocheting!

Flower Pot Bunny
- Yarn- I used Michaels Loops & Threads Impeccable in the colors Fern, Blue Haze, and Soft Rose, Michaels Craftsmart in the color Toasted Almond, Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in the colors Mustard and Rust, Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn in the colors Light Peach, Pink, Orchid, and Menthe, Joann Big Twist in the color Pale Yellow
- Size E/3.5mm Crochet Hook
- 1 pair of black 9mm safety eyes
- Optional- Hot glue gun
- Plus all other materials listed in the original pattern
Ears- Follow the pattern and make 2 ears in Fern.
Arms and Legs- Follow the pattern and make all 4 in Rust.
Tail- Follow the pattern and make the tail in Rust.
Body
Follow rounds 1-9 of the original pattern, using toasted almond. Change to rust yarn, fastening off the toasted almond yarn.
R10: In BLO, Sc 42. (Mark the last FLO with a stitch marker- we’ll use this later when making the rim)
Follow rounds 11-24 of the original pattern to complete the body.
Add safety eyes between rounds 12 and 13, 6 stitches apart.
To make the rim:
R10A: With rust yarn, make a slip knot onto your hook. With the body held upright, insert your hook into the last FLO of R10, yarn over and make your first single crochet. Then in the remaining FLO of R10, sc around. (42 sts)
R10B: Ch 1, then in the BLO, Hdc around. (42 sts)
Make a clean fasten off (see pattern notes) to make the rim of the pot even and clean. If there is a little gap in between, simply use the tail to sew it closed. Weave in all ends.
Ears- Sew the ears between rounds 3+8.
Arms- Sew the arms between rounds 13+14.
Assemble legs and tail as pattern states.
Flower Stems
Large- Make 1
Using fern yarn,
R1: 5 sc in magic ring. (5 sts)
R2-11: Sc 5. Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing. Leave stem unstuffed.
Medium- Make 5
Using fern yarn,
R1: 5 sc in magic ring. (5 sts)
R2-9: Sc 5.
Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing. Leave stems unstuffed.
I found it easier to sew the stems onto the body first, then attach the flowers afterwards.
To assemble the stems to the body- Take the 1 large stem and place it on top of the magic ring. Place 2 stems in front of the one we just attached, near rounds 3-5. Place the remaining 3 stems behind the center stem, near rounds 3-5. Using the yarn needle and leftover yarn tail, sew the stems to the body. Secure all the ends with a knot and hide inside the body.

Use a variety of colors or make them all in one color. Use mustard yarn for the centers.
Using mustard yarn,
R1: 6 sc in magic ring. On the last sc, change to flower color. (6 sts)
R2: *Sc 1, ch 4, then starting in the 2nd ch from hook, dc, hdc, sc, then sl st into the first sc (the one made before making the 4 chs) to complete the petal* Repeat 6 times.
Fasten off and weave in all the ends.
Using hot glue, glue the center of the flowers to the stems, on top of the magic ring.

Antenna- Make 2
Using black yarn,
R1: 5 sc in magic ring. (5 sts)
R2: Inc in each st around. (10 sts)
R3: Inv dec around 5 times. (5 sts)
R4-6: Sc 5.
Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing. Leave antennas unstuffed.
Pin the antennas between rounds 3-5. With the yarn needle, sew into place. Secure the ends with a knot and hide inside the body.
Wings- Make 4
Using white yarn,

Fasten off, weaving in the ends on two pieces. Leave a long tail on the other two pieces for sewing. Make sure to do the clean fasten off method (see pattern notes) for a clean finish on the wings.
To make the wings- Take one piece with the ends woven in and one piece with a long tail. Place the “wrong sides” facing each other. Then with the yarn tail and yarn needle, sew the two pieces together.
Weave the needle under the “V” of the stitches from R5 on both pieces. You’ll insert the needle under the stitch, then go to the second piece and weave under the stitch. Then move over to the next “V” and weave under, coming back to the first piece. When coming back to the first piece, you’ll weave the needle under the same stitch we started with. Then you’ll move over to the next stitch and weave under to go to the second piece, going under the previous stitch.
You’ll go back and forth like this until you reach the end. Do this on both wings. Do not secure the yarn tail as we’ll use this to sew the wings onto the body.
Once the piece is fully sewn together, pin into place on the back of the body near rounds 10-15, about 5 stitches apart. With the same yarn tail, sew the wings to the body.
Secure the end with a knot and hide inside the body.

Using either a strand of white yarn, or hot glue, sew or glue the beard to the body at round 13, right below the safety eyes. Only sew the longest part of the beard into place, leaving the pointier part to hang.
