Amigurumi Lucky the Bunny Free Pattern

Lucky the Bunny

 stitches and crochet techniques used

Slip knot

Make a loop with yarn, the end of the yarn should be in the back. Insert the hook in the center of the loop, yarn over and draw up a loop. Pull to tighten.

Slip stitch (sl st)

Insert the hook in the next stitch, yarn over and pull through all loops.

Chain stitch (ch)

Yarn over and pull it through the loop to create your first chain stitch. A foundation chain is created by crocheting the required number of chain stitches.

Single crochet stitch (sc)

Insert the hook in the next stitch, yarn over and draw up a loop (2 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through both loops.

Half double crochet (hdc)

Yarn over, insert hook in next stitch and draw up a loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on hook.

Single crochet increase (inc)

Work two single crochet stitches in one stitch.

Single crochet decrease (dec)

Insert the hook in the front loop of the first st and in the front loop of the second stitch (3 loops on hook). Yarn over and draw up a loop through the first two front loops on hook, yarn over again and pull through remaining 2 loops on hook.

Magic ring

Make a loop with yarn leaving 3” long tail. Insert the hook in the center of the loop, yarn over and draw up a loop. Yarn over and pull through to make your first chain. (Do not count this as your first stitch.) Continue to crochet over the loop and the yarn tail until you have the required number of stitches for your first round.

For example, if the pattern calls for 5 stitches, sc 5 times into the ring (insert hook into the center of the ring and draw up loop, yo and pull through both loops). When you’re finished, pull the tail to close the ring.

Fasten off with invisible join

To make nice, invisible finish – thread tail onto tapestry needle. Insert the needle under both loops of the second stitch of the round. Insert the needle between back and front loop of the last stitch of the last round and pull the yarn to secure.

Working in back loops

Insert the hook under the back loop only and draw up a loop (2 loops on hook). Yarn over and pull through both loops on hook.

Foundation chain and crocheting around it

Start with the slip knot and crochet the required number of chain stitches to make the foundation

chain. Make the required number of single crochet stitches in the top loops of the chain. The pattern may call for increases in the outer stitches of the foundation chain. Turn the piece and continue crocheting in unused, bottom loops on opposite side of the foundation chain.

Color change

Work to last 2 loops on hook. Drop the first color, yarn over with new color and draw through both loops on hook to complete the stitch. Continue with new color.
