How often do you scroll through Pinterest? Let’s be honest. We crafters, sure do it a lot. Whether it’s for inspiration or for checking what we pinned months ago.

Well, a few months ago, I saw this washcloth bunny made from a square of fabric. How cool is it that you can make a bunny from a washcloth? I got inspired, although I forgot to pin it.

I knew when the time was right, I wanted to make a crochet bunny from a square. I mean, who could resist that cute little face, those adorable floppy ears, and that fluffy pom pom rabbit tail?

Now, that Easter is on its way, it’s the perfect time to publish this cutie. I mean, isn’t it so amazing that you can create animals from simple shapes like a square, rectangle or triangle?

I used Premier Yarns Anti-Pilling yarn for this crochet bunny from a square pattern, but you can use any yarn you wish. Really! Even a different weight of yarn will be fine.

In fact, you won’t need a special stitch for it either. It’s the perfect beginner project. You simply need to make a square – whether it’s crocheted or knitted, doesn’t even matter.

Gauge is another thing you just don’t need to worry about for this design – yay!

If you have made a washcloth bunny before, then you know that you can make them from all different sizes of squares. Today I’ll be showcasing two different ways to make a Crochet Bunny from a Square using different stitches sizes of square.

So let me now get started and tell you what you will need in order to crochet this amazing pattern.

Written Instructions for Crochet Bunny Made From A Square

First, make a square (I made mine 12×12 inches for the pink bunny and 6×6 inches for the grey bunny). I used a Tunisian knit stitch for the bunny made with pink yarn and a single crochet stitch for the grey bunny which you see in the video tutorial.

These stitches are good options because they create a solid fabric. Other techniques like double crochet or granny square will let the stuffing show through. Although, you could use a Solid Granny Square!

Now it’s time to transform your square into a bunny rabbit! Watch the video if you need extra help on any of the steps. If you want to practice with something before you use the crochet square you worked so hard on, then you can start by making a washcloth bunny instead.

Step 1

First, you will weave a piece of yarn through the one half of the square that is in the shape of a triangle.

Step 2

Next, you’ll pull the yarn to crunch it up (add the poly-fill for the head and add the plastic eyes and nose if you chose them). Now fasten off tightly.

Step 3

Next, add poly-fill for the body and sew it up towards the bottom. Finally, weave the yarn through the edge of the bottom like you would for a hat and close it up.

Step 4

When you’re finished, adjust the ears of the bunny (you might need to sew it a bit together like a shown in the video). If you did not choose the plastic eyes and nose, embroider them on at this stage.

Step 5

To complete the bunny, add a pom-pom right above where you closed the bottom part. Now you’re done.

This bunny is truly so cute and snuggly. I created a big bunny as well as a little bunny. In fact, I made the little bunny in about 30 minutes, which includes crocheting the square for the bunny.

See what Angela, from my crochet group, said:

“…Just today alone, I was speaking to a friend and mentioned this group to her because she’s having a hard time emotionally. I told her she needed to join so she can learn some cool crochet techniques and keep herself busy.

You’re my first “go-to” group. Not only do you have some amazing ideas… But it’s you as a person that I can relate to. You’re kind, generous, and probably take things to heart more than you should (I do that too lol)… But you’re awesome! …”
