Pattern was easy to follow. Bunny is cute but next time I would use a softer yarn. He is a bit stiff

Rectangle Bunnies Crochet Pattern
What Is Being Made
Rectangle Bunnies are adorable stuffed toy bunnies designed by Jess Coppom of Make & Do Crew. This crochet pattern produces customizable bunny toys available in multiple sizes—small, medium, and large—making it versatile for various gifting occasions and stash-busting projects. The bunnies are perfect for baby showers, Easter baskets, or as beginner-friendly practice projects.
Craft and Technique Overview
This is a crochet project specifically designed for beginner crocheters. The pattern emphasizes simplicity and accessibility, requiring only fundamental crochet skills. The construction method involves creating rectangular shapes that are then assembled through basic seaming techniques, making it an ideal introduction to toy-making for those new to the craft. The straightforward design allows crafters to focus on building confidence with essential stitching and finishing skills.
Stitches Used
- Single crochet – the primary and only stitch required for this project, making it exceptionally beginner-friendly
- Basic seaming – used to assemble the rectangular pieces into the finished bunny shape
Yarn and Materials
Rectangle Bunnies are worked in super chunky weight yarn (weight 6/super bulky), specifically using Lion Brand Homespun Thick & Quick, which features 160 yards per 8 oz skein. The super bulky weight allows for quick project completion and creates a soft, textured finished toy.
Yarn quantities vary by bunny size:
- Small Bunny – ½ skein (pictured in Coral Stripes, color 792-201)
- Medium Bunny – 1 skein (pictured in Pearls, color 792-412)
- Large Bunny – 2 skeins (pictured in Dove, color 792-497)
The pattern is highly customizable for yarn substitution, allowing crocheters to work with stash yarn in different colors and textures while maintaining the same basic structure and sizing flexibility.
Difficulty Level
This pattern is rated beginner, making it ideal for those just starting their crochet journey. The reliance on single crochet stitches and simple seaming eliminates complex techniques, allowing new crafters to create an impressive finished project quickly. The addictive nature of the pattern means crafters often find themselves making multiple bunnies once they complete their first one.

Great people!
I have completed this project ( the rectangle bunny). It was fun to make, assemble and complete.
The pattern was very accurate and easy to read. I appreciated the warning that making these is addictive, I started out wanting to make 3 and just finished my 10th.
