Amit the friendly rabbit is an ideal playmate for the little ones in the house.
If you do it with 3mm crochet hook, its height will be about 20 cm and its thin arms and legs are ideal to be picked up by little hands.
You can choose the color tones that you like the most to give it life.
Amit means friend.

● 100% Cotton yarn: 5 colors of your choice (for the rabbit’s body, pants, scarf, cheeks and the nose embroidery).
● Crochet hook according to the thickness of the yarn used. In this pattern used a 3 mm crochet (and 2,5 mm for the cheeks).
● Black safety eyes (I used 8 mm eyes, but you can use the size that you like most for this project or you can make the eyes embroidered).
● Toy stuffing.

Stuff slightly (then we will put more stuffing).
To make the legs, divide the body with markers in this way: 10 stitches for each leg with 5 stitches in between (it is important that the 5 stitches that are in the middle are centered and so, if it is necessary, add or undo stitches):
Leg 1:
Join the 10 stitches with a sl st and continue crocheting:
Rnd 1-8: 10sc (8 rounds)
Rnd 9: (4 inv dec, 1 sc, 1sl st) [6]
Close*
(*fasten off, leaving a long tail. Using a tapestry needle, pull the yarn tail through the front loops and pull it tight to close. Weave in the yarn end).
—Stuff the leg #1 and the rest of the body through the hole in leg #2—
Leg 2:
Do the same as with the previous leg (I recommend leaving a long thread at the beginning to sew the gap between the legs at the end).
-Before starting round 9 finish stuffing what is missing. Finish and close.
-Check if there is the right amount of stuffing, sew the gap between the legs and fasten off.
EARS (X2):
Make with the same color of the body
Rnd 1: 6sc in a mr [6]
Rnd 2: 6 inc [12]
Rnd 3-5: 12sc (3 rounds)
Rnd 6: (1sc, 1inc) x6 [18]
Rnd 7-8: 18sc (2 rounds)
Rnd 9: (2sc, 1inc) x6 [24]
Rnd 10: 24sc
Rnd 11: (1inv dec, 10sc) x2 [22]
Rnd 12: 22sc
Rnd 13: (1inv dec, 9sc) x2 [20]
Rnd 14: 20sc

Rnd 16-18: 18sc (3 rounds)
Rnd 19: (1inv dec, 7sc) x2 [16]
Rnd 20: 16sc

Rnd 23: (1inv dec, 5sc) x2 [12]
Rnd 24: (1inv dec, 4sc) x2 [10]
Rnd 25: (1inv dec, 3sc) x2 [8]
Rnd 26: 7sc, 1sl st [8]
Fasten off leaving a long thread to sew it onto the body.
ARMS (X2):

Rnd 1: 6sc in a mr [6]
Rnd 2: 6 inc [12]
Rnd 3-4: 12sc (2 rounds)
Rnd 5: (1inv dec, 4sc) x2 [10]
Rnd 6-15: 10sc (10 rounds)
Rnd 16: 9sc, 1sl st [10]
Fasten off leaving a long thread to sew it onto the body.
*The arms don´t need to be stuffed.
PANTS:
Make with another color of yarn (color B)
Make 40 ch and join with sl st in to first ch (to form a ring) and continue crocheting:
Rnd 1-4: 40sc (3 rounds)
Rnd 5: 2sc, (5sc, 1 inc) x6, 2 sc [46]
Rnd 6: 46sc
Rnd 7: 2sc, (5sc, 1 inv dec) x6, 2 sc [40]
Rnd 8: 2sc, (4sc, 1 inv dec) x6, 2 sc [34]
Rnd 9: 34sc
Separate with markers in this way (in the same way that we did before with the legs): 12 stitches for each leg with 5 stitches in between.
Leg 1:
Join the 12 stitches with a sl st and continue crocheting:
Rnd 1-2: 12sc (2 rounds)
Rnd 3: 11sc, 1 sl st [12]
Fasten off by hiding the excess thread.
Leg 2:
Do the same as with the previous leg (I recommend leaving a long thread at the beginning to sew the gap between the legs at the end).
Sew the gap between the legs, Fasten off and hide the excess threads.
CHEEKS (X2):
Make with thinner yarn and 2,5 mm crochet hook (color C)
Rnd 1: 6sc in a mr [6]
Rnd 2: 6 inc [12]
Rnd 3: (1sc, 1inc) x6, 1sl st [18]
Fasten off leaving a long thread to sew it onto the body.
* If you do with 3 mm crochet (and a yarn according) may be too big for the face of the rabbit, if you see that it is so, do only rounds 1 and 2 ending with a sl st.
SCARF:
1- Make 69 ch
Turn and continue crocheting starting in the second stitch.
2- 1sl st, 1sc, 1hdc, 62dc, 1hdc, 1sc, 1sl st
Top off by hiding the excess thread.
ASSEMBLY:
1-Put the pants on to the rabbit taking care that the legs are well placed (make some stitches if you want to fix them).
2-Place the cheeks, under the eyes, according to what looks good for you (using pins) and sew.
3-Place the arms on each side of the body, just under the head, and sew.
4-Place the ears, with the help of pins, in the head according to what looks good for you (I put the base of the ears on round 6 approximately) and sew.
*You can make a few stitches hidden under the ears, so that the ears are more attached to the head (in the back of the head), as seen in the images.
5- Tie the scarf around the neck.
