3 mm crochet hook
Stitch marker (optional)
Tapestry needle
Scissors
Glue (fabric glue, hot glue, or strong craft glue)

Summary

The video provides a detailed tutorial on creating cute bunny appliqués using crochet techniques. The creator demonstrates the entire process step-by-step, starting with materials needed (4-ply 100% cotton yarn and a 3mm crochet hook), then showing how to make a magic ring and complete the bunny's body with 10 single stitches in the first row and double crochet increases in the second row. The tutorial continues with instructions for creating the bunny ears using chain stitches, followed by making and attaching a nose, eyes (using black Kundans or embroidery thread), a decorative bow, and finishing with mouth detailing. The creator explains that these bunny appliqués can be used as rakhis, keychains, or embellishments for other crochet projects. The video concludes with information about finding the written pattern in the description and encourages viewers to try the project and share their results.

Introduction and Materials

The tutorial about making cute bunny appliqués that can be used for crochet projects or as rakhis. For this project, the or uses 4-ply 100% cotton yarn and a 3mm crochet hook.

Creating the Magic Ring and First Row

How to make a magic ring by looping the white yarn on the hand, putting the needle in the middle of the loop, and bringing the working end out. After making the magic ring, 10 single stitches are worked into the center. The creator emphasizes the importance of including the tail end when inserting the needle and ensuring the stitches don't overlap. After completing all 10 stitches, the magic ring is closed by pulling the tail, and the row is finished with a slip stitch into the first stitch.

Second Row with Double Crochet Increases

For the second row, start with chaining three and then works double crochet increases in each stitch around. The first stitch has a chain three and one double crochet, while the remaining nine stitches each have two double crochets (increases). The row is completed by slip stitching into the third chain, resulting in 20 stitches total.

Creating the Bunny Ears

Begin making the bunny ears by chaining six. For the first ear, after leaving the first chain from the hook, a single stitch is worked into the second chain, followed by a double crochet stitch in the next chain. The pattern is repeated for the second ear, with two single stitches in between to create the gap between the ears. The creator chains six again and follows the same pattern for the second ear.

Hiding Tail Ends and Finishing

How to hide all the tail ends by flipping the project over and using a tapestry needle. The starting tail from the magic ring is first knotted and secured, then woven into nearby stitches before cutting the excess thread. The finishing tail end is similarly woven into the back of the project.

Adding Facial Features

How to make and attach the nose, which comes out as a dot shape. It can be attached using a tapestry needle or by putting the crochet hook into the magic ring and pulling all the tail ends to set it in place. For the eyes, the creator uses black Kundans, but mentions that embroidery thread can also be used. The creator emphasizes the importance of correct positioning of the eyes under the ears and suggests placing them in the gap between two stitches for a neater look.

Adding Decorative Elements

How to tie a small bow as an accessory for the bunny. After tying it like a shoelace knot and adjusting the threads, the excess is cut off and the bow is attached with glue near the ear. The creator mentions that fabric glue, hot glue, or Fevibond can be used. For the nose and mouth detailing, black embroidery thread is used. The creator inserts the thread from the magic ring loop, makes a straight line for the mouth, and stitches in a U shape to complete the bunny face.

Final Touches and Conclusion

How to secure the threads by turning the project over and tying them. If the bunny is being attached to other projects, the tails don't need to be hidden completely. However, for use as a keychain or rakhi, all tails should be neatly woven in for security. The creator concludes by mentioning that the finished bunny appliqué can be used as a rakhi, keychain, or embellishment for projects like sweater caps. The detailed written pattern is available in the video description. The creator encourages viewers to try the project and share their results through comments or by tagging on Instagram.
