Bunny Pencil Topper
Free Amigurumi Crochet Pattern
Bunny Pencil Topper adds a pop of handmade charm to any pencil, pen or crochet hook.
Skill Level: Advanced Beginner
This no-sew pattern is written in U.S. crochet terms, complete with clear instructions and video tutorial to help you along the way. Bunny Pencil Topper is crocheted in the round/continuous spirals without joining the rounds. I suggest using a stitch marker or different color yarn to keep track of each round. Bunny Pencil Topper is crocheted in worsted weight yarn and is approximately 2.5 inches tall to the top of the ears. Be aware that size may vary depending on the yarn and hook size used. Gauge is not particularly important, just be consistent with the tension you are using. And most importantly, have fun!

For this pattern you can either crochet R2-R6 with the wrong side facing you or turn your work inside out at R4 and continue crocheting the next two rounds. Feel free to turn R1-R6 inside out at R6 - it may just be a bit harder. You can use a pencil or back of crochet hook to do this. R1-R6 is the post for the pencil.

R16 we’re making the ears. Mark the back loops only of stitch 9 and stitch 14. All ear stitches will be worked into the front loop of the marked stitch. I suggest marking the slip stitch of each ear as it’s helpful for R17.
-
R16: sc in next 8 sts, [ear: sc in flo then ch 5, dc in the 2nd chain from hook, hdc, sc, sl st, then sl st to initial flo sc to join] sc in next 4 sts, [ear: sc in flo then ch 5, dc in the 2nd chain from hook, hdc, sc, sl st then sl st to initial flo sc to join], sc in next 10 sts {24 sts} counting the marked back loops, not the flo stitches of the ears.
-
For R17: We’ll work into the back loops that we marked for R16 and not into the stitches of the ear. After you work into the marked back loop, reach your hook over into the next stitch.
-
-
R17: (sc in next 2 sts, dec) 2 times, sc into marked back loop st, sc next st, dec, sc next st, sc into marked back loop st, dec, (sc in next 2 sts, dec) 2 times {18 sts}
-
We’re going to pause and place the eyes and nose. Place 9mm safety eyes between R13 and R14 leaving 5 stitches open between the eyes. Secure safety eyes when happy with placement. With pink yarn, create a nose by embroidering a line, in between the eyes, between R13 and R14. Optional: Add some cheeks under the eyes.
-
Place your bunny on a pen or pencil for support and then lightly stuff around the middle post. Continue to lightly stuff as you continue crocheting.
