A 10 cm light brown bunny with long ears, wearing a green frog hat with big eyes, a green jacket and a burgundy ruffled scarf, and holding a carrot. The legs and body are one piece, the head is made separately and sewn on, the jacket is worked flat from the neck down with sleeves picked up at the armholes, and the hat is double crochet. A 2.5 mm hook.

Assembly
- Head to bodySew the head onto the body, the last 18 stitches of the head to the last 18 stitches of the body (see sewing amigurumi parts).
- FaceThe safety eyes go in before the head is closed, in the middle of the face with about 6 stitches between them (see safety eyes). Embroider a small brown nose between and below them, a short white line under each eye, and add a touch of blush if you like.
- EarsSew the flattened ears on top of the head, close together, so they stand up through the hat as in the photos.
- Arms and feetSew an arm on each side of the body just under the head. Sew the feet to the front of the legs at the bottom and embroider two short brown toe lines on each.
- TailSew the tail on low at the back of the body.
- Frog hatGlue each eye top, wrong side up, onto an eye base, then glue or sew the two frog eyes onto the front of the hat. Put the hat on the bunny with the ears coming out at the top and sew it in place with a few stitches.
- Jacket, scarf and carrotPut the jacket on, sew two small buttons opposite the buttonholes if you want to close it (in the photos it is worn open), and sew on the patch. Wrap the scarf round the neck and sew its ends together at the back. Sew the carrot to one hand.

Frequently asked questions
Who designed the bunny in a frog hat?
A crocheter friend of our maker, who let us share the pattern on Loopy Panda and translate it. We checked every round's stitch count, and filled in the few steps the original sheet left open (the tail rounds, where the side decreases go, the scarf and the carrot leaves) from its stitch counts and photos.
What hook and size?
A 2.5 mm hook with a fine wool gives a bunny about 10 cm tall. A thicker yarn and a bigger hook make a bigger bunny; the stitch counts stay the same.
Is it good for a beginner?
The bunny itself is all single crochet in the round, which is fine once you know increases and decreases. The jacket (worked flat, with armholes and buttonholes) and the double crochet hat take a little more practice; start with the beginner's amigurumi guide if they are new to you.
