Newborn Bunny Hat Crochet Pattern

Category: Baby / Crochet / Hats + Headbands / Holiday Themed / Patterns

Something I’ve wanted for a very long time is an adorable little bunny to call my own!
Sure, I could probably crochet one, but nothing can really compare to stroking and cuddling a teeny ball of warm fluff.
This might seem a little premature to some, but being the planner that I am, I’ve already decided on the name of my future bunny wabbit… Snow White! Too much? Yeah, maybe.
So due to my current infatuation, you can fully understand why it would only seem appropriate to create a pattern for a newborn bunny hat, and just in time for Easter!
Do you own a bunny? What’s his or her name? Let me know in the comments!

60g Super Bulky Yarn {14ply}

~ Hat ~

Round 1~ Taking your 10.00mm crochet hook and super bulky yarn, start of by making a Slip Knot, then crochet 3 Chains. Crochet 1 Half Double Crochet into the first chain you made. Chain 2 {Note: You’re busy creating the holes for the bunny ears.} Crochet 3 Half Double Crochets into the last chain from hook, Chain 2. Then crochet 1 Half Double Crochet into the last chain from hook. Slip Stitch into the top of chain 3. You should have 8 half double crochets now.

Round 2~ Chain 2, then crochet a Half Double Crochet into the same stitch. Crochet 2 Half Double Crochets into every stitch all around. {Note: In Chain 2 space you made in round 1, only crochet 2 Half Double Crochets, not 4.} Slip Stitch into the top of chain 2. You should have 16 half double crochets now. 
Round 3~ Chain 2, then crochet a Half Double Crochet into the same stitch. *Crochet 1 Half Double Crochet into the next 2 stitches. Then crochet 2 Half Double Crochets in the next stitch.  Repeat from the * all around. Slip Stitch into the top of chain 2. You should have 22 half double crochets now. 
Round 4 – 8~ Chain 2. Crochet 1 Half Double Crochet into every stitch all around. Slip Stitch into the top of chain 2. 

Round 9~ Chain 1. Crochet 1 Single Crochet into every stitch all around. Slip Stitch into chain 1. Fasten off, and weave in loose ends.
Then, taking some 8ply yarn and your tapestry needle, sew a little bunny nose in the middle of your hat.

~ Bunny Ears ~

Taking your 10.00mm crochet hook and super bulky yarn, start of by making a Slip Knot, then crochet 17 Chains. Crochet 1 Single Crochet into the second chain from your hook. Crochet 1 Double Crochet into the next 3 stitches. Crochet 1 Triple Crochet into the next 8 stitches. Crochet 1 Double Crochet into the next 3 stitches. Crochet 1 Single Crochet into the following stitch, Chain 2, then crochet 1 Single Crochet into the same stitch.
{Note: The extra 2 chains and SC will turn your work around, and upside down.
Now you’re going to continue crocheting into the bottom of the row of
chains.}

Crochet 1 Double Crochet into the next 3 stitches. In the next 8 stitches, crochet 4 Triple Crochet Decreases. Crochet 1 Double Crochet into the next 3 stitches. Crochet 1 Single Crochet into the following stitch, then Chain 2. Slip Stitch into chain 1.
Fasten off, and weave in loose ends.
{Note: You’ve just created the bunny ear strip. You only need to make one, as it counts for 2 ears as I explain later on.}

Once you’ve finished crocheting the ears, take a sewing needle and piece of fabric and line the inside of the ears. Make sure to leave a border of crochet approximately 0.4 inches {1cm} wide all around.
Once you’ve lined the ears, weave it through the two holes at the crown of the hat you created in “Round 1“. This will create two small bunny ears, from the one large ear strip.

Hope you all enjoyed this adorable newborn Easter pattern!

If you did crochet this, please post a photo of your creation onto my Facebook Page.
I’d love to see it!
 Have a lovely day crocheting,

  3. I love this! I will make this for my baby bunny Daphnée 🙂 but will have to modify as she is not really a baby anymore (so I heard… i still dont believe it): she is 21 months old. Lovely pattern!

  5. I have many bunnies and love them all! My favourite bunny was a Chocolate Polish named Cote Dor but unfortunately she passed away a few years ago. I have a bunny named Gus Gus and he is a blue eyed white and she is so soft! He is a mini rex. I love this bunny hat and think it will look cute on some pretty babies this easter!

  7. Help! The first row is very confusing! It says I should have 8 HDC, but the directions don't even ask to make 8 of them, I only had 6. Also, it keeps saying to crochet into the "last chain from hook". Does this mean into the first chain when you ask to Chain 2? I'm so confused and I really want to make this!

  18. I need help with the first round as well – bought yarn and hook for this but is having trouble figuring out the first round. I'm fairly new to crocheting, any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!!

    • specifically, what does it mean by 'last chain from hook,' and also 'slip stitch into the top of chain 3?' Because the last step before that was 'chain 2 and 1 DHC.'

  19. I had a dwarf bunny for 10 years. She was brown, just like the kind you see running around in your yard, but she was bred to be a pet. Her name was Petey (which was later changed to Petey-Girl when we found out she wan't a male!) She was the sweetest thing ever. She was partial to me, I guess because I was the only one who took care of her, although my daughter brought her home. She was litter box trained, and knew her name. She came running (hopping) when I called her (inside, of course!) I never let her run around outside. If you get a bunny, do your homework. research them well. There is a lot to know about raising bunnies. They love fruit! Cherries, bananas, grapes, apples. But they need hay more than anything to keep their teeth from getting too long. I hope you get your snuggle bunny one day. I loved mine. She crossed over the rainbow bridge about a month ago. I still miss her so much!
