Materials You need a
3.50mm hook (an ‘E’ hook)
approx. 15g sock yarn (or fingering weight cotton)
2 little buttons for eyes
1 darning needle
Small amount of white DK or WW yarn (for teeth)
Note: this pattern uses American terms, the British terms are in [brackets].
Bunny Body:
Start by chaining 3 and join with a slip stitch to form a little circle.
OR: start with a magic loop
Round 1: Chain one, then do a SC [DC] in the same stitch below (this counts as your first SC [DC] here and throughout), then do 9 SC (DC) into the circle. (10 stitches in total)
Round 2: Chain one, then do 2 SC [DC] in the same stitch. 2 SC [DC] in next nine stitches (20 stitches in total)
Round 3: Chain one, then do 1 SC [DC] in the same stitch, 1 SC [DC] in next nineteen stitches (20 stitches in total)
Round 4: Chain one, then do 1 SC [DC] in the same stitch, 2 SC [DC] in next stitch, *1 SC [DC] in next stitch, 2 SC [DC] in stitch after. Repeat from * around, ending with 2 SC [DC] (30 stitches in total)

Bunny Ears (make 2):
Chain 11, do a SC [DC] in the second stitch from hook. Do 1 SC [DC] in the next nine stitches. Chain one.
Now turn this twisty little piece of crochet upside down, so the bottom of the starting chain is facing up. Crochet 1 SC [DC] in the bottom loops of the ten stitches across. Chain one.
Turn your work right-side up, so the first row you did is facing up again. Crochet 1 SC [DC] in the first SC [DC] of the previous row, as though you were starting a normal row. Do 1 SC [DC] in the next nine stitches,
then 1 SC [DC] into the top of this little rectangle, and crochet 1 SC [DC] in each of the stitches down the other side.
Cut yarn, leaving a 4 inch/10 cm tail to sew your ears on.
Assembly:
Sew the ears on either side of the bunny body head. Position the button eyes in such a way that bunny looks vaguely threatening (or cute, if you so desire.) Sew on firmly - nothing worse than a one-eyed Killer Bunny.
Create teeth by simply adding two vertical stitches in white yarn. Again, contemplate how to position the teeth in order to make the bunny look extra-scary.

So cute! I love their monstrous little faces.
They are adorable, I wish I could crochet so I could make some XD
I love them!!! So cute! The teeth are adorable! :D
They're now perfect with the button eyes. Well done.
I'm still calling mine (whenever I make them) Mr. and Mrs. G Save 3.
And you are right, Voie de Vie! We are thrifty egg eaters! Furthermore, we are conserving energy by packing our eggs into little woolly jumpers - think of all the extra heat we're saving. Our energy bills will be cut in half, at least! Take note, eco-lovers - saving money AND the environment!
Absolutely adorable! I love how they look cosy, yet cheeky. And I hear you on the Cadbury's Creme Eggs--they're one of my not-so-hidden vices.
Thank you for the pattern, they're hilarious, but... now don't you think toast will feel left out?
Me thinks I'm needing a matching tea cozy!
ROFL! No rude comments eh?? *Chuckle!* Those bunnies are so unique and cute, thanks for the tutorial!
I think these are great my grand
children will love them also good
for using up small bits of wool.
