Kavaluku- free crochet bunny amigurumi pattern

I’ve always wanted to design a crochet bunny and I’m so stoked to finally have gotten to it! Kavaluku is an adorable crochet bunny amigurumi pattern. Apart from being great for Easter, it would make the most adorable spring baby gift.

About the pattern.

This crochet bunny pattern is made using Needles 8 ply acrylic yarn. Again, the texture of tis yarn is just awesome! This time I worked with Hot Blue, Leaf Green, Chocolate Brown and Hot Pink. The body and base is made using a combination of hot blue, hot pink and leaf green. While designing Kavaluku, I kept thinking about the Easter Bunny. I still have a hard time trying to make sense of it but I couldn’t resist making an egg bunny hybrid!

The ears are made using chocolate brown, hot blue, hot pink and leaf green.
