I'm new to pattern writing (literally, last week!) and this pattern will be my very first free one! I haven't had anyone test this, so if you run into any errors or have any questions, please feel free to contact me. If you'd like to share my pattern please link back and spread the word! I ask that you do not claim this pattern as your own. I have no problem with you selling anything you create from my patterns. Have fun!
Buneary turned out to be around 14" tall from the tip of the ear to foot.
I didn't have the labels on the yarn I used, but I used a dark brown Hobby Lobby "I love this Yarn", and a Yarn Bee (also found out Hobby Lobby) brand in off white that was semi fuzzy ( I picked it up last summer when it went on clearance! It reminded me of sheep!) The feet are an off white acrylic Red Heart color.
Materials:
Size H hook
-Dark brown yarn
-Off white or tan yarn (feet)
-Off white or tan fuzzy yarn (body and ear puffs)
-Polyfil
-Felt in black, white, tan and pink
-Hot glue and glue gun
-Thread needle to connect pieces
Stitches used: Single crochet (sc) and decrease (dec)
Dec = Insert hook into st and draw up a loop. Insert hook into next st and
draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw through all 3 loops on hook.
I would say this pattern is pretty easy and if you're learning amigurumi it's a great place to start. You only need to know single crochet and decreasing and how to attach parts.

*ASSEMBLY TIME!!*
I stitched the noggin to the body first. The widest part of the head is the front/back (where you apply the felt face). Next I added the arms to the body - (the top brown body section). Add the ears to the top of the head(unstuffed! With a pipe-cleaner if you want flexibility!). Feet get added to the bottom of the body (the QT fluff part!). Turn your Buneary around and add that tail! DONE! OH --wait, no face?!!! I always Google image search anything I'm making; so you might want to pull up a good photo of Buneary. Cut out 2 felt oblong circles for eyes and 2 small white circles for the insides of the eyes. The nose is a light pink little triangle. The light pink felt is also used for the insides of the bunny ears. Black felt was used for the mouth. Light tan sideways oval shapes were used for the brows. I also used tan felt for the undersides of the feet (not pictured). VOILA! You have your own Buneary!!
