Crochet Applique – Bunny

Find here a crochet pattern to make a Bunny crochet Appliqué

Hi everyone! 💕 I’m so happy to finally share a new pattern with you. Life has been a little busy lately—my daughter has stopped napping, which means free crochet time is a bit harder to find. I’ve also rediscovered my love for reading (something I barely had time for after having kids!), so now my quiet moments are shared between crochet hooks and books 📚🧶.

But here it is at last—a brand new appliqué pattern! Say hello to this adorable crochet bunny appliqué 🐰✨

Designed with love and attention to detail, this sweet bunny features a soft, rounded body, cute floppy ears, and a charming little face that’s hard to resist. This appliqué is easy to attach to bags, blankets, clothing, or any crochet project using a simple stitch or a bit of fabric glue, making it both fun and versatile.

This pattern is beginner-friendly, works up quickly, and is perfect for using up small amounts of yarn—ideal for a relaxing, creative break.

Don’t forget to join my Facebook group,  you can ask your questions, and share your finished projects. I will regularly ask you what pattern you would like to see next (or you can even suggest something even if I am not asking!).

I hope you enjoy this pattern and find it easy to follow. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out—I’ll do my best to help. And I’d absolutely love to see your finished bunny appliqués, so don’t forget to share them on social media using #natalinacraft to inspire others and show off your beautiful work 💕
