The Tiniest and Cutest!

This bunny sits in the palm of your hand, measuring only 3.5 inches when made with sport weight yarn. I love how adorable and cute she is and would love to make a whole rainbow of them in different pastel colors. In my personal opinion, I think that the smaller an amigurumi is, the cuter, which is why you see so many minuscule creations on this blog! So it’s no surprise that even though I have so many other amigurumi bunny patterns, I still wanted to make a new pattern because of how cute and small she is.

Best Friends!

I based this pattern off of the one that I published a little while ago for Cinnamon the Mini Bear, so that they two would be the exact same size and shape. I really love the result, and I think that the two match perfectly! Never mind the fact that bears and bunnies are far from the same size, but in my cute and cuddly world, everyone gets along 🙂
