How to Make a Bubble Bunnies Crochet Applique for Easter Decor

Crocheting is a wonderful way to create beautiful and unique decorations. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of making adorable bubble bunnies, perfect for Easter decor. These appliques are simple and easy to make, and can be completed in just a few minutes. We will be using pastel shades of yarn to give our bunnies that festive Easter look. If you're interested in obtaining a free written pattern for this project, it is available on our website, The Yarn Bowl Crochet. So let's grab our materials and get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the necessary materials:

• Acrylic yarn in pastel colors
• 4mm crochet hook
• Scissors

Step 1: Making the Magic Ring

To start, we will create a magic ring. This allows us to work in the round and create a tight center for our bunny applique. Begin by making a slip knot and placing it on your crochet hook. Then, create a chain of 3 stitches. This chain 3 will act as our first double crochet. Next, work 15 more double crochets into the magic ring. This will give us a total of 16 double crochets. Finally, tighten the magic ring and secure it with a knot.

Step 2: Working Round 1 - Double Crochets

For the next round, we will be working a stitch called the pebble stitch. To do this, turn your work to the wrong side. Begin by working a chain 1, which does not count as a stitch. Then, work a single crochet into the same stitch as the chain 1. Now, yarn over and insert your hook into the next stitch. Pull up a loop, creating three loops on your hook. Repeat this process of yarn over, insert hook, and pull up a loop two more times. You should now have seven loops on your hook. Yarn over once more and pull through all seven loops, completing the pebble stitch. Follow this with a single crochet in the next stitch. Continue this pattern of pebble stitch followed by a single crochet around the ring. At the end of this round, you will have 8 single crochet stitches and 8 pebble stitches.

Step 3: Working Round 2 - Pebble Stitch

Since we are working on the wrong side, we will now repeat the pebble stitch pattern. Start by working a single crochet in one stitch, followed by a pebble stitch in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern around the ring. At the end of this round, you will have 8 single crochet stitches and 8 pebble stitches, just like in the first round.

Step 4: Creating the Bunny's Head

Now that we have completed the main body of the bunny applique, it's time to create the head. Turn your work to the right side. Begin by working a chain 3, which will act as the first double crochet. Then, work two double crochets in each of the next two stitches. This will give us a total of 5 double crochets. In the following stitch, work only one double crochet. This completes our bunny's head.

Step 5: Adding the Bunny's Ears

To create the bunny's ears, turn your work to the wrong side again. Starting from the first stitch, work a slip stitch in the back loop only. Once you have completed the slip stitch, work a chain of 6 stitches. The first chain will serve as the base for the ear. On the third chain from the hook, work a half double crochet stitch. Then, work another half double crochet stitch in each of the next two chains. Finish off the ear with a single crochet in the last chain. This completes one ear. Repeat this process for the second ear, working slip stitches in the back loops of the next two stitches.

Step 6: Attaching the Fluffy Tail

No bunny is complete without a fluffy tail! To create the tail, choose a yarn color of your choice and wrap it around your index and middle fingers 25 to 26 times. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Use this tail to tie a knot around the center of the wrapped yarn. Make sure the knot is secure. Do not cut the tail, as we will use it to attach the tail to the bunny applique. Shape the pom-pom as desired and trim any excess yarn. Attach the tail to the back of the bunny applique using a crochet hook and the tail we left from the magic ring. Fasten off the yarn and cut any remaining ends.

Step 7: Final Touches and Fastening Off

Congratulations! Your bubble bunny crochet applique is now complete. Take a moment to weave in any loose ends and give your bunny a final fluff. These appliques are perfect for creating a cute Easter bunting or adding a festive touch to your home or workplace. Feel free to experiment with different pastel colors to create a whole family of bunnies.
