Amigurumi Tim Rabbit The Ami by Mary's Amiland

What is Being Made

Tim Rabbit The Ami is a crocheted amigurumi toy rabbit character designed by Mary's Amiland. This stuffed toy stands approximately 22cm (8.6 inches) high and 7cm (2.7 inches) wide without arms. The finished amigurumi features a complete character design including a rabbit body, articulated limbs, facial features, footwear, and accessories such as a beret and carrot.

Craft and Project Type

This is an intermediate-level crochet project suitable for crafters with foundational amigurumi experience. The pattern was originally designed in May 2014 and refreshed in January 2017, with notable updates to facial construction techniques and the addition of a beret accessory replacing the original cap design.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

The pattern employs standard amigurumi construction methods, which typically involve working in continuous rounds using single crochet stitches to create three-dimensional forms. Techniques include:

• Shaping through strategic increases and decreases to form the rabbit's head, body, and limbs
• Facial feature embroidery or appliqué work for detailed expression
• Color changes throughout the project to create distinct design elements
• Assembly of multiple crocheted components into a unified toy

Materials and Tools

Yarn: Cotton fingering weight / 4 ply yarn (14 wraps per inch) is used throughout the project. One ball contains approximately 50 grams (1.75 ounces) and yields 155 meters (170 yards). Specific yardage requirements include:

• Rabbit body: approximately 34 grams (1.19 ounces) in ivory
• Rabbit details: approximately 8 grams (0.28 ounces) in green, plus small quantities of light green and pink
• Shoes: small quantities of light brown and burgundy
• Eyes and mouth: small quantities of black, brown, and white
• Beret and carrot: approximately 6 grams (0.21 ounces) in blue, plus small quantities of orange and bright green

Hooks and Notions: The pattern requires multiple crochet hook sizes for different sections. A 3mm crochet hook (US C/2 to D/3) is used for primary construction, a 2mm crochet hook (US B/1) for finer details, and a 1.5mm steel crochet hook (US size 8) for precise finishing work. Fibrefill polyester stuffing is used to fill the completed amigurumi form.

Pattern Characteristics

This downloadable PDF pattern represents a refined version of Mary's Amiland's original 2014 design. Key updates in the refreshed 2017 version include improved facial construction techniques and redesigned headwear featuring a beret instead of the original cap style. The intermediate difficulty level indicates the pattern assumes familiarity with basic crochet stitches and amigurumi fundamentals such as working in the round and managing yarn tension for consistent sizing.
