Free crochet pattern: Bella the Bunny

Byloredana
free crochet pattern of a charming handmade bunny, complete with her signature overalls.

Meet Bella, the adorable bunny who’s bound to hop right into your heart! I created this sweet little bunny with my own children in mind. I wanted a soft, comforting plushie that would fit perfectly in their little hands. Something they could cuddle, carry around, and love for years to come.

This free crochet pattern lets you bring Bella to life, complete with her signature overalls that add a touch of rustic charm to her look. Her soft, cozy texture makes her ideal for snuggles and quiet moments, making her a perfect first companion for babies and young children alike.

Bella is part of my Mix & Match Crochet Animal Collection, which also includes Kenny the Koala, Charlie the cat, and Bruno the bear. All designed with the same soft, lovable feel and perfectly sized for little hands. Each character can be customized and combined in fun ways, giving you endless creative possibilities.

Get ready to bring Bella to life with this free pattern, and let your crochet hook create a bunny full of love!

Everything You Need to Make Bella

To make Bella the Bunny soft and extra cuddly, I used super bulky weight yarn (#6) for a plush, cozy finish. Specifically, I chose:

You’ll also need a 5.0mm crochet hook, along with a tapestry needle and scissors for finishing touches.

For the face details, I used black and pink cotton yarn to embroider the eyes and nose, adding a sweet handmade touch. And don’t forget polyfill stuffing to give the head its soft, squeezable shape.

Be sure to use embroidered eyes instead of safety eyes to avoid choking hazard to small children.
