I want to share with you a very nice bunny toy pattern made in the form of a blanket. These types of toys are cute toys made especially to make babies happy. If you are going to use this toy as a blanket, adding a rattle inside the arms of the toy would be a logical choice, but if your child is very sensitive to sound, you can give up this choice. Basic materials are used in making the toy and it is recommended that you crochet the toy using a 3.5mm crochet hook.
Bunny Blanket Topper Amigurumi Pattern
What makes this amigurumi toy different is that it can be used especially for babies. Thanks to this toy, your baby will be happy and you will be able to hug your baby comfortably. I also think it is a product that can be used for decorative purposes. I think it is a preferable amigurumi bunny design especially for a child’s room.
Crochet bunny consists of 4 basic parts. Among them is a hair clip in the shape of a bow tie and a body made in the form of a blanket. Although there is no information on how to make this body, I would like to remind you that you can benefit from the free number blanket design. So you will not have any difficulty in this regard. I think the design of this toy will reveal your creativity.

You can find details on how to make a bow tie by clicking the link below. You can use these types of bow tie patterns everywhere. Especially for dolls, the hair clip choice is usually a bow tie.
Bow (in highlight color)
I used the free bow pattern from https://www.lilleliis.com/amigurumi-crochet-freebies/crochet-bow/
Blanket
Make a 40 x 40 cm blanket of your choice. Block your blanket before assembling.
Assembly
Pin and stitch the ears to the top of the head. Pin and stitch the blanket and arms to the bottom.
Place and stitch the bow. Embroider the eyes and nose onto the head. I recommend starting with the nose so that you have a central reference for the eyes.
