Clover is a chubby cream bunny with long upright ears, a white muzzle, a pink nose, white feet and a round fluffy tail, with a mint cord scarf.
She is made from the same round head and body as our other friends, and the long ears are simple flattened tubes. Step-by-step photos show every part, and at the end you can make a brown bunny with the same pattern.

What You’ll Need

The finished size depends on your yarn and hook: thicker yarn and a bigger hook make a bigger Clover.

FAQ
How do I make the ears stand up?
Crochet them tightly and sew all the way around the base. For extra stiffness, slide a pipe cleaner inside before you close the ear.
Which yarn works best?
A smooth sport-weight cotton shows the stitches clearly and keeps the shape. Velvet yarn makes a softer, cuddlier toy but hides the stitches.
Is it safe for babies?
Safety eyes can come loose with hard play. For a baby, embroider the eyes with black yarn instead.
